Flower Trove
Flower Trove of the Wool had witnessed the plight of the blessed dragonkin in their newfound home. Though they lacked in faith, their problems were familiar, for he had known many Tailed tribes in his time. Alongside Leaping Star and the holy priest Long Fur of the Scale, and a mechanical appliance that was aligned with the Helper's ways, he set forth to offer what aid he may to their kind.

With one hand on his cane, he lets his other arm be supported by Leaping Star, helping him take each step. "Ye arn too kinnd, blessed one. Ye shonnae give yenn strength to one like I," he says. But he does not push her away.
Leaping Star
She's looking all around, but hardly taking a thing in, too busy admiring to properly acknowledge. It takes her a moment to notice the elderly tailed had spoken.
Leaping Star
The hold on his arm grows more firm, supportive, as she remembers where she is. "I don't see why not! In fact, I'd say you should have my aid ahead of many others."

"You might not live much longer, being so old, so I'd like you to be comfortable." The comment is purely observational, not a hint of malice in her tone.
Longfur
"A tailed is royal creature, rabbit! We can be reborn from our age....."

"Aye. The Helper willn call me one day soon, an I will go ta Her."
Buster
Buster happily slithers along beside the tailed, looking about as it's been ready to support any way it can, though it seems less helpful than Leaping Star is in this situation.

Buster
"I'm Buster."

"Oh. It's one of those robots." Longfur muses disappointingly.

"This one is a 'machinne'. I dinnae know the workinn of such thinns. But whoevem made it knew tha Helper's teachings, en it will aid us."
Longfur
"A robot of holy origins? Do tell. I've not heard of such things, but to be honest, I don't listen much when robots are involved."
Leaping Star
Her head swivels around between the sources of the voices, taking it all in. Her tail sways, the snowy white fur covering up the elderly tailed's stubby tail.

"Mmmmmm..." Flower Trove hums a little, though not in a meaningful way. "I am nae priest who may speak to ye deeplyer, holy Long Fur. I simmaly see the Helper's ways, in how it acts, an speaks. 'tis a small thing, an avoids atentionn, yet offers isself wholly to whatever one maym ask of it, en nnever desires ought from others."
Buster
"I don't remember anything before a few days ago but I've been helping people all over the islands."
Buster
"Flower Trove of the Wool wanted to know about where the dragonkin were, and I ran into them the other day with One Forever when they were looking for the dragon. We even saw it!"
Longfur
"Yes, but it is black and gold. Maybe an embassy of the Divided to spread knowledge?" Longfur instantly accepts the idea that the robot is some sort of holy, but metallic beast, now only stuck on what god to attribute it to.

Flower Trove bows his head. "As ye say, holy Long Fur." For how could one such as he contradict the high priest of the Radical?
Longfur
Longfur snaps out of her thoughts. She lowers her ears as in their path......
Abyss Horse
....was an unholy omen.
Longfur
"Don't look him in the face. Ignore him. Nothing but bad things comes out of that one's mouth." Longfur bears her teeth in a threat to Abyss Horse.
Buster
"Let's see....I know about shells that become snails, know about stealing from bats, I know how dragons come out-" It gets distracted by the newcomer.
Leaping Star
Receptive to Longfur's sudden change in disposition she stops, keeping a gentle hold of Flower Trove.

Abyss Horse
But Abyss Horse is not stopped. "Yesterday, as I had said. Two had died." Abyss Horse trots behind the group.
Abyss Horse
"Today, a terrible beast will be released."
Abyss Horse
"How many times must my predictions come true, before you listen to my words?"

Flower Trove can only walk so fast, the omen-speaking tailed easily keeping up with the party. His interest is piqued by their words, yet he is troubled as well.

Trying to speak quietly, he whispers to Long Fur. "What 'tis it he speaks of?"
Longfur
("This one believes that the gods are evil. That the gods tell him of horrible events to come, because they hate the worlds he visits.") Longfur whispers back.
Leaping Star
Leaping Star squeezes the tailed of the wool's arm, an unspoken warning about not ignoring the strange tailed, though she was unsure if such a signal would be understood.
Longfur
("I cannot deny that his predictions have been coming true, but he is wrong. Maybe the gods warn him of horrible events to come, and he just sits there and does nothing out of laziness.")
Abyss Horse
"I sense the unleashing of the beast to come soon."
Abyss Horse
"And you all stroll outside. Do you not fear what the gods want?"

