"Dragon, do you accept my proposal? Will you Bind with me and lend me your strength so I may cast the ancient spells of necromancy?"
The silence seemed to stretch forever. Finally the dragon opened his huge maw. Albel tensed.
"Yes."
Stunned, Albel bowed. "Thank you, Marquis."
The dragon chuckled. "You haven't changed one bit."
"No?"
"No. You are still the same reckless fool you were back then."
"Then why accept the Binding?"
The dragon hmphed, almost knocking Albel to the floor. "I was feeling generous."
Albel smiled. "Well, then, I must thank you again."
"Enough. Now, tell me. What are you planning to use as the Source?"
The knight coughed uncomfortably and felt his cheeks warm. "I…haven't got that far yet."
The dragon snorted. "Hah! See what I mean? See! Just as reckless, just as impulsive."
Albel scowled. "For your information, I did have something in mind. I'm just wondering if it'll be enough."
"What is it?"
"The Sacred Orb of Aquaria."
"WHAT!" Albel fell to the ground, clutching his head. The noise! "YOU ARE UNSURE IF IT HAS ENOUGH POWER! FOOLISH HUMAN! IT HAS FAR MORE THAN EVEN I!"
The dragon seemed to notice how much pain he was causing the Glyphian, so he lowered his voice again. "Sorry about that. Caught me by surprise. Honestly, though. Not enough power? Madness."
"I'm gland that you approve…" Albel said dryly.
"Yes, well, you know. So, how are you going to get it? I heard it was moved."
"It was."
"Where to?"
"The Mosel Ruins."
"WHAAT! AND JUST HOW ARE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING THERE!"
Albel winced. "Well, if you must know, I was planning on walking. We don't all have wings, you know..."
"Oh." The dragon seemed put out. "Very well, then. I shall sit here and await your return. Do hurry."
"You seem...dissapointed."
"Hmm? No, nothing. It's not like I was going to offer you a lift or anything..."
The young man shrugged and walked off. "Whatever…"
