Alaric mentions that one fellow is still alive, but right afterward, Johen trots up and applies some healing magic to him. Alaric was reaching for his first aid supplies, but stands up instead and looks at Shayuri for a moment.
"Not your fault. It probably just died of shock and the final stages of Dragon Plague, what drove it insane. Couldn't handle a cure at that stage prolly. And whatever it was that the voices in Aodhan's head told him, it could've been less than precise. Prophecy and augury are often so. By blood, it might've meant your bloodline. Maybe Aodhan's just a perv and was trying to subtly suggest you start *cough* 'selling your services' to lonely dragons and bear a new generation of immunized half-dragons...." Alaric says, chuckling at the end. He ducks behind Johen right afterward to avoid any flying debris...
Glancing down at the now-revived Thayvian, Alaric says "Hey, one o' yer friends was a polymorphed dragon. Dragon Plague made 'er go berserk an' then die. Sorry fer yer loss."

Renaldo bows gracefully and then continues on his way to house Anovia's Apartments.
Valen stands and moves to Aleera's side. His eyes widen first at Alaric's humor, then at the 'sensitive' way in which he addresses th Thayvian. He shakes his head, then speaks to his friends. "A new complication... I suppose with this tournament, there is probably more than one of them in hiding around here. And some may be larger than this one..."
Shayuri stares up at Alaric with her mouth open in a perfect little 'O' of horror and offense, too shocked to even say anything. Finally she closes her mouth and eyes, and gets to her feet, visibly attempting to maintain her composure.
"What has happened here, just now, is an unspeakable tragedy," she says with a little shaking in her voice...be it from grief or anger. "A life that would last thousands of years has just been snuffed out after only a tiny fraction of its journey done."
She takes a deep breath and calms down.
"We need to find out what this...saying about cures really means. If it's true, or if it's just babble. And we need to do it quickly, before the dragon she warned us about arrives."

"I agree, but I just. don't. know. any. more." Aohdan pronounces each word with emphasis. "The voice has not been wrong yet and is usually fairly direct, but it hasn't revealed everything to me. I know that your blood, either literally, or as a euphemism for... I don't know, your family line or something is involved. Also, somehow my weird brain thing is involved, but I don't even understand that, much less how to use it with your blood."
Shayuri looks blankly at Aohdan. "Your weird...brain...thing..."
She puts her fingers to her temples and concentrates, trying to think through the assault of confusion and emotions.
"All right. Lets work this through. Researching my lineage won't be easy. My family lives far from here so messages will take time to get and send...and I don't even know what to ask him specifically yet. So, for now, lets work on the other possibility. That the blood mentioned is literal. The baby dragon did react when I cut myself...it came straight at me."
The sorceress sighs. "But it's not enough. Something else needs to happen, and you think it has to do with your brain. So."
She looks at the centaur speculatively.
"Just what is it your brain can do?"

"Nobody's cutting open my head!" Aohdan interrupts. "Oh, wait. Sorry. I don't know what it is. Sometimes my head hurts A LOT, and I see or hear things. Frequently, I hear a voice that tells me things. So far this voice hasn't been wrong. That's about all I know." Aohdan shrugs helplessly.
