She comes, but not because she is impressed. Not because he deserves anything that he asks for, but instead because she cannot resist putting him back in his place. After all, she deserves a little fun now and again, doesn’t she? They are better than they once were, but they are not good. In the end, their nature will always win, and the lives of mortals are so very short that they scrape and scrap for the illusion of power. In the end, they do not know what power is, and they never really will.
It is cool on the top of the mountain, and she could warm him, but she does not. Instead she appears in a swirl of purple, glittering magic, enjoying the spectacle. “You cast stones, and yet you do no look to yourself. Tell me, Castile, are you blameless?” They are all at fault. She does not blame any single one of them, but in the end, he comes to them pretending to be better than the others when he is as culpable as the rest.
“You seek to be more than a dragon despite knowing that there is little else that is more. There is another way to be different. You will spend part of this year without your power to learn what it is like to be less, to learn how to find power without relying on magic. Dragons spring up across Beqanna to protect themselves from those like you, so perhaps this will change the atmosphere of fear.” Or perhaps they would take advantage of the traitless king, but she doesn’t need to say that for it be known anyway.
The warmth drains from him so easily, the fire within him coming to her when called. He says he asks nothing of them, but where does he think his power came from? They control it all, and what is given can be taken away. “Come back, tell us what you have learned, and we’ll restore your power to you.”

You have rolled a 5 and will not receive a quest. Your dragon shifting has been stripped for one RL month – you do not actually have to come back to the mountain to get it back at the end of that month. However, if you decide to petition again, Wysteria does expect to hear what you learned
