XCI. From the Mud

Trilliux was walking accompanied by some high-ranking guards and two Greater Dragons who looked at him with contempt for his participation in the battle in which one of the queen's advisors had died. His name had been disowned and heavily criticized, but he had not gone through the same punishments as his former captain, retaining his tail and without as many marks or scars from punishments and whippings.

"Hello Trilliux!"

Muriany greeted him with a friendly smile that only irritated the cuffed earth dragon because of all the dragons he needed to see, his brother's former life partner was the last dragon if she could be lucky enough to be on his list. The dragon wasted no time in offering a cup of tea to her hapless warrior and signaled to leave the two of them alone, revealing that she had a small crossbow to manage with one hand to signal that she felt safe to lead the conversation alone.
