Dialogue

Mount Aldolla

–Volcanic Caverns–
GRRAAAAAWWWRRR! Ha! You think to stand against me, puny hatchling? Gyaah?! A hit, Emperor! A palpable hit! Today, you vanquish dragons—tomorrow, you conquer the world! There is an ominous aura about him...

It may finally be time for me to fulfill my calling. And yet...I'm so terrified. Give me courage, Brother...

Mount Aldolla

–Near the Entrance–
Hee-yah! Nyrrrgh... The fiends here are a troublesome bunch. Has the eruption agitated them? It's sure as hell agitatin' me! Why not them?

Ya don't ever hear about Mount Adolla eruptin' except in kiddie stories.

I've found a trail! The footprints are fresh, and there are a lot of them. The positioning suggests well-trained soldiers.

They really ARE tryin' to kill the dragon!

Zethia passed through here, too. I can feel it, and faerie senses never lie! I feel it too, Notte. She's close. There's a disturbance in the mana here. Some ill has befallen the dragon.

We may already be too late.

No, we're not. I am going to stop this.

I swear it!

GRAAAAAARRRGH! Yep. Think we found the dragon. We should make haste.

The Flamewyrm is a fearsome beast, but she also presides over the volcano and holds its fury in check. Were she to be silenced, the result would be nothing less than catastrophic.

Come on, everyone! Move!
