The ornate doors opened slowly revealing a large uneven orb of the blackest scales lined in a beautiful shimmering gold, two tails wrapped on a horizontal metal beam in the ceiling held the orb that now shifted as if readjusting, two massive wings opened giving way to two other smaller ones just bellow them, a long neck revealed itself and soon a head with various scaly protusions on either side of its back followed, the dragon's head faced the trio and three eyes of purest glowing purplish golden opened, two on the left and one on the right, a fourth eye could be seen but it remained closed as a scar crossed right in its middle, Salokir daughter to Numefacto and mother to all scaled races guardian of light but not lacking in a full connection to all aspects.
-Dearest Alexander, you bring children?- Her booming soft and sweet voice echoed in the titanic chamber.
Alexander nodded and pushed Alimur forward, Velka eyed the situation in silence.
-What do you want little one?- Her voice was tranquil.
-I wish to rid of the nightmares plaguing me- Alimur responded with firm conviction.
-Hmmm, and what is your name?-
-Alimur... Gaisgeach-
Salokir placed her massive claws on the ground and unwrapped her tails from the ceiling, now standing on all fours the last Dragon stood in her full glory and a bright shimmering light engulfed her which quickly faded and revealed her humanoid form clad in a golden black gown, she was taller than Alimur by at least a torso, her three eyes focused on Alimur, her four wings fluttered softly before folding on her back and her tails dragged on the ground behind her as the female approached the Human, she motioned for him to reaveal his face and once he did she smiled, Salokir sat on the ground and beckoned the Gaisgeach to lay in front of her, he hesitated and looked to Aurora but before the couple could say anything Salokir interrupted.
-Be not afraid, I already have a lover and won't do anything bad to you-
Alimur took a deep breath and laid on the ground, the Dragon pulled his head onto her lap and Salokir placed both claws on the Human's head, Alexander coughed and sighed, the elder female spoke again.
-I may not be able to stop the nightmares myself... however there's someone who might just ease them-
Her claws glowed in purest golden light and Alimur fell in a slumber, she looked at Aurora and offered the Demi-Human a simple smile and patted the ground beside her to which the Seles sat beside her and before she noticed Alimur was in her lap causing her to softly blush until the Dragon spoke again and Velka waddled beside her "parents".
-I understand what it is to be young and in love, many eras ago... but now I should focus on what's before me and not reminisce- Salokir looked to Alexander.
-What did you do to Ali?- Aurora inquired before Alexander could talk.
-Temporarily sent his soul to Tengonahei, realm of those burned in rite_-
-MIA!-
-Yes, that one has quite the liking to him-
-Salokir if you will- Alexander said as he motioned to the Dragon.
She smiled softly and patted Aurora before following the Human Council man, Aurora was left alone with her lover and she gently caressed his head, Salokir crossed her arms and looked at her favorite Human from above.
-What is it?- She calmly inquired.
-Your sister attacked some citizens-
-Is she back to her old ways then?-
