Gameplay - The Dragon Who Asked Too Much

Mavis finds out that the town is indeed a homophone of Morning and Mourning, and means both to them. The great fireplace diorama in the inn is a testament to the sadness of the dawn, but more so of a legend. It seems that long ago, all of the children went missing and were never found alive. Their bodies were found high in a hill, apparently having committed suicide by drinking sleeping draughts to excess, for abuses at the hands of one of the town elders. The elder was tried and executed for his crimes, but even though all those involved are long dead, the town has never recovered from the sense of loss and their own blindness to what had been occurring. The anniversary of that grim discovery is celebrated as a time of quiet reflection.

That night, dreams come. You don't remember them, only that you awake, freezing. Your rooms are ice cold, despite the coals glowing in the fireplaces. Your breath fogs and you feel it, a dark presence, there behind you! No. Outside? You look, your eyes drawn to the east.

Somewhere a woman screams, heartbreaking sorrow. And the echo of laughter in the night sky. A flicker of light on some hillside. Impossibly far away, it is just a tiny blur, but you know. How could you not? Albionii, the unicorn. It beckons.

Do you refuse?
