So the lot of you headed off to see the Oracle the next day.
You were surprised to discover that the Oracle was not dragon-kin,dragon or human but
what looked like a 4 foot tall stone column with a 4 foot diameter copper coloured platter
sitting on its edge on top
of the column.
Now you'd seen enough sci-fi shows in your previous human life
to guess that this was some kind of computer with a view screen on top.
So when all the other dragon-kin gathered in a circle around the gizmo
and chanted "Awaken Oracle" you weren't to surprised
when a image began to form on the platter of a dragon-kin in a achaic looking uniform that if this were a human sci-fi tv series,looked like a early
19th century officers uniform,complete with tricorn hat ,breeches and a sword.
However none of the other dragon-kin seemed to have clued in to the fact they were acting out their real lives in a sci-fi tv show.
And you weren't about to tell them that the Oracle was not a flesh and blood dragon-kin stuck inside a copper platter somehow.
So you went with the flow and acted like the computer generated image
was a flesh and blood dragon-kin.
It was only that night when the rest of the dragon-kin were asleep that
you crept back into the chamber containing the Oracle ,chanted the
chant "Awaken Oracle"
and when the officer dude in the archaic uniform
materialized on the copper plated viewscreen
rather then asking the standard requests about planting crops,
should Sally marry Johnny,etc
you asked the computer for a ships update( Where theres a Oracle thres gotta be a crashlanded
starship and were rewarded with schematics of the mountain all these caves and chambers were in,as well as other tunnels leading deeper to
chambers and caverns further below.
The image of Officer dude relocated to a corner as the machine animating
him informed you that the Gaia class LuSirius Four's
hull intergrity was Good,the landing engines was Excellent
the HyperCruise Drives were In-operative and Weapons were
In-operative.
Then,since you darn well knew "Gaia" was another name
for the Earth in Greek Mythos,you asked
the Officer dude to show you the image of the planet the Lusirius Four
had originated from and the image
of Earth popped up.
Not 'your' Earth( 2016) but a Earth that had existed several millions
of years
earlier.
You hadn't come back in 2016,or even the future,but into your
distant past.
<Lusirius Four>
<Lucifer>
The War Between the Forces of Light and Darkness
you realized with horror.
The Good Book that would be written millions of years in the future
was going to write you and the other dragon-kin off
as the bad guys thrown into Hell after losing the War.
