[Orb] 1st Great Heat's Beginning. Midmorning.

[golden_moon]

[A new face in the orb. Hair falls into her face, and she pushes it back, lowering the orb, and showing the top of a light, blue dress. Behind her, some might recognize a side room in the castle. She presses her lips together, and then looks into the Orb.]

Well. What a fine place to find myself, isn't it? I ain't been inside a castle for a long time, and now I get to live in one. Can't really complain about that, now, can I?

[The hint of a smile touches her lips, and she glances off to the side.]

The older gentleman who greeted me had quite a story about the state of things, and the others brought in to do something about it.

[Without hurry, her gaze settles back onto the orb.]

I'll have to admit, whatever I might have seen, I still ain't sure I'm really scared at the thought of a few weeds. How bad is it, really?

Dangerous? No, I don't believe so, I haven't heard of any trouble from them and they are young. As for where they're staying, I'm not sure where their owner is.

Familiar with dragons?

[golden_moon]

Well...fair enough.

No, thank goodness. They're not native to the new world.

[shadedsunlight]

Not native... to imply they were brought in from another world, otherwise made, or you've simply heard of them from other sources? [or worlds.]

[golden_moon]

Oh, nothing like that. Where I'm from, the major landmasses in the Western Hemisphere are generally called the new world; rather arrogantly presupposing that the Europeans who claimed to have discovered it had greater value than the locals, but since most of the damn world speaks either English or Spanish, I suppose there's a kernel of painful truth in there.

I think there are seven or eight species. A couple European, one in Africa, all kinds all across Asia. Nothing in the Americas, though. I hear they are foul, nasty things prone to eating folk, at least they are back home.

[A world with dragons? There's something Helios would be interested in.] What about other sorts of creatures? Gryphons? Unicorns?

[golden_moon]

Extinct since the Napoleonic wars, and a complete myth, though people keep looking for both of them.
