Start with SPICE...

Dree's plan was to start with the SPICE agents.  Their ambrosia drink for the  plan to work, would require a huge 'Dragon belch'.  After the meeting, Nutmegg and Allspice immediately went back to their kitchen in the caves and began making a large brewing of the special ambrosia.  This batch would need to be at least 150% proof and fit only for a Wish Dragon to drink!  

While they were starting the brew, Drat began his part of the plan - being captured by Aralt!  As he stomped through the bushes around the cave that Siate' was in, he could not believe how hard getting captured was becoming.  "Either Aralt is going deaf or a Dragon's hearing is not as good as rumored," he told himself as again he made sure that he was being as loud as he could be short of hollering their names.  After a minute more, Drat finally did that.  "Aralt, are you out there somewhere?" he yelled.  Drat didn't know that Aralt was still in the caves by the Baron's Mansion looking for Dree, but Siate' heard the Troll King's minion.  Quickly she stuck her head out of the cave and invited Drat in to wait for the missing herald.  Drat trusted Dree and believed that the plan would work, but it still took a lot of courage for him to enter into a Dragon's cave by himself.  "Hopefully she is a vegetarian and only eats leafy green things," he told himself as he sat down in front of the self proclaimed Queen of the Wish Dragon. 

"Aralt is on a quick errand for me and should return shortly," Siate' said to Drat.  "While we are waiting, how about we pass the time in conversation?"

"Sure," replied Drat.  "What would you like to talk about?"

"Ahh, there are so many changes here since I had left.  Let's start with your friend, Drai’ochtluan formerly of the Wish Dragon Clan.  Do you know what he means when he says 'formerly'?"  Drat had been waiting for that question but did not expect it this quickly in the conversation (actually Drat thought of this meeting as an interrogation instead of a conversation), but answered as they had planned.  "Oh, Dree, I mean Drai'ochtluan, was the only Dragon here in the realms before you returned.  Since he was all alone, he did not think using the term 'clan' made any sense.  Now that there are more Dragons, he might start saying he is from a clan, but since he doesn't know what clans have come back, I guess he will have to choose one when his is ready." 

This answer did not make Siate' happy.  "A Dragon does not 'choose' a clan," she growled.  "A Dragon is born into a clan by what powers it possesses.  The Wish Dragon clan is the most powerful of all of the clans and the other lesser clans know this.  Either this young Dragon is a Wish Dragon or he is not."

Drat sat and stared at the mighty She-Dragon looking as to be thinking before finally speaking.  "So, if he is no longer a member of the Wish Dragon Clan, what would he be?  Is there another clan that he would join or is there another option that has only one member?"  This question made Siate' pause.  "What if..." she thought.  Finally she shook her head.  "No, he could not be," she told herself.  Looking down on Drat, she decided that this playing around must end as she was getting impatient to establish her leadership over the other Dragon's that had returned with her. 

"Can you have Dree and the other elders of the realm meet with me at sunrise in two days so that all of the Dragons can see this young Dragon and welcome him to his proper clan?" she smiled sweetly at Drat.  A smiling Dragon can be scarier than an angry one, but Drat only smiled back and asked her where they were to meet.

After discarding several locations by feigning that he did not know where they were, finally Drat offered to have Dree and the others meet Siate' at the cave where the SPICE agents had set up their kitchen.  This idea pleased the She-Dragon as it would be the perfect spot for her offer of a 'celebration' to welcome Dree back to his kin while at the same time establishing her rulership over him and the other Dragons.
