Ishibil narrowed his eyes as he flew back to his den. There were two humans standing outside it, the black-haired one standing by the ledge, gazing out at the scenery while the yellow-haired one was closer to the entrance. They weren't dressed in the Union's white, both in black instead, and neither of them seemed interested in entering his den.
It was similar to how he had first met Tao and Takeo.
"Don't attack?" Takeo asked from his back.
"Yeah," Ishibil said, nodding. Maybe this pair would be like Tao and Takeo as well.
As they approached, the wind changed, carrying the humans' scent up to him and Ishibil flared his wings, halting his descent. He heard Tao and Takeo's noises of surprise, but they'd practiced enough times with the saddle Ishibil wasn't worried about them falling off.
One of them smelled of magic. Not like a mage, magic intertwining their scent, but one of them smelled of such concentrated magic, it was if they were magic, rather than a human who wielded it.
He circled above the pair, unsure if he should approach. If the humans (?) had wanted to attack them, the pair should have started already.
"Ishibil?"
If Tao and Takeo were hurt because he made a mistake...
The dark-haired one looked up at him and they locked gazes. He could feel magic curling around his brain, and... The magic had felt powerful enough to crush the entire mountain, but safe. The pair meant no harm. Not to him, or his hoard.
He drifted down and landed, tucking his wings away.
Being closer didn't help to clear up the dark-haired one's scent, but he could smell the other one now, and they smelled like a human. They were magicless, but there was something else there, a tang Ishibil couldn't place. There was also the faint, old scent of their own blood.
The yellow-haired human stepped closer to them, and gave him a short bow. "Apologies for the lack of warning for our arrival, but I'd heard some rumours that the Union was interested in...collecting information from this particular forest. This is Cadis Etrama di Raizel," the human said, and indicating the other with a sweep of his hand, "and I'm Frankenstein."
Both Tao and Takeo stiffened in the saddle and Ishibil tensed. What was wrong?
"The same Frankenstein that kidnaps people and cuts their bodies apart…?" Tao asked, and Ishibil backed up a step, ready to fly again. The black-haired one must have-
"I see you've heard the Union's lies about me," Frankenstein said, their voice calm. "They're rather fond of doing that to those they can't control."
Ishibil exhaled, feeling Tao and Takeo relax.
"People they can't control?" Tao repeated. "What did you do?"
At the question, Frankenstein smiled. "I stole something of theirs that they had been working on for a long time and had caused tremendous strife to create. Since they couldn't reach me, they made sure that I wouldn't be able to gather allies easily."
"And that's why you're here?" Ishibil asked, glancing between Frankenstein and Cadis Etrama di Raizel. Was it Cadis Etrama di Raizel they'd stolen from the Union? That amount of magic wasn't normal even for a dragon, let alone a human.
"I was curious about what had garnered the Union's interest," Frankenstein said, nodding, "and would like to offer my assistance, if you wish it."
Ishibil blinked, shuffling his wings. They had done fine by themselves so far, but here had been a few times where it had been close; the Union had perfected their poison further, needing even less to affect him for longer.
Neither Tao or Takeo said anything, and Ishibil turned his head to look at them over his shoulder. He thought they would have by now.
"It's your stuff," Tao said, looking at him, and Ishibil heard the small pause before 'stuff', Tao changing the word just before he said it. Ishibil's broodmates. If he trusted wrong and his broodmates were dug up because of it...
"We'll go with whatever you chose," Takeo added, and Ishibil sighed, wanting to nuzzle their hair.
"That's not the only thing I'm worried about," Ishibil said. "It affects you too." He didn't want his hoard hurt.
"Well, if the Union's mad at him, that has to be a good thing, right?" Tao said with chuckle, patting Ishibil. Takeo made an agreeing sound.
Ishibil lifted his head to consider the other two again. Neither of them had moved from where they were to attack, and he trusted his senses far more than the Union's words: Frankenstein wasn't drowning in human blood, and the magic Cadis Etrama di Raizel wielded wouldn't be used to hurt him or his hoard.
"We're willing to accept your assistance," Ishibil said.
The last time two humans came to Ishibil's den, he gained a hoard. Who knew what would happen this time.
