The drake, no longer being the center of attention, flits away to chase a squirrel that he sees nearby. A few moments later a small bird flies overhead, and the drake takes to the air to play a game of "fetch". Before you can move to restrain him he is gone.
As Brocc meditates on the ritual, he sees the following images:
A stout Dragonborn warrior quickly packing his saddlebag. The floor behind him is strewn with rubble and broken statues.
Another, much older Dragonborn killing a giant spider, surrounded by dense trees and foliage. The Dragonborn is heavily wounded and bloody.
A twisted, evil-looking Dragonborn with a forked tongue, holding a great spear, and wearing thick plate armor. He is handing the dagger to the same Dragonborn from the first image.
