It was a normal thirdsday as I normally meditate in the bathing room given the moisture helps me gather my water elemental mana. Travis, our eccentric light mage came barging in interrupting me which he always does when he wants something. But when I looked at him not only was his expression dire but he brought everyone with him. Susan our nature mage, Brandon our earth mage, Pete our fire mage and Henry our air mage. This could only mean trouble and with no explanation needed I simply got up and followed them.
Outside was pure chaos. People were running and I even saw guards which means whatever we are facing must be a real threat to make even our trained soldiers flee. It only took us a couple minutes to get to the drawbridge and what awaited us was unbelievably a golden dragon. Not believing my eyes I had to blink a couple times and yet no matter what I did it was just standing there waiting like a statue. On a better inspection it appears I was mistaken. It wasn't a golden dragon but a black dragon wearing golden armor. Yeah, maybe I must have been meditating way too long. That is when Travis casted a basic communication spell and asked why it was here. And to our amazement it answered with telepathy. Its voice in my head felt androgynous and its used plurals when referring to itself which must have been a dragon thing. Travis decided to show the intelligent creatures some hospitality by inviting it to take a bath. That is when I noticed the blood. It was all over it and also it didn't even look like it was damaged from whatever it fought to get here. Hopefully it wasn't human but then again if it was what could i do about it. Not even noticing we had walked back to the tower I was woken up from my stupor when Travis told me to go help it get cleaned.

To my surprise it was oddly obedient and well behaved while I showed it to our bathing room. Expecting it to shed its armor like some magical dragon it just simply walked into the pool of water and laid there. Thinking about it, how would a dragon even put on armor in the first place or maybe it had a master who put it in it. Maybe it killed its master and all that blood was theirs when it escaped and came here. Coming back to reality I notice it staring at me. Before it stood up and got out of the pool. It looked at me before asking if I could dry it off. Taking my wand out i casted the simple spell water ball while channeling all the water from the dragon's body. It looked oddly pleased and also a sign to lead it to the dining room. Never being a host before, I just led it to the table and pulled out a chair for it. Coming back to my senses I realized I just made a grave error but to my disbelief it actually jumped on it and stood hunched over on the table looking ridiculous. That is when Susan came in with the food. As soon as she saw it she started to laugh. Trying my best not to join her I bit my tongue but to my horror the dragon had already got back on the floor and looked pissed at me. That is when Susan saved my life by putting the food beside it, taking its attention off on me. One of these days my air-headedness is going to lead to my downfall.