("...'tis nae myn place to decide such a thing. Bu' if I may ask, why haven ye killed him for such heresy?")
Leaping Star
("Sometimes sad people hear things wrong, the words they hear aren't the words that were said. Maybe he's just upset about something?")
Longfur
("Hmmmm I have thought of it. I am of rank to do such things....I suppose it is because of what he told me....")
Longfur
("He has said, that if someone stops the gods from what they wish to do, this entire system of islands shall suffer from a horrible storm.")
Longfur
("Annoyingly, I worry, if the gods would get angry at these events unmet, then what of killing their speaker?")
Longfur
("Yes, I believe that he is wrong, but I do believe that he is hearing the gods. How else could he be right so often?")

".....Ah see. Yenn burden of decision is a heavy one. I will pray that tha Helper may guide him in some smalln way to the true path."
Leaping Star
She goes to speak, but trails off as Flower Trove rests the decision on Longfur's shoulders.
Buster
Buster continues along, keeping pace with the others as it asks a question it had on its mind as the tailed had talked. "What are the gods?"

Flower Trove turns to the robotic serpent with a benevolent tone. "The Gods arn tha source of all thinns, the reas'n for our lives. We shallm return to them upon each of our deaths."
Leaping Star
She claps her hands together and then points to the high priest. "Longfur of the Scale, I know how we might stop this madness!"
Longfur
"Do tell."
Leaping Star
She bows her head slightly. "If you were to offer me to the gods now, surely they would spare this isle?"
Leaping Star
"Then the strange horned one will have no more messages to misconstrue!"
Longfur
"No! That is an unnecessary sacrifice! I don't really care about most of the aliens on these islands. I think they can all just get in their ships and leave if it is such a problem."

"My messages are not misunderstood, rabbit! They are true, and I fear the god's wrath with every piece of my soul!"
Leaping Star
"Ahh, um..." Surprised at the rejection, then the chiding of the stranger, she mumbles herself into quiet.
Abyss Horse
Suddenly, Abyss Horse stops his trot, as if a wall was suddenly raised from the sands. "Beyond this point, I shall not follow. Least I end up in the path of the released beast. This is something I can feel."
Longfur
"Good! I will meet you in the domain of the Radical if we die!" Longfur moves ahead of the group, to go find the dragonkin so Flower Trove would not have to suffer a search.

Flower Trove is hesitant to respond. Yet he sees no harm in dispelling the misled Tailed's worry. "Evena if yenn beast emerges, 'tis only a beast. It mayn be killn or tammed, or driven from tha land."
Buster
"What sort of beast would the gods unleash anyways?"
Buster
"I've seen many as big as an island and as small as a shell!"
Abyss Horse
Abyss Horse turns around. "I suppose you are correct. Maybe the beast will do no damage, no harm....."
Abyss Horse
"But I have seen the beast.....in my visions."
Abyss Horse
"A rabbit." While such a comment would have not seemed strange to most species, to tailed, the rabbit was the most innocent of creatures, unable to willingly cause harm, or lie. Abyss Horse even opens his book too such a passage which he has marked in red.
Abyss Horse
"-And when the rabbit was asked for its pelt to be used for the cold winters, it agreed. And when the rabbit was asked for its meat to be used in hard times, it agreed. And when the rabbit was asked for it and its children to die a million deaths, it agreed." Abyss Horse shuts his book.
Abyss Horse
"Think of how much anger such a creature could have."
Leaping Star
Leaping Star lets her arm slip out from under Flower Trove's own sluggishly, having approached Abyss Horse to inspect the book, right up until he slammed it shut.

She looks back to the holy tailed, the righteous tailed, and cocks her head. "Why would a rabbit be angry for that...?"
Flower Trove
"..." Flower Trove is silent, letting Abyss Horse's words linger in the air...

Before he hums in amusement. "Ye may be of the Radical's flock, but tha First Poet has his talons in ye as well, to thinnk of such wilder things. An angry rabbit! Hm, hm, hm." He shakes his head a little, secure in his knowledge of the tailed's delusion.
Leaping Star
She shakes off a passing wave of timidness as she takes her place back by the Helper tailed's side, reaffirming the hold on his arm.
The trio continue forwards, to the dragonkin, leaving Abyss Horse behind.
Longfur
Longfur finds Flower Trove and brings him to the dragonkin. "I fear there is little hope for these two, but I must be honest old shepherd-"
Longfur
"-I don't have much tolerance for stupidity and dragon hiders."

Flower Trove feels a twinge of nostalgia. The dragonkin seem so young to him, so naive. "Ye emissary of god will nae solve all yenn problems, 'tis true. The work must falln to you. An of what the wrath speaker told ye, manym times hav I seen a younn Tailed, even born to my own kin, place their God be'ind every failure, en every success. But 'tis nae like that. The hunter must hunn, en the weaver must weave, en nae expect God to do it for themm."

