Ulterior motives at play when it has to be concerned about more than itself.


Perhaps so. But to our fortune, these impressions should help illuminate the way.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Wowzers! Yeah we have a broad search ahead of us.


It should not be hiding from us. Greedy dragons like this one are too prideful. And yet.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I can look outward! Inward is a little harder.
*Through unspecified means, I observe the world from much farther up high to see how far out the golden city's expanse reaches*


*The segment of the city exposed to the atmosphere rests between the dividing lines of three canyons, but its reaches beyond that point extend further, to the ends of the continent above ground*
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Is it just the city that’s gold? How far does the gold stretch?


Can you scan it? For all I know, it extends into the planet’s core.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Surely it could easily have moved in the undoubtedly huge amount of time that’s passed since?


Dragons don’t enjoy moving their dens. If the city is gold, it must still live here, and if it lives here, it is most probably in the same nest, hoarding its treasure.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A nexus point where the people are within range of something that happened and could be reacting to? Say, a crowd of folks looking terrified of something?


Exactly what I was thinking. If we can identify where the dragon was, we can find its nest.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

We won’t, then. But that means we’re going to have to put in a lot more effort and be more careful.


If we can find its heart, we can kill it. If this still of their lives was taken shortly after the dragon was possessed, we might find a clue in the reflections.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Why would they be kept alive?


I don’t know. The sensation is hard to describe, but it’s as if these scenes were a feather’s fall from continuing on. I feel like destroying anything reflective like this would be the wrong choice.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I think that’s the gimmick. So what’s stopping us from just blasting the whole planet to bits? Either just annihilating this dragon on the spot or forcing him to reveal himself immediately.


*Traces one of the faces with my index finger hovering just over the gold*
...Because these people may still be alive.
