Chantilly pouts and crosses her arms, it was one thing to bring with her the tapestry, but she couldn't think of a way to bring the whole room with her. She sighed: "I guess Henry's right. How far from here is this flying citadel?"

"There's a village not far from here, a five mile hike to the far side of the mountain, through forested hills, over logs and rushing creeks and along muddy trails. Maybe half a day's walk," Talia answers. "Called Mageholm. The citadel is docked there for the moment. I can provide you with a banner that will signal you as friendly to the occupants of the citadel when you approach. I can also provide you with a pass-phrase that can get you through most of the citadel's security without issue. So we have a deal then?"

Eliana looks to the others. She knew it was going to be a hard fight, and the others seems to agree to it, so she says. "I think we have a deal."

Henry - HP: 52\52 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: Aid
---------------
Henry doesn't seem that happy in having to promise to give this Mask to Talia but doubts they would get out of here peacefully unless they accept this deal. So he slowly nods and says "so. If we manage to actually pull this off. How we'll stay in contact with you? If we have to board a flying citadel we might not be around to readily bring you your prize."

"If you are successful in slaying Rezmir, then I would assume you would, at that point, have control of the citadel and can simply fly it back here," Talia answers.

"Yup, that sounds like a good plan." - Chantilly says as she stretches. - "I think the only question left is: can we rest a bit before going?"

Eliana looks to Jemna, who had been awfully quiet this whole time. "Are you coming with us?" she asks.

"Of course," Jamna replies.
"There are guest rooms on the east side of this floor," Talia says. "But I'd advise you not to dally too much. If the citadel takes off without you, you will not be able to catch it on foot."

"We will probably only need a night," Eliana says. "But before I do that, I was hoping to speak to you about this blessing, as you call it, since it is something personal to me."

"Then speak," Taila says. "But try not to waste too much time."

"How does it work, exactly?" Eliana asks. "Why do I spontaneously grow scales? Why was I the one that was given powers from a dragon that rained chaos upon my home? Why can other dragons sense the dragon that I'm connected with, even though that dragon is supposedly dead?" She decides to just rapid fire the questions since Talia seems to be in a hurry at this point.

"You...you really don't know anything?" Talia asks, surprised. "You poor thing. I can only imagine going through all of these changes and having no idea." She looks fairly sympathetic. "You know of the Dragon Purge, yes? All of those souls were absorbed by the Overlords, and they used them to create their skull totems--a great source of power for them to draw magic from, despite the fact magic had largely been removed from the world at that time. It was how they crafted their Dragonspawn, for instance. When the Overlords were slain, their totems were destroyed. All of that draconic soul energy was released into the world all at once. Naturally, it seeped into the souls of living mortals, and as a result, changed them. These soul fragments have fused with your own soul entirely, and this makes you connected to all of dragonkind. Truly blessed, really."

"Fused with my soul?" Eliana asks. "So, Khellendros is apart of me?" She seems a little horrified upon learning that information. "Is that why the scales keep multiplying?" she asks. "That part of Khellendros isn't like, taking over is it?"

"That remains to be seen," Talia answered. "This blessing has not been around for very long. We don't know the long term effects. But from what I've seen, yes, as your power grows, so do your scales. It's possible we might even manifest additional traits. A tail, horns or wings perhaps. Who can say?"

"Wings would be super cool. A tail would be useful. Horns... Hmm, I'm not sure about those." - Chantilly comments.
