Journal Entry #41

Hey, journal. I'm technically not home right now so this is more of a mental entry. My class all went on a trip to the Aelor homeland and uh... We got all split up. A few of us made our way to a seemingly abandoned city and we found Tessa in a well.

We also found a giant mysterious monolith!
That was guarded by a dragon.

Oh and that dragon is now staring at me.

Also tell her the naked apron thing she does while baking cookies is the best ever.

>The world seems to split apart. Alpherialum emerges from a crack in space and stares into the room.

"<I could sense that my binding was severed. Tali, you did it... Though my power is yet restored, I already feel so much better simply knowing that I can finally leave this cursed place.>" The dragon says. She peers down at the trembling Ceer. "<Ah, is this my captor?>"

Yeah uh, we'd like to keep her captor for ourselves, you can offer to demonstrate a Ceer's weakness to show that you know how to handle Ceer.

Better yet, if she says something about eating them: "<I can do worse.

I wonder what it would be like being able to dragon transform at will (both allows for dragon sexy times and gives us cool dragon powers). Also ask for help with locating and gathering your friends.
Oh and offer her a place in the dragon stables to live becouse she probably has nowhere else to go and could teach us/other dragon friends a lot.

Fael is a good girl, and if she can give us something, even just advice that will make life easier for her, that'd be nice.

Relatedly, if she's looking for a place to settle down, like she mentioned, Minia might not be a bad bet. There are lots of dragons there she can socialize with and, if she really wants to stick it to the Ceer for holding her captive for god knows how long, you'll probably come across plenty of Ceer artifacts that need a good smash from something bigger than your noodly elf arms.

Can we go on a date? Not sure what you like to do on a date as a dragon, but I'm eager to learn your interests.

I speculate the whole "End" thing is a metaphor, freeing her didn't bring the end, she's just like... one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, you know, not the cause, just a symptom. She's a natural creature with a role in the ecosystem, we shouldn't interfere in such things. She might not even play her part for a millennia, she's a dragon.

Ok, no one is escaping the heat death of the universe unless you hop into a much younger universe. Which is the true solution to the Apocalypse. You just run away.

Hold on, bringer of the end of what?

If she’s the bringer of the end of a particular city or something, it might have already happened.

In which case, you could ask for, like, Aelor strength. Or if she can bless you with knowledge, an underdtanding of biochemistry would go a long ways towards figuring out how to help Ceer reproduction.

For the boon, we should try to get her help collecting the other lost students and returning them to Minia, or to the rest of the field trip as intended. Out of curiosity you should ask what end her title refers to.

"Maybe... Something Fael would like? She's my dragon. I mean... She's not -mine- but I'm her rider. I ride her. Like... In battle. Yeah."

"I see."

>The dragons appears to think for a moment. Then, she plunges her hand into her fucking torso like it's a completely normal thing to do and pulls something out.


"Here." She says, and hands Tali a tiny ember. "This is pure elemental fire, the oldest flame around from the oldest dragon around."

"Oh wow... What uh... What do I do with it?"

"You can do many things. You can use it on yourself to give your elf body a new natural magic, make yourself immune to burning, give it to your dragon to give her a boost in her might. It can be used as fuel, a catalyst, whatever you could imagine. It is my gift to you."

"Oh wow. Thank you! Oh, and uh... Can I ask you one more favor? Can you 'not' end the world? I like the world."

On a side note: The wand is a Ceer artifact, and you know what those do. Us orbs are one thing, but we should probably consider giving the wand to Ceera instead of having Tali use it.

Hmm. He already used it once, but he's not showing any signs of ceerification. Should we test how much he can use the wand until they start appearing? Then he can go hug a tree or quaff syrup or bone Alisya or whatever he needs to do to get his Earth back on.

I believe Ceera's confirmed that Ceerification only happens rapidly if you overuse them without restoring your elemental mana. Hell, Tali has three orbs he uses fairly frequently and the book and isn't a Ceer yet.

Yeah, they probably won’t listen to you. Your best bet is to have Ceera convince them we’ve got a real shot at safe Ceer fertility.

If all else fails, there’s always Vaisi’s old room... but I’d much rather add them to our think tank.

Speaking of which, try to find some time to hand us over to gears so we can aquatint each other with what we know of the reproductive sciences.

Amazingly, that’s not an euphemism this time.

Just give her to Vaisi. She'd appreciate a chew toy.

It looks like Gears just got a slave assistant. Maybe they can help her finally rescue Lily from that terrible alternate universe.

Ceera will be able to transition (heh) them into their new role as a member of the school staff and I'm sure the other instructors will give them a lesson on research ethics.

Also, do we get to name it? That's how it works when you capture a pokemon right?

Do you have a new ceer girlfriend now?
Things might be getting out of hand.

Damn Tali it's almost like you broke her bagpipe.

Bring her to the faculty. This Ceer definitely seems like someone who is worth interrogating. Ceera might be able to convince her to at least calm down a little though, and cooperate so the interrogation isn't so unpleasant.

"Bump" is not a suggestion. Don't bump threads unless you have something to add to the quest.
