Athron cocks his head and thinks. "Yes, one time when my spirit was travelling, it detected another spirit in distress. I went to it, but could not get close. It had been stolen from its home, and was definitely Vahnatai. And I know its hiding place."

He growls. "I am Athron the dragon. This you knew. Quit wasting my time."

You finally stand before the dragon Athron. He towers above you, three times your height, and looks down upon you with distrust and grim distaste. When he exhales, little flames comes out.
