Illeelo led The Order of the Golden Eyed through the inner labyrinth of the castle of Jangar. As he led them he came to think of how he got in this mess.
It happened long ago, on a diplomatic mission with the Ajarhad. He was going with his brother, Kertith. The mission was mainly on aardvark trade, but the relations between the dragon and the Ajarhad were weakening, and there were rumors of another war between the elveniods and the dragons. They landed ashore in southern Murton after an accident with some human fishermen with anti dragon weapons.
"How were we supposed to know they had balistas? We have better tell Rubiellin that they are prepared for another war." he whispered to Kertith.
They wore vests to show that they were messengers, so they had no problems from the Ajarhad and other inhabitants of the Kingdom of Ice, though there was harsh stare, and some readied their bows. They soon arrived at the Palace of Ice. King Thorrad came out to meet them with his guards and translator. After their first negations they learned it was environmentalist who were hurting the aardvark trade. They spent the night there and Ileelo met the princess, Echo. She was about 12 years old then. That night Kertith snuck out the room. Illeelo heard him and began to follow. Eventually he found himself in the council chamber, with the council dead. He then rushed to the kings chamber but was to late to save him. He now knew what was going on.
"Cyrus, I summon you!" he shouted. A wisp of smoke floated in and it materialized into the demon himself..
"What do you want, Ileelo?" the demon whispered.
" If you prevent him from hurting the princess and any others I will be your."
"So be it."
Later war broke out, and Kertith was exiled, now knlon only as Scourge.
Illeelo turned into a room. It was filled with a cold liquid.
"Its mango juice!" exclaimed Talmera.
Dragon blood has many properties, one is that in certian dragon it explodes when mixed with mango juice.
Illeelo slit his own throat.

Chapter 6: "Captain's" log (Emirella)
I got bored and made a mental "captain's" log.
April 24, Year of blood: After resting for five hours we set for to western sea heading at a speed of 16.8 zots (14/lph) southwest for a little over an hour and than we reached the sea of Walla-Weepu. We stopped for a snack of catoblepas and headed over the sea at a full 17 zots. After two hours we spotted a island and landed. After lighting the fire and eating, a knight named Sigurd told of his epic battle with the voyager of seven planes, his healing by a damsel named Valerina, and Valerina's disappearance.Midway through I got bored and fell asleep.
April 25, Year of blood: I dreamed of a knight in black armor. On his chest was a blinking red eye. His garments were made of midnight. He was floating in the air over a black vortex. A phantom handed him something. Then the dream ended.
After I awake everyone reprimanded me for oversleeping.There was also no breakfast remaining.We than set off at an exhausting pace of 18 zots (15/lph). After three exhausting hours we saw the Kracken. The sea demon had quarter league long tentacles and spit acid. We could not pass it and it could move impossibly fast. It was coming in for a feast. It spew acid and some of it hit me. Oh how it burned. Geraldeier than attacked the beast. It shrieked, shot acid at Geraldeier and wrapped a tentacle around Woort. Geraldeier attacked the tentacle and it let go. More joined the fight and we managed the get it to retreat. We were than forced to land on the next island we saw due to are wounds.It was about a league from the Kracken. . Sigurd was about to continue his tale when Anora interrupted and made up a horrible tale about her nonexistent fight with with the voyager and her getting healed by a nonexistent knight who than disappeared. Sigurd turn red, or at least his eyes did because its hard to tell if red dragons turn red. We than slept
May 1, Year of blood: We had to stay for several days waiting tell we were in flying condition. The flight to the island did not leave us well. All the while we had to listen to boring stories.
After awhile we took flight.Geraldeier made us go at a impossible speed of 21 zots to make up for lost time.After flying for an eternity we stopped to rest then went back to flying. After a second eternity we stopped on a island and stayed there.
May 2, Year of blood, I dreamed of the black knight again.This time he was engaged in battle with a man in gold armor with a sword covered in runes. The black knight yelled "How can you care for savage beasts, Freek-o-Da-lama?" then he let out a laugh the sounded like a cross between a hyena, a cicada, and a banshee."There only purpose is there blood,"he continued. Then Freeko spoke "Voyager, prepare to bleed and die, for this will end in your blood." The voyager of seven planes spoke again "Than prepare to be slaughtered like I slay them!"With one of his blades he held back Da -llamas sword and impaled him with the other. I woke up and screamed. So did everyone else. When they realized there was no danger they began to question the kings decision to let his youngest daughter go to Grendaw.
The rest of the log is to boring or embarrassing to reveal the public. We arrived on May 15.

