What Young Wyverns Should Know

Wolff shook his head. He heard that the young wyverns at the Citadel, despite the evil of the Grand Inquisitor, still pined for his firm and leathery dark hand. Yet, he knew it was natural for the immature to seek guidance. It was just that their former Dark Master had rid the place of many who were qualified to guide.

And so, many of the Council of the young wyverns were deceived, for they knew not the truth, or if they knew it, did not recognize or want to accept its import. Wolff wondered if they would think differently had they known that the Old Man had been an inappropriate leader to other young wyverns in the past.

But Wolff laughed when he saw the last line of the letters of fire upon the wall. "November 30th," the flame-writing said. Fewer than a thousand days had passed.
