Well, you know what they say.

@Valiance

I... don't, actually. What do they say?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

All clear?

@Valiance

It's an obvious trap, inside and out. And the dragon isn't inside.

*Lifts on of my metallic boots out of the mud and looks at the heel*
… I needed to clean them anyway.

@Valiance

Eugh.
*Pokes my head inside the bony dome, which contains a veritable wall of corpses lining the inner wall and a bonfire in the center*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I was thinking quicksand. Where’d your mind go?

@Valiance

Rich soil that's too fresh, if you know what I'm getting at.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Think this is mor than just muck?

@Valiance

I don't like what it implies... or the smell.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Their only interest in what we’re doing is making sure I don’t die doing it. You can put those worries to rest, at least.
*Walks alongside you, but just behind so that you still lead the way*

@Valiance

*Our feet start to trudge in the muddy, loamy soil leading toward a cave carved into the mound*
I'm starting to think we should give this the same treatment as the mountain.

Years of surviving together. We all have that in common, that we struggled through the aftermath of cataclysm and came out stronger.

@Valiance

I said it before, but if you're sure you trust them, I'll put up with it. Just know that if they double-cross us and start digging up these dragons before us, they could ruin everything.
*Starts walking toward the massive mount of bones*

Just most of the time. We help people out independently of our own volition, and very occasionally, we ask for help ourselves. In oarticular when dealing with unknowns… Been a lot of those lately.

@Valiance

How do you decide who can be trusted? Any one of them could stab you in the back.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

She is. Mostly helping our eyes in the sky follow around at the moment.

@Valiance

So you two don't work alone all the time? That surprises me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Contact based like the gold dragon, maybe.

@Valiance

If anything, yes. To that effect, is Chickpea still with us? I haven't heard much from her since we left its domain.
