*James, Dezrex, Zeck, and Hermes arrive in Dranton and are greeted by two large Dranturian guards*
G1-Dran, we've been expecting you
DR-Don't call me that, it's Raider now
G2-Well it may not have to be according to the king
DR-Oh so Father is willing to restore my name? It must be important, but somehow not important enough to do it himself, just bring me to the old bastard
G1-Hold on, why is the would be usurper with you
ZD-Oh, you've heard about that here?
G2-We most certainly have
DR-Well he's with me, if you don't let him in, I leave without helping
G1-Fine, we have greater issues to deal with on this day
*The guards lead them through Dranton*
HR-It's sad really, this place is nothing like it used to be, the dragon's absence has done horrible things for this culture, I've seen drawings of all of these buildings in books from the Dranetna, and now it's like ruins
DD-Ah, my son, you returned, I wasn't sure you would, and I see you still have my sacred gems you stole
DR-At least they're getting used, The great dragons Dran and Lex didn't bestow them to us to watch them gather dust
DD-Why have you brought that filth with you
DR-Draco is an ally of mine, would be usurper or not he's here to help too
ZD-Ya, and from what I hear you need all the help you can get, so don't worry I'll take some of the load off
DD-Do not assume that your help is appreciated, it is merely tolerated because we are in need of help, I should kill you now just for entering Dranton
ZD-Well I'm in the market for a new place to live, I thought I might as well check out the palace, seeing as there'll be a vacancy soon
DD-You dare to threaten me in my own kingdom?
ZD-Yes I do, I will threaten the fool who denied the wisdom of the Ne'Eta, who turned to Ragna to hatch their eggs, The fool that pushed so many tribes away that he could not even maintain his castle
DD-Alright, Veilsi, I will not take this harassment from a boy who believes in false tales of the NeDran, guard grab me my sword and I'll show this Hele some manners
RL-I believe you both should be shown some manners, here he is a guest in our keep, and you argue with him, without even offering dinner after the long journey? Besides, he is a friend of our son, we both know he has known too few friends, try not to ruin this one
JL-Oh jeez, Dragon mom coming out swinging, I like her
DR-You always were better with words than Father was, without you he'd have lost control years ago
RL-It is good to see you again Dezrex, come I prepared us dinner we'll discuss the job after we eat
*After Dinner*
JL-I don't know what we just ate, but whatever it was, it was great
HR-Given what I know about the culture, and reports I've read, I think it would be Dire bear
RL-Yes, I hunted and cooked it myself
ZD-Good to know there are still positive traits in the Dranturian community
DD-That's enough pleasantries, now we should discuss business
DR-Let me guess, one of the tribes is rebelling against you, and you want us to either fight them or convince them to return to subordination
