It's a good thing Joey had never asked about the life cycle of a dragon.It might have turned him off dragons forever.
Slithorin laid the hard cased bronze egg beside the 100 or others which already lay in one of her nests.
She heard a bellowing in the distance.Her nest sister was returning with the latest maiden sacrifice.Soon the already hatched dragon larvae would be feeding on the preys blood and flesh.
Joey was undergoing some major changes in that egg of his.
Ty teleported himself back to the mage Guilds hall where he found Brian
mike and Christine talking to some of the locals at the private bar.
They had been talking about Joeys love of dragons.
The local wizards had been setting them straight about what dragons were really like.
Think transforming alien slime.
Think banana like slugs plopping out of their eggs and oozing along the floor and feeding on human blood and flesh as their multisegmented bodies revealed purplish glowing organs inside a translucent skin
Think larvae spinning a coccoon around their disgusting slimy bodies and emerging as beautiful lusty dragonets.
Mike ,Brian and Christines faces were as pale as snow as the wizards recounted tales of hundreds of these slug monsters descending on villages and consuming and destroying everything in their path.
Tales of valiant knights plunging their swords into the dragon larvae,only to be paralyzed as black dragons ichor bubbled forth from the wound.
Then the horror as the larvae wrapped itself around the human and coated it in purplish steaming slime.The horror of feeling your bones dissolved as your body and mind reformed into that of a dragon slug.
When the wizards had heard that Joey had been tranformed into a adult dragon seed bearer,it was their turn to go deathly pale.Some idiot had just got himself turned into a monster.
Well ,the local wizards had a pretty good idea what the threesomes quest would be.
Slay their former friend before he spread more larvae into the world.
Then Ty burst in and smirked as he announced Joey had just turned into a dragons egg.
Everyone turned even more deathly pale.
It was Christine who spoke up
"Uhh,Ty,I think you better boost our powers,we're going to need them!"
The 2nd quest had begun!
