Character(s): Alucard, Trevor, Sypha + [OPEN!] Status: Open Location(s): The Free City -> Lake Atéleio Date(s) June 17 onward About: Dealing with the new and stranger things along the lake Warnings: To be added.
[ Thinking lead to overthinking, and Shura was a woman of action. For all she was trying to figure things out, she also knows she’s way in over her head. She frowns, leaning back against the brick wall of the alley. This guy knew plenty enough about things; maybe it would be worth asking him about that message Strange got. ]
You seem to know somethin’ about the old kingdom. You know anything about Vronti’s firstborn?
[Alucard pauses. In all of his dragon hating, he still knows the history. It takes only a moment for him to recall it.]
There were twelve in the original egg clutch, they were set perched over Atrómitos, but she later set four over each of the three major kingdoms at the time - the three key cities now. In turn her own offpsring gave blood to those in the kingdom Vronti herself deemed worth of such an act, ensuring that madness would follow. The bloodline's continuation was a key thing that bound Vronti, her brood, and the kingdoms together, for all the good it eventually did.
Not at the very start of the arrangement, but she had her eyes set on the future so far as the histories make clear. Dragons were only starting to gain the position among the people that they'd eventually rise to, and she was instrumental in creating that system.
What isn't recorded is how her offspring felt about it.
[The history of the relationship between dragons and the civilized races hadn't ever been something Shura paid much mind to before. The advantage of being a knight was that she had easy access to nerds who liked studying that kind of thing. But all of her old connections were long gone now.]
What a pain. Anything about that's probably been destroyed.
There may be materials in private hands, but I'm not sure whose. [Alucard would know a century ago. It was his job, helping collectors get such things.]

She was an old fart when she set that up, wasn't she?

You're asking for a reason. What is it?
