There's nothing a dragon loves more than treasure. But when I find a beautiful stone at a tiny shop in Moscow, I have no idea it's a drakon tear, or that I've just put myself in the middle of a war between the Knights and a Drakon.

I didn't find their discomfort amusing, I promise. It was more so the fact the normally stoic and withdrawn, if always... Views: 606
