Alke - Session 91

Journal

The plan is to hatch these eggs. And for these baby dragons, wise but ultimately defenseless, to be dragged into this war alongside us. Yet, somehow I seem to be the only one worried about this prospect?! The original dragonlords didn’t manage to defeat the dragons with the aid of five full grown dragons and we will… without! This is just utter madness. I am hesitant about writing this sentiment down, but our odds of success here are minimal and no amount of ‘impossible feats’ we achieve will convince me otherwise. I for one just seem to be stumbling from one calamity to another. First that silly decision to jump into the water, then disguising myself as the lizard tribe's queen. I am not made for this...

And I really don’t want to be responsible for more creature’s lives. Especially those both noble and utterly innocent. No. I have enough people on my conscience already. Yes, my words and my thoughts are also selfish. But does that sliver of selfishness in my motivation matter if it means protecting these creatures?

It has taken me a long time to accept that Loreus made an informed decision choosing to be here with me and even that is surely biased by the sense of joy he brings me every moment he is around. Yet, I still worry for him and he is quite adept at defending himself in quite creative ways. I don’t think I’ll accept putting these baby dragons in danger anytime soon. If only we could have an alternative to them… one that could be repaired or rebuilt.
