"Nice to meet you," says the dragon. "Certainly infinitely superior to the last time I was involved in events of great concern to the Wild Magic. What's the story with this demon?"

"One of my ancestors a long long time ago was captured and tortured by the Endarkened, and for some reason there was another Endarkened there also being tortured by the rest of the Endarkened, and they helped each other escape Shadow Mountain and then she never saw him again."

"And then he Bonded to a dragon and flew to a remote island and spent thousands of years living there with his Bondmate, completely cut off from the rest of the world?"

"Apparently!"

"Is this a male or a female dragon? The genealogists are hoping for male."
