Eonam came in and bowed and sat beside the dragon. A few moments later, an elderly man walked into the dragon's chamber and said, "What is it that you require?"

The ghouls muzzle curled in response to the jibe, snarling as well as his rotten lungs would allow. "Failures... I see, so because your cowardly abandonment on the eve of the greatest battle our kind has ever faced resulted in the majority of our deaths, we're failures? I should-"

Russet forceabley calmed himself. He needed answers first, then he could shout all the insults he wanted. "Which brings me to my question: why didn't you come when we called? Wasn't our abject slaughter and disrespect of all living things enough to give you your sick pleasure?"

It was raining when the old men went to the dragon court, he forced the paesants to excavate a large hall out of a natural compex below the castle, creating an ominous trhone room for himself. Even so deep under the earth the sound of the falling rain cold be heard, it created a weird cacophony with the echoes of the cavern, unsetting for mortals but pleasing for Tovash.

"I seek knowledge of the land and of its heraldry, old man, I want to know the local lords, their family trees, I want you to find the ones that held the weakest domains, as I have an offer for them."

"Gather all the knwoledge that you have, and bring the information I seek before dusk"

Then he dismissed the old man.

"And you, Eon, you served me well until now, but I need you to be stronger..."

He turned toward one of the boy servants, he brought there a precious calice, that once belonged to the ruling family.

"Bow to me, Eonam, and accept my reward for your loyality."

The dragon used its claws to cut a trough his scales, letting a drop of its viscous dark blood fall into the chalice. As soon as the substance touched the metal it begun to twist, as metal into a forge...

"Drink and accept your fate..."

While the dragon presented to the boy a gift of his power he had a shiver, like a sign of destiny, was he shaping the weapon of his victory or the one of his demise?

The ghoul king had to use all of his energy not to lash out against the devil then and there. "Our own weakness was to lose against two races unified as one that had before then been nothing but cattle? Never mind," Russet, added, waving a claw as though it didn't matter. "I have the answer to my question... now all that's left is the message."

Giving the devil a cordial smile, the ghoul king placed a claw on it's shoulder... before that smile turned into a snarl and a placed his other claw on the fiend, twisting it around and thrusting it against the wall. "Listen well, because the only reason I'm letting you live is to pass this on to your little friends! You devils are traitours, manipulators, and weaklings, and I will not rest until my ghouls have eliminated every last one of you and devoured you all down to your thrice damned bones! This is a proclamation of war! DO YOU HEAR ME!!"

A little of the dragon blood flowed to the boy hands, at first he believed it would have melted them, like the chalice, but it was cold he felt a little pain but it seemed harmless.

It has a strange taste, at first it looked like a poison but it was a sweet one, after he got the first drop he could not stop but keep drinking, even if the supernatural coldness of the blood begun to fill his body.

Soon the noise of the rain become as strong as the one of drums, as the supernatural blood amplified Eonam senses, making even the simplest sound painful.

Then the world went dark...

When he woke up he was tired, more than he ever was, even when the lord of the village forced him and his family to work in the last days of the harvest.

The dragon was there watching, he never attempted to use this power before, he was curious of the outcome on the boy. His family was there too, they have being awake the whole time, waiting in the cold cave of the beast for him to wake up.

At first he felt like nothing was changed, but his parents expression betrayed that something has happened.

He felt stronger indeed, tired but much stronger, the dragon cut a stone boulder from the cave, using his tail, the cralcking sound of warped reality was stronger than the last time, or maybe Eonam hearing was better, the stone fell toward him, but it did not look that fast, the boy was capable to catch it with ease, his reflexed enhanced by the warp drake blood.

"Now you held a small portion of my power, I want my herald to be able to stand a fight with my enemies, this will not grant you the ability to defeat a trained knight, not without some work on your own, but you will have an edge anyway..."

"If this place has someone who knows how to fight, and if I have remembered not to kill him, you should seek his guidance"

"I have many, my lord"
"Finding your people was quite lucky for us, what we want first is knowledge of this continent and its inhabitants and I think that you, and your people will be able to tell us much about its wonders."
"We also seek for new allies there and a place where we can establish a small colony, to begin trading with you if you are interested"
"Our artisans are capable of producing a lot of products that will help your people life" Told ambassador Yoven.

"And maybe weapons for your armies should you ever need some..." Added lady Zhara.
