Flashfire: "Well, I would have..."

Earth Dragon: "That's it, eh? Some hero you are!"

Storm Dragon: "Looks like this is one storm you won't be weathering!"

Forest Dragon: "Oh, I see where this is going..."


 * Flashfire sighs.

Flashfire: "Right... Forest Dragon, you're the only person I can think of who can resist or negate any combination of those things. So..."


 * The other dragons grumble, rather disappointed.

Forest Dragon: "I want out."

Flashfire: "Hold on. You're still here for a reason."

Forest Dragon: "It sounds to me like you don't have much of a choice."

Flashfire: "Well-"

Fire Dragon: "Actually... There is another way. Remember how you got my powers? I can give you his too. All you need to do is release us."

Ice Dragon: "And why stop there?"

Flashfire: "Eh?! No way! Letting one of you out is bad enough!"

Forest Dragon: "Do not ruin this for me, Mel!"

Fire Dragon: "You can't blame me for trying."

Forest Dragon: "I can-"

Flashfire: "LISTEN!... None of you are getting out if the apocalypse arrives before we reach an agreement!"


 * The dragon lords grumble to themselves again.

Flashfire: "Forest Dragon, if you come with me and fight this threat..."

Forest Dragon: "Then my prison will be forever broken."

Flashfire: "Remember your big bro?"

Forest Dragon: "Point taken."

Flashfire: "Fight alongside me, and I'll let you return to your jungle. Try to cross me, and you'll join your brother in the lifeless void of the Phantom Zone. Understand?"

Forest Dragon: "Well, when you put it like that... Oh, bother. You know me too well."

Flashfire: "Glad to hear it."


 * She raises a fist and smashes the huge emerald embedded in the fifth tablet.


 * A series of hoofsteps sounds in the corridor. King Aspen proceeds into the throne room's confines.

King Aspen: "Blackthorn, you worrywart!  Was that a prayer I heard just now? Well, overdue though I may be, you'll find that I am thoroughly unharmed. I trust you've kept the place tidy in my absence...?"
