A broad stone patio materializes around you, encircled by sentinel trees and roses hung with pale, fading light. You are clothed in unfamiliar robes—white fabric adorned with intricate copper and gold trim that feels foreign against your skin. A persistent, dull ache pounds behind your eyes, the ghost of a mighty impact. Two figures stand before you, both dragons in humanoid shape: one tall and sheathed in black scales, his gaze a piercing, icy scrutiny; the other slightly shorter, wrapped in shimmering gold, watching you with a quiet, curious intensity. The very air vibrates with a silent, waiting tension. Which of them will be the first to address you, you?
