• How many did it take to bring it down?
• Three, and not because my aim was off. It also took three trips to get it all home. The beast was enormous.
• My cat brought a mouse into our lodge the other day and let it go. The mouse ran under the potato bin.
• What did you do?
• I fried it with a lightning bolt and gave Kitty a steaming hot meal.
• Did I mention? Yesterday, I toppled six giant firs in a single afternoon. It's a record.
• Oh yeah? Well, I toppled three giant lumberjacks in the drinking contest yesterday afternoon.
• Ooooh, that's much more impressive.
• I did it while dodging the giant firs some dolyak-hump kept dropping down on us.
• Oh. That was you?
• You should think about joining the Order of Whispers.
• I don't want to talk about it.
• See what I mean? You'd be perfect.
• I like my life as a lumberjack.
• Sure. It's easy to ignore what's happening in the world when you're out there alone.
• But, what's happening out there has arrived here, on the mountain. We can't ignore it anymore.
• I came back to convince you. You have to come with me.
• How can I? My mother is ill, maybe dying.
• Her people will take care of her. You can't stay here, waiting for her to die, when there's so much death and destruction elsewhere. We need you.
• Surely the Priory has other shamans who can read the ancient runes?
• Not as well. It's been your life's study. Please. These artifacts we've found may hold the key to defeating the Elder Dragons.
• So, the fate of the world rests on my shoulders. Is that what you're telling me?
• We all have a seat at the fire.
• Ask your mother what she thinks you should do.
• Hmph! I already know what she'll say. She believes I'm destined to build a great legend.
• But, all I want is to spend as much time with her as I can—before she dies.
• I spent the morning repairing my armor. I broke three straps in that last battle.
• I swear I spend more time maintaining my armor than I do wearing it.
• Let's hope that's true for a long time to come.
• What do you think the Elder Dragons want?
• Power. If they have their way, they'll destroy all the other Spirits of the Wild and us.
• I'm not sure. I think they want destruction, not power.
• Same thing.
• The Elder Dragons come from nature. They're part of the balance.
• What aspect of nature could have gotten so out of whack that it awoke such a destructive force?
• That, I think, is the question we should all be asking ourselves.
• I remember my great-grandfather talking about watching the charr army march through a mountain pass when he was a kid.
• The world has changed a lot since then.
• You can say that again.
• It's good the charr attacked the humans when they did.
• Why do you say that?
• It made humans stronger and more resilient, so they will perhaps survive Dragon.
• Or at least, they'll slow him down. And then, we can finish him off.
• I've never understood the army mentality.
• Other cultures need armies because their people are soft and dull—unlike ours.
• They thrive on discipline instead of on passion.
• The son of my father's sister is in training to be a havroun. We're all quite proud of him.
• Congratulations. He must be strong and keen-minded to have earned the position.
• The Spirits of the Wild recognized something special in him. They took him away last full moon, and no one has seen him since.
• Havroun training is more intense than a midwinter avalanche, from what I've heard.
