I guess you can say it is the "curse of beauty". We always knew someone powerfull would take a fancy for the princess one day, but how could we have imagined it was gonna be a dragon?! And now I am in this mess, all because I was the only one who cared to learn something of use from the surface folk in the east. Yeah, I can pack some punch but, what difference is gonna be that against the breath of fire of a dragon?! I think the kinos fail to realize that, like, too much.
Ah, Princess Momo, why did you had to be so pretty? Neither kino nor hume, yet your cap flowed like golden hair, and your eyes were such a saphire blue. How could someone not like her? But, somehow, I think the dragon lord has something else on mind. What does he plans to do with the Earth Crystal? I know dragons have mighty sorcerous powers, but nobody can handle the power of the Earth Crystal, not even the seer. And now I have to go ask the seer for it. What am I supposed to say? "Give me the crystal for the Dragon Lord so we can have our princess back, pretty please"? Like that is going to work.
It's like being in the old days again. The surface folk do not remember, but we who live deep, oh yes, we do. The ancient days in which you had dragons everywhere and in all sort of shapes, not just the self-claimed "true dragons". Dragons made of rock, crystal, even pure elements: nobody remembers them. They were here, there, and everywhere you could imagine, doing whatever they wanted and as they pleased. And we, the little? Food, slaves, or toys. You name it: those were our only options. But then came the great heroes of the first ages, the Leadwrights. Is thanks to them that dragons are now in the numbers of today and this world is no longer theirs. *Sigh* I those guys were still around, this wouldn't be happening.
But, for now, I am more worried about this place. There are rumors of some sort of witch or demon or something similar capable of turning creatures to stone. I mean, I know wizards and witchs can do many strange magics on people and creatures alike, but that is something really terrible. However, so far, I see nothing that would hint at such a thing in these parts. Everything looks calm, thought I find it odd that there aren't too many birds around, as there were back at the mountain's bottom. Oh, and that one must be the temple of the seer. Some fancy taste on decorations: so many statues of people and animals. They look so life-like, whoever did this, is quite talented but, somehow, it gives me the creeps. I hope it's just me, but I have a bad feeling about this.