"We've been trying but it's fucking hard! You think you got an eye on the issues and bam! Somewhere else someone manages to fuck it all up by getting murdered!"
Lulove
"Even the poor local aliens outside the islands are getting affected! I'm really starting to feel like we're totally messing up. I wish our dragon would talk to us but she's so temperamental sometimes...."
Raloud
"Don't tell them about-"

Lulove barks and disallows Raloud from talking over her. "We HAVE to tell them about the dragon! They're tailed, they wouldn't do anything bad to a dragon!"

"Have ye tri'ned offering her a sacrifice?"
Raloud
"We don't know what she wants! I love her with all my heart but she doesn't talk much, or maybe we just don't understand. We've been trying to get more dragonkin to see if we can get more people who can talk to her, but we can't get anyone to be blessed by her!"
Lulove
"Sadly, even when we bring people to get blessed she...scares them....so they run away!"
Leaping Star
She gingerly pats the elderly tailed, a humble wallflower as this follower of the wool navigated the back and forth of the dragonkin.
Flower Trove
"Hmmmm, hmmm..." Flower Trove thinks, quiet for a bit, before turning to Long Fur.

"Long Fur. If I may request yenn priestly wisdomm... If I took on a blessing of tha Radical, would tha Helper still receive myn soul in death?"
Longfur
Longfur carefully considers Flower Trove question. "Mmm do not let the Helper hear such words yet. Something feels wrong about this dragon."
Longfur
"You, dragonkins! You will take us to our dragon right now! You want another dragonkin, well then let us see this so called dragon. No one should offer until they can see which child of the Radical shall assist with their spiritual path!"

"I trust you guys. So I think we can show you." Lulove says, grabbing Raloud's arm.

Flower trove bows his head. "Thannk you. We shall trea' yen guardian with grace en respect."
Leaping Star
Heeding Longfur's warning she keeps her words wrapped in quiet, but is unable to withhold her giddy comments from Flower Trove's ears. ("Such boldness even in your age, looking out for those of us younger. Perhaps we shall see you in the Radical's domain instead?")
Flower Trove
Flower Trove does not respond to the bunny tailed's comments, for she is innocent of the offense they hold.
The group followed the dragonkin to the entrance to a cave in a hidden cove.

The large gate that covered the cave entrance is wide open.

Lulove
"H-HUH!?!? HER CAVE WAS LOCKED WHEN WE CAME HERE THIS MORNING!"
Raloud
"You made sure to lock the gate when you checked on her, right?"
Lulove
"I did! I promise I did!" Lulove says as she checks the gate. The handmade door was splintered open, as if something had broken in, instead of out.
Leaping Star
She looks at the shattered door, her mind casting back to the sudden encounter with that odd tailed. The two events do not connect, however, so all she mumbles is "...Stranger..."
Buster
Buster slithers over to the gate, looking it over, as the others discuss about the dragon. "It looks like something broke into the cave here. I don't think someone tried to get out."

Longfur
Longfur does not seem pleased with their answers. She peeks into the cave, looking for any signs of the dragon as she follows Flower Trove forward. "You should have figured out how to protect her and let her face the sky. A mountain top, a glass roof over her head, anything! If we find her, we WILL give her a proper home! You're keeping her like a Sleeper's child, cradled in this darkness!"

"Sorry...she just really seemed scared to leave! She told us she's used to living "under" anyway so we didn't think better! We even had her in chains-"

"CHAINS?" Longfur spits.

Even as one not of the Radical, Long Fur feels a pulse of disgust at the thought. "That is nae right," he says simply.
Raloud
"She asked for the chains you asshole! Don't yell at-" There's a clatter of jingles as Raloud trips over chains. She holds them up. They've been cut.
Lulove
"Th...The...The dragon is FREE!"
Longfur
"Do not say that with fear! She is your dragon, is she not?"
Leaping Star
"Maybe... They fear for her safety, high priest." She doesn't sound sure.
Leaping Star
"This was all for her, after all. These chains were made for love, to keep her safe."
Flower Trove
Flower Trove looks closer at the chains. Such precise works of metal were rare among the Tailed, yet he understands their purpose well. So he checks, were they ripped apart by pure strength, or cut through with a tool?
On inspection, it's clear the chains were cut with a tool.
Buster
Buster looks around the cavern as it moves about, trying to see if there are any clues to anything having come into the place.
Buster rolls a 20 sided die. An 8 is rolled.

Buster takes a look around in the darkness, but only hears the nawing of something.

