"Honorable Elders, His Highness Shadowflame has commanded that Baron Thunderflame be richly rewarded, to commend Lord Russell for establishing a new Warm Enclave,"
Within the Elders' Hall, the Volcanic Minister, Lord Welchi, conveyed the will of the Shadowflame Dragon.
The Chief Executive, Earl Merlin; the Chief Steward, Lord Kunbei; the Chief Justice, Earl Osclo; the Lord of the Treasury, Lord Gerard; the Lord Seal Minister, Lord Kunqiao; and the Foreign Minister, Baron Quimby, all displayed varying expressions upon hearing this.
The three Chosen Sons, Kunslai, August, and Mel, were also looking at each other, equally perplexed.
Everyone was caught off guard and completely unprepared for the news that Russell had opened up yet another Warm Enclave—and one created by a Pseudo-Dragon at that. This meant that Russell uniquely possessed two Pseudo-Dragon companions.
It was unbelievable.
