And along with the impending doom he faces, he also experiences his and others' pasts through bonding with them. Broken dragon families, hurting siren royalty, and thieving orcs will be met and their pasts will unfold to create a bigger picture within a ripped paper.

"This is unsettling." Draca mumbles on Scott's right, he's the closest to the 'Lair'. 


"How bad can a lair be?" Grayson queries. 


"Considering all the enemies I've faced, do you think this lair can be anything but bad?" Scott questions in return. 


"I shouldn't have asked." Grayson looks away. 


"There's a possibility it's not a normal lair.. What if it's actually for an alchemist or witch?" Draca's eyes sparkle. 


"That is possible but I highly doubt it." Scott shakes his head.
