[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5359099, member: 60965"] Session 31, Part 18 “That's the last of them,” Keeper said as the room dimmed again. “He makes the extinction of a race of robots it sound like he's just found a pretty rock,” Kormak said. Bail walked over to the light-image of Felskein and squinted at a little pillar of rock with a tower on it to the “north” of the Crystal Towers. “Is this the Ashen Tower?” Suniel nodded. "That's it, from there Thessalock terrorizes the whole-” They watched as Keeper traced his finger from the Crystal Towers the the Ashen Tower and a second later, what had been a towering pinnacle of rock with a black tower atop it was no more than a little nub of stone jutting from the Endless Sands. Bail, Kormak, and Suniel stared and blinked at the spot for half a minute. “I guess that solves that,” Kormak said. “Harold will be thrilled – wherever he is right now...” *** Harold [I]stepped[/I] to the rooftop, wondering what the tumult outside was about.

The immense dragon landed heavily on the roof of Hadral's palace, collapsing a several floors with its weight, then tearing up a whole wing of the place as it launched back into the air, roaring and blasting a small white dragon into a rapidly-dissolving swirl of dust.
