" A DRAGON is talking to me!" Dulbbe thought as he still had not said anything being too surprised to answer the Dragon head in the crystal ball. So again the Dragon asked, "What knowledge do you seek?" While in Dulbbe's head the first thing that came to mind was "Who are you?" and were also the first words out of his mouth before he could think of a better question. |
"I am the Crystal of Knowledge. All that is the Ancient Dragon's Lore, I possess," it answered. "What knowledge do you seek?" Now that the shock had worn off, Dulbbe realized this was the answer to his problem! "What is on the tablet that a Borrower has found?" he asked. The eyes of the Dragon lit up briefly and then returned to normal as it responded. "Your question is incomplete. Specify the name of the tablet or hold it up to the crystal to be identified." |
On the top of the list was his one true desire, to have Ffion notice him as something more than just another person in the castle staff. Thinking about what the orb had said about it possessing all of the ancient Dragon lore, an idea started to form. Once again he looked into the crystal and waited for the Orb to ask what is it that he wanted, he had made his decision. "I seek the ability to be able to read ancient Dragon script."
The eyes of the Dragon again lit up briefly and shortly returned to normal as it responded. "Your request is accepted. We will begin with the alphabet and correlations of the written symbol, thought, and meanings." Dulbbe realized at that moment he was going to need something else. "I am going to need my magical brew called 'coffee'... Lots and lots of coffee!" |
