"I... guess so. But, still, it doesn't hurt to try."

“Sorry, you’re preaching to the devil. I’m how I am and I’m not changing it.”

heheh . . .

She cocked her head.

No . . . my . . . Tam means "heart."

Then she gestured to the crickets and the muffins and shrugged.

It seemed to fit with the theme, was all.

“Ohh… that makes sense, actually.” He drew a heart on his own paper and added the muffin inside it. “And maybe a crown for Cricket, since he’s technically nobility? Maybe I should ask him.”

After a little while, Eepy staying rather silent, they came to a place where the trees were enormous. 

It didn’t’ show, though, since the ground dipped  roght where they were planted, making them appear to be on the same level of all the regular trees. 

"What is this place?"

Rebus begins drafting some experiment proposals and hypotheses for once Balitan become familiar with the substances. 

Balitan wrote down some notes on a clipboard, then set aside his tweezers and grabbed hold of the crystal with his bare hand. Both the crystal and Balitan began glowing softly.

Xino's description of Prismitite is rather vague. Do you know much about it? 

I know some.

The Dreamsmith walked into the room with Onyx and Tull. "Hello! The trial seems to be stalled, so I figured I would come visit you. I brought snacks this time!" He held up a plate full of cookies.

As the Machination is an organization and not an entity, the letter is sent to the Ghost, who leads it. A shadowy figure is projected to the group, and stands there, speaking in a deep and gravelly voice. “I would be happy to speak of business. What do you wish us to do?” 

Sequence jumped at the figure's sudden appearance, nearly toppling over on her unsteady feet. "Goodness! You certainly gave me a fright..." Sequence laughed, giving an elegant bow. "Hello! I assume you're the Machination? Or... to my understanding, the Machination is lots of beings, so perhaps you represent them?"

Rebus watches, intrigued. He briefly considers enacting the teleportation shielding right then, but decides to watch and wait.

“Yes. I am the Ghost, and I lead it.”

"This is where the dragons are," she whispered. "Well, some of them. The ones that look like me. They're watching us."

Tull frowned at him, unable to ascertain his identity. “And you are?”

How many/large are the dragons here? what would he be able to pick up via his infrared vision?

ohh I forgot about that 

they're varying sizes, but most of them are very large (around 2 stories tall). Few are as small as Eepy, or even close.

Cool thanks.

Cadewyn stepped forward. At least its not as bad as the cave last time. He thought.

There were dragons there all right. Huge ones, appearing to his Dragon eye. So large he had mistaken them for part of the background before.

He dropped his sword to the ground and kicked it away. "Who are you? And why have none of you helped Eepy!?" he took another step. "I found her at the edge of the woods, where other humans and creatures were appearing. And none of you were there. Why!?"

One of the large ones dropped from the tree to the ground. "You make a mistake," she rumbled. "None of us are responsible for this one. If she wishes to run off, that is not our burden."

"Then whose is it?" Casey stepped right up to the dragon, staring her in the eyes. " Who will help the orphaned child? Who will save the injured victem? Who of you will show you care?"

She snorted, hot air blowing on his face. "We don't care. Do you know nothing about dragons, human?" 

"Is ok," Eepy whispered in his ear. "I don't mind."

She lashed her tail once. "It's easy to be all honorable when you have a hoard of your own," she growled. "Animals to hunt, a family to protect. It's easy until it all gets taken away. Why do you think I'm here, boy? Why do you think any of us are here?"

"I don't have most of those, and I've found that those who do aren't honorable. I don't know why you're here, so tell me."

Eepy sucked in a breath. "Be careful," she whispered.

The dragon growled in the back of her throat. "Get out of here, human."

She made a face and shook her head. Cricket probably wouldn't like that very much.

The dragon growled in the back of her throat. "Get out of here, human." 

"Just. Tell. Me." He spoke with the same grinding hiss he had used on the snake earlier, barely sounding human, his eye flaring a brighter blue, like a star in the shadows of the trees.

She sneered. "Cute. You know, I could suck all your magic out of you in half a second and leave you shriveled on the ground like a nightadder."

"The humans got her family, too," Eepy whispered.

"Look, I don't really care if you kill me. I'll avoid it so I can help Eepy, but that's basically the only reason. Just tell me whatever's going on instead of hiding your precious secrets and floundering in this selfish state."

Eepy thinks he's a girl?

Talking about the dragon, I think.

no, she's talking about the dragon 

She rolled her eyes. "No."  Then, almost faster than he could see, she flashed back to her tree, swarming up the trunk and nesting in the branches.

Bat drew a shell, then the flower she'd given him. He frowned, tapping the pencil against his chin. Shell maybe, if he spiced it up a bit.

She tilted her head so she could see his paper better, then tapped the flower with her pencil and shot him a curious look.

"Fine. I'll still fond out. I can't do much, but I'm good at killing people. I'm going to find whoever sent the ones that killed Eepy's family and kill them. Somewhere along the way, I'll find out the details of what happened. But I will kill those who caused her pain." He turned away, back to all of them. "That's the only thing left I'm good for."
