But as the truck stopped the woman who seemed to be in the hollowed out mind of the metal dragon seemed distraught.<br/><br/>Casie approached lowering her pipe. It had been ages seeing any displaying that emotions.<br/><br/><strong>"She seems ... distressed. Perhaps being part of its mind means if we hurt it we hurt her also."<br/></strong><br/>The warrior woman jumped off the bonnet, miraculously without denting it. The archer stopped firing, feeling they have feld the beast.<br/><strong><br/>"Be careful priestess ... listen it still it grows angrily, puffing smoke waiting for you to get close before eating you with such metallic teeth. A trap it is lulling you no doubt"</strong>Tasha pointed to the vertically-styled air-intake of the truck's front.<br/><br/><strong>"I have faith in the goddesses something more is at foot."</strong>The priestess ventured closer...<br/>then hoped on the footstep such that she could be eye level with the occupants. A glass window separating them<br/><br/><strong>"It eye's to see into its soul is but glass"</strong>she said knocking on it<strong> "but not colored. How can such glass be set without coloring or without spool swirls ???"</strong><br/><br/>She then peered in<strong> "A lady and a Piper are inside. Strange devices surround them."</strong>she talked to her friends.<br/><strong>"The woman seems distraught ... like we have ... perhaps hurt a sacred beast of her tribe."<br/></strong><br/>Depheree looked annoyed<strong> "Perhaps we should have waited for the dragon to attack first. Perhaps it is a sacred beast ... ask them. If it is true we will make it up for them, nurture it back to health and give gifts to balance karma of the gods"</strong><br/><br/>Casie nodded then talked to the driver through the glass yelling much louder than necessary to be heard.<br/><strong><br/>"If your beast is sacred to your village, we offer our humble sorry's for hurting so without provocation,<br/>but such roaring surely be a battle cry ! Is the iron dragon sacred to your gods and its groans songs not of battle but of a chant of protection for your beliefs ?"<br/></strong>
