Quickly, he sits upon her back.<br/><br/>"This is Hades, not some other Lower Plane. You don't get nice people here. Knights in shining armour, only in your dreams. But this place has only one kind of dream. Nightmares. Reveal yourself, my friend!"<br/><br/>The voice that called out before certainly does not match the creature that shimmers into view. A red and black scaled dragon, with a row of pointed spines traveling down its back, and a long, serpentine neck. It is about twenty feet tall, with enormous wings and very sharp claws. Clouds of purple and green smoke pour from its nostrils.<br/><br/><strong>"I see you brought us a tasty treat, Dresden. I hope Scourge gets back soon, she'll love this toy."</strong><br/><br/>"Oh, don't you worry, I think we can start without her. Now listen here, elf. You have two options now. Submit, and let us have our fun, in which case we'll grow bored soon enough and send you on your pathetic way. Or fight us, make it exciting, and we'll play with you for a lot longer, I guarantee."
