He laughed, and then suddenly looked right at the dragon. "I said I had a Balor bound to me. Do you think just ANY mage can do that and survive? When you get to our power level, you should know that the rules stop applying to us. Basics are what you should already know. Detect traps, enhanced to an epic spell. Detect magic on the same level, meant to find the tiny aura of an Astral Diamond when surrounded by thousands of tons of earth, fire, and metals, would have most auras from even natural magics showing up like a fire on a dark night. Your mountain lights up like a sunspell in the middle of a cavern in the Underdark. There was no way to avoid seeing it."<br/><br/>He stood up, and put the notepad away, before leaning on the Sivridut, completely unaffected and not impressed as the dragon aura washed over him. "I am no fool, and while I will admit to being a good lair, anyone how becomes as powerful as us does or dies, I was not lying then. Can you honestly admit to not enhancing yourself with magic to make yourself more survivable, more efficient, more perfect? If so, then you are a not a dragon, but a lizard. Less than I expected from a red. If you want, we can play this game your way."<br/><br/>He glanced over at the dragonesses, before suddenly smiling, evilly. "You really should calm down. Threatening me just means that I get angry, and then you get angry, and then we probably fight. That probably ends up with the six women dead, me having to kill all your spawn, and you left with less than ten years and having to start over. Provided we don't kill each the other or even off each other. How about we both just be civil, and not pretend to be youngsters without the sense to back up and analyze the situation?"
