"How is the fight with the Goblins going?" asked Maryelle as the entire roundtable sat together in the briefing room.

"No one has been able to get near the Goblin King, the entrance is swarmed by too many Goblins to get in," said Misa.

"There's also another event coming up," said Soujiro.

"The Dragon's Nest, unless the Dragon Mage is defeated we'll be overtaken by dragons before the goblins get the chance," said Isac.

"But that's not for another week," said Shiroe. Tohya then ran into the room.

"There's a dragon outside the south gate!" said Tohya, surprising everyone. A few minutes later, everyone was at the gate.

"I have been waiting for some time for someone to get here," said a man feeding the dragon.

"Is this dragon your pet?" asked Isac.

"Actually, he's a Mount Pet," said the man as the dragon turned into a small wood carving in his right hand.

"I have never heard of a Mount Pet," said Shiroe.

"That's because it was an addition to Elder Tale for the Homesteading the Noosphere expansion pack," said the man.

"How is it that you know something like that when no one here has?" asked Henrietta.

"Because I was a designer for the game," said the man.

"You mean you're one of the people responsible for the Apocalypse?!" asked Isac.

"No, I only came up with art work and event ideas, I never did any programming," said the man.

"How about we move this inside?" asked Shiroe as he noticed other players gathering around.

"Good idea, no one will want to have others listening to what I have to tell you," said the man.