Chapter 4 : Cyrus
"Can we just sack the place now?"
Mulfag was such an arrogant, ignorant, and even rebellious dragon.The only reason Cyrus didn't fry and eat him was that he had fearsome looks and attitude and enough brute strength to rival Rubiellin himself. With red scales, a massive size, empty black eyes , and built in adamant plating he was a frightening sight.
"We have to wait for Illeelo to tell us when the castle is about empty, or else the plan will fail and you might be killed," said Valerina.She was a bit too gentle for Cyrus's liking but she was beautiful and could settle any disputes among them.Few dragon have golden scales and far fewer have golden scales and lavender eyes.
"I'm starving" complained Scourge. Cyrus had no idea why he left he scrawny flea bag alive.He was a waste of food and did nothing but complain.A yellow hat might be a good improvement.Oh, he was their thief and assassin, so that was why he's still alive.
"Shut up, you lump of ork carrion. We came here to rule Jangar, not to get a meal," snapped Talmera. Cyrus liked her more than the others. With lavender scales and sky blue eyes she was also beautiful,but not as much as Valerina.
A gray figure appeared in the distance. It came near and landed. Then it spoke.
"Dark Lord, we are ready."
Cyrus turned his scales black from their natural turquoise.However he could not change his eye color. They would remain the golden color that chilled blood and danced in young drakelings nightmares. He was the only dragon with golden eyes.
The group leaped from were they were perched and Illeelo lead the way.They took a right turn , gathered speed and took off. After a few hours the fortress of the dragon king came into sight.They flew right past it for they were going to enter a secret passage.
Cyrus spotted a pair of guards. He sent Mulfag and Talmera to dispatch them. Mulfag swooped down and ate one of them in one bite. The other one was about to let out a scream but Talmera descended behind him and tore out his throat.She than collected the spilled blood.
Cyrus sent Scourge to scout the area.When he returned he told them the coast was clear.They then continued to the passages entrance.
The entrance was a hidden by a boulder that Mulfag easily removed.The party (minus Mulfag because of his size) then entered the hole that was reveled. Inside they found themselves in a long tunnel. After following it for about a thousand meters they came to two branches off the main tunnel and Illeelo lead them done the right tunnel.
After a few such crossings Cyrus told them to stop.He than sent Scourge to check what lay around the bend.They then heard a thump and a thud and Scourge returned, saying the coast was clear. They went around the corner and saw the body of a fallen guard.
They continued on without too much guard slaying, five more guards to be exact. Two more were unwarily clubbed by Scourge, two had their throats slit by Talmera, and one had to be gored by Cyrus himself.
Eventually they made it to a door.Scourge opened it a crack,poked his head through, and screamed. Then there was a thud and a thump, this time it was Scourges body that made the thump.The door opened and in the doorway was a great knight. He charged at Valerina and stuck the the side of her head, knocking her unconscious. He than prepared to due the same to Cyrus but stopped when he saw the golden eyes.He than let out a roar and charged at full tilt.Before he could make it Cyrus let out a jet of wicked green flames and torched him. When Scorge and Valerina recovered the group wet through the door.

Chapter 1: The Hunt for the Thousand Tears (Emirella)
My name is Emirella. I one of the daughters of the dragon king Rubiellin. My scales are white and my eyes are green, hence the name.The following tale tells of the hunt for the thousand tears,the befriending of the human Freek-o-Da-Llama, my slaying of the dragon-fiend Cyrus, and much more.
Illeelo the messenger came to my room. Even though he was a pitiful dragon I miss him. He had gray scales and blue eyes.His head was large and his body small.He was a coward but he stood up in the time of greatest need. He told me the my father called for me and I must go to the great hall.
On my way there I noticed several of the knights and my brother Geraldeier were also going to the hall. Geraldeier is a green dragon with gray eyes. He is as brave as two lions, five orks, ten bulls, fifty mice and one hundred Illeelos. The also received a message from Rubiellin.
When we arrived at the great hall we saw that all the children of the king and a great number of knights. Then the king entered. Rubiellin is a massive black dragon with red eyes. His magnificence is to great for words.
" The Thousand Tears has been stolen. I have called all you to form a series of search parties to find it. If any of you feel unworthy to take upon this task then he or she must leave now. It will be a dangerous task .Assemble yourselves into three groups."
The Thousand tears is a multi-colored gem of great power. It got its name from its bloody history that I'd be happy to tell you later. It was in the possession of the dragons but telling who's possession it is in now will spoil the surprise.
Those of us who were not cowards assembled into three groups. In my group was Geesha, Edwin,Geraldeier,Saphiren,Anora,Philburt, Woort, and several Knights who I did not know the names.
"The group on the left goes to Murton, the group in the middle stays is Alswen, and the final group goes to Grendaw."
He than gave us his blessing and we set off for Grendaw.
