Instant Sobriety...

Now while Rose was learning more about her "selves", we find out that Wysps are not brave creatures - even in large groups.  They tend to push each other forward so that the weakest one is usually the one who is standing in the front between the other Wysps and whatever is threatening them.  So, when a very large and irritated Dragon has its head only inches away from the bottle in which three intoxicated Wysps are trapped in, it is amazing how fast they sober up and start pushing. 

Aralt had already set the bottle down before the upset Siate' and had stepped back to watch the Wysps squirm.  "Let them bare the brunt of her frustration for once," he thought as he watched the Wysps pushing and shoving each other in the cramped space of the bottle.  It did not take long before Siate' lost all composure!

​"I told you to find someone that could tell us where the young Dragon is hiding and you bring me these!" she growled at Aralt.  "I hate Wysps... they are annoying and don't taste good at all," she told the Herald.  Realizing that he was going to need to explain quickly before her temper flared even more, Aralt quickly told her about how he could not find anyone else and "these Wysps were the ones that helped me find the caves below the Baron's Mansion and helped me find the portal to you".  Siate' stared at the Herald for a minute before turning her gaze to the bottle with the trapped Wysps.

 
​Somehow two of the Wysps had managed to push the third against the glass closest to where the Dragon was and were holding him there as it tried to slip out of their hands.  "Now you will tell me what I want to know or we will see if my long absence has dulled my taste buds and I find that the taste of Wysps are to my liking," Siate' said to the Wysps in her coldest voice. 

The three Wysps instantly started talking... about anything and everything they had ever done, seen, or could accuse others of doing.  It didn't take long for the Dragon to lose her temper again and she growled for them to 'SHUT UP'.  Instantly the Wysps were silent as they kept elbowing each other and trying to push one another to the front of the bottle where the Dragon's head was again only inches away.

"I will be more specific for your little minds to understand," she growled.  "I want to know where the young Dragon Drai’ochtluan, but you probably would know him as Dree, lives."  Instantly the three Wysps starting talking... all at once.  "You," growled Siate' pointing at one of the three Wysps, "tell me where he lives."  The other two Wysps instantly stopped talking and shoved the one the Dragon was pointing at to the front.  Gulping very loudly, the Wysp told her about the caves under the Baron's Mansion.  "The best way is to go to the cave entrances by the big water as we have seen him come and go several times from there." 

Glancing over at Aralt was all she needed for him to understand that he was to go there and search for the young Dragon.  "And take these things with you," she told him as he started to leave the cave as she turned and started down another tunnel muttering, "now I remember why I hate Wysps..."
