“Hah!  The Seeress really jerked the old man’s chain with that one, didn’t she, Jerilyn.  Those poor dragons, my cousins, I suppose, spending eternity apart and for what?  When her doom did come true, it unfolded in a way that no one expected, unless she had known all along.  I wouldn’t put it past her; she learned much staring into Aux’s waters, much that she twisted to her own ends.”    The Wizard of the Blue Lagoon
