Uneasy Lies The Head

This is easily the most exciting mission so far. An actual dragon. I am one who has killed a dragon. It wasn't my goal but I am certain my name will go down in history. Avgift Kopparvingar Dharok, Dragon Slayer. It's got a ring to it I think.
 
So the mission was about heading to Kinzokolos to act as a strike force to kill the golden dragon Praxalandos as requested by the Dragonborn Emperors, Augustine and Nabunuti. I was one of many Luminaries sent to defeat the dragon and his armies. We rode the Dragon Tide, the new Luminary flagship made from a dragon. I don't know why its the "new" flagship. Don't know what happened to the old one but this ship looked amazing. It was made from the bones of a dragon. I'd love to harvest that ship but I can't. Still a fine vessel to look at though.
 
When we landed on Kinzokolos, we are transported in barrels through to the capital, presumably to avoid enemy spies. We got a good look at a ruined metallic city before we arrive in the capital. Just a smoldering ruin of despair. In the capital, Metallic and chromatic dragonborn, united to attack the dragon, stood in great numbers side by side. I remember Clovia talking about the struggles between the two but there was no sign of that here. The two emperors of the dragonborn are the ones leading the combined Luminary and Dragonborn forces. The team I was assigned to consisted of Taloc, a large orc wearing wolf skins and owns a horse names Ot'lin, Midas, a golden tielfing with fancily embroiled clothes, Abigail, a muscularly tiefling with a metallic arm and purple skin, and Mushroom, a human sorcerer with her purple outfit. Mostly new faces to me but they all seemed competent. A plethora of spells were cast before the battle, increasing vitality.
 
We were placed in a tower containing the anti-dragon weapon when the battle began. The trebuchet , containing a metallic ball with sharp metallic blades in it, fired off the weapon, slicing the gold dragon's wings off. He crashed into our tower where we faced off against the beast in the center of a firestorm as the Dragonborn army enganged the Kobolds who followed Praxalandos. The battle was hard fought. Mushroom went down in the first breath of fire but was quickly resuscitated. As the battle wore on, Taloc and Abigail went down. Magic was used to revive them but then Midas and Abigail again, fell unconscious. To make things worse, winged kobolds came down from the sky. I honestly thought I was going to die. A spell was cast upon me as I fought against the kobolds and I found myself in some unknown plane or maybe the ideal world the dragon dreamed of. Legions of slaves serving the dragon who sat upon a mountain of riches. As quickly as I arrived, I returned to the other world. The party lay defeated. Abigail's corpse lay sprawled out, Midas's chest was being dug open by the dragon, and the smoldering flames of dragon breath were present upon Mushroom and Taloc. Several kobolds were still around and they moved for me upon my return. My own injuries were not light either. My vision tipped a little for a bit but I realized then, that this is what treading the thin path was. Life balanced on an edge. I didn't know that I missed it so much.
 
With that realization, I saw my chance, dodging the kobold's wild swings, I charged the bloodied dragon, and fired bolts into it's eye. The second shot flew deep and killed it. The kobolds, seeing their master fall, fled. After that, I rushed forward to stabilize the others. As I did so, the dragon's body began to ignite, the flames being pulled into Midas' body. The dragon was quickly reduced to ashes. It must be some sort of dragon thing. First time I've killed one so I can't say if it's the norm.
 
Midas was the first to regain his consciousness. Just in time as the Emperors came as the firestorm disappeared. The Gold Dragonborn Emperor, gave us his sword Jindoboro, and the other, the White Emperor, a white wolf pelt called Alpha Viribus. An additional prize, a blue kimono with fancy emboriderment called Tori no Yoroi, as also given to us. I belive that it goes without saying but I took Alpha Viribus. My owlbear furs got absolutely tarnished in the fight. It's not a bad thing. These furs are much softer, much warmer, then one would think. They also made me feel lighter, faster, stronger. Taloc took Jindoboro and Mushroom took Tori No Yoroi. We were also paid 350 gold for our troubles. I may have spend a bit on some nets and a Kinzokolos style maul. I now have the strength and power to do things I never thought I could have before. A power I'll have to dedicated myself to use well. To be known as someone who is simply strong. That is now what I wish.
 
Living in the moment, I think I'll look to the future. There's more to be done.
