Ancalagon snorts at her first comment , and says, "Those whipping where not for you, but your former guards to understand exactly what was at stake. I have waited too long for this opportunity, and will not let it slip by me. You have a chance to either claim a bit of my destiny with me, or die and be cast aside along the way.<br/><br/>Pick now, and Tiamet help you if you try to harm anyone under my protection. I do not like having to be a butcher, but if that gets me closer to my goal, and removes an obstacle, so be it."<br/><br/>He gives her a look of pure venom, almost daring her to try him on his claim about removing her. He continues before she can respond, "I am offering you a chance to be treated like a person, instead of a slave. I am going to need every Tiamet blessed dragon and dragon kin I can get my hands on before I am done, and you have a better chance than most of surviving due to your combat abilities. But if you do cross me, Shyrath will be given a gift, and told to do with you as she wishes. And you already know what she will do to you, I believe."