Dragon?
The cave suddenly lights up an aggressive BLUE. A rabbit gazes at the group. A second that felt like minutes.
Dragon?
The creature looked like a rabbit, but it did not move like one. It walked more akin to a canine stalking prey. "You've brought people who would hurt me into my home, children."
Lulove
"No no no! These are good people! Good people, we swear!"
Leaping Star
"Hello, rabbit! Hello!" Despite the unnatural cadence of the rabbit, she fails to recognise it as anything but, cooing and calling to it like an old friend.
Buster
"Oh is this what a rabbit is?" Buster seems to match Leaping Star's energy about the odd creature

Flower Trove knows something of dragons. But not much. Why not one that looks like a rabbit? If this is the Radical's progeny, who would he be to question it? "I coulnae ever hurt you. I am old, an weak, an I liven now only ta serve others. I comme now to aid tha people ye have taken unnder yen wing."
Dragon?
The cave flashes a BLUE once more. "Their exists not one person who would not kill a rabbit."

"The shadow that had freed me told me so. My children, my dragonkin told me of the hunt of dragons out there." The dragon approched, its speed picking up though it never did once hop. "If I must fight, I must fight. No chain to protect me anymore. No door to keep them outside."
Lulove
"I THINK WE BETTER RUN!" Lulove and Raloud start scrambling to the open gate, scared of their own dragon.
Longfur
"This is such a small dragon! She is in shock from this change! What can she possibly do to you!?"
The Dragon rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +20. A 26 is rolled.

The dragon grabs the thornhead that the group had brought along. Impossibly, it lifts it up with a jump, and with a flick of its head throws it into a wall. The creature goes limp immediately.

Buster
Watching the thornhead being lifted in the air by what looks like nothing, the ai's eyes follow as the beast soars through the air and crashes into the wall. "Huh, it stopped moving."
Longfur
"....................."
Longfur
"I do not believe this dragon to be evil, but I think these two idiots have caused her such great mental anguish that it is in the best interest for most of us to run."
Longfur
"Maybe if she follows us, she'll see the skies and she will feel joy once more!" Longfur is horrified.

Flower Trove is slow to react, taking time to process what exactly is going on. Yet, of all the things about the dragon, something nags at his memory. An old myth he'd heard as a child, maybe, just a feeling that there was something significant about... Blue. He starts moving with the others, but he tries to remember, what was that old legend?

She tugs at her collar. She doesn't want to leave the rabbit, yet her priest insists she run, and the elderly tailed would need support. She crouches down in anticipation, whispering to Flower Trove, "I will carry you."

Suddenly it comes to Flower Trove. A story he only heard from the elders of his village one day, as he pressed his ears against a door to hear what they spoke of.

They mentioned a special type of door that lead to a hideous place of BLUE. This twisted world was made of bodies, and evil holy creatures would be sent there as punishment. They spoke of how the creature in there would make holy chains and bindings that would calm what could not be controlled. Flower Trove heard how they were worried about continuing to make and open these doors.

For things kept escaping out.

Flower Trove remembers this so distinctly in their head, for just a week later that person speaking to the elder had disappeared, and the elder told everyone they could not go into the woods at night anymore, for there was a horrible dragon that lived in it.

Flower Trove trembles. His legs shake, and he falls, catching himself only with Leaping Star's help. "Flee. We'm mus' flee!"
Leaping Star
She'd been carried before as a young kit. She mimicked the motions and scooped the frail tailed into her arms. It wasn't her fear she felt, but the fear she felt in him, and it infected her heart. Her wiry frame was not made for this, yet she hurries Flower Trove out of the cave with haste.
Dragon
"A million mundane fears, piled upon each other." The dragon briskly trots after the fleeing party. A cold calmness following the panic. "And what fear escaped? Who am I?"
Dragon
The whole planet for a moment flashes a hideous blue. "I am the fear that grips you, when you gaze into the eye of another person, and their eyes gaze back."
Dragon
"The societal horror of that moment, is my domain."
Dragon
The dragon looks up at the endless sky above it. "People's gazes will meet mine in this world."
Dragon
"Terrifying." The rabbit ignores the group. She stalks in the opposite direction, disappearing into the brush.

Longfur pulls on her zipper in stress. "Another prediction comes true." She mutters in annoyance.

She places Flower Trove down carefully, refusing to release him from her grip until certain he can stand for himself. "His visions may be true, but his interpretations are surely false!"

"Yet tha dragonkin seemed normal..." Flower Trove shakes his head. For many years, he has lived a simple life, observing the subtle ways the Gods influenced the world and holding to his faith's teachings, and he had prepared for his time to come. But this, this was becoming like those tales the Poetnix told, the old stories passed down by the Mirage, where the Gods and mortals wove together in strange and miraculous ways. Who was he, to be involved in such a thing?

"A place of BLUE?"
Longfur
Longfur ponders these words carefully. She has heard whispers of some sort of BLUE that tames rampaging holy beasts but she did not know of any details. She always considered it nothing but a lie that had spread under songs of the rare bard in a rundown tavern.
Longfur
"Flower Trove. I believe you and me will need to discuss this thing you speak of. This BLUE."
