Blaise took a breath, then went forward to meet the emerging dragon, his sword at the ready though he hoped he wold not need it, hoped the dragon would take the deal, and then he would be sure his siter's life was safe even though it would cost him his own.<br/>As soon as he saw it, he stopped, in far and awe, but he mustn't lose his courage. "Dragon," he called again, "I am Blaise son of Ryni, the girl offered to you as sacrafice is my sister. Please, I pray you, take me as instead, sate your hunger with my flesh but please let her go, she doesn't deserve this fate. I will lay down my arms and willingly fall prey to you if you agree to this deal and realise her, if not then I will fight to the death to save her. What do you say?" His words were brave and clear, ringing with his determination, though he was terrified as he beheld the dragon.
