Hello General!

Leaves are falling, pumpkins are ripening, and the spooky spirit is spreading through the Kingdom. And also… more sinister news. Rumor has it that fallen elven warriors and spectral beings are haunting the forests, attacking travelers, and corrupting the very land itself.

Do not despair! The Alliance is here to save the day once again, and with the new drafts, it's stronger than ever. Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing none other than Bonehart himself, the formidable bone dragon, who has returned just in time to face this new threat to the Kingdom.

Sheepy: “Can you share where you've been during your absence?"

Bonehart: “AFTER FIGHTING IN THE FRONTIERS, I SOUGHT A COLD HAVEN IN THE NORTH... BUT MY VERY EXISTENCE BROUGHT CHAOS TO ALL LIVING THINGS. JOKULL CONFRONTED ME IN A FIGHT THAT LASTED FOR DAYS, AND IN THE END, I WAS DEFEATED... A CURIOUS FATE, FOR IT WAS ONLY THEN THAT I FOUND MY LONG-AWAITED REST."

Sheepy: "So.. you died!? How come you are here now?"

Boneart: "A DRAGON LIVES FOREVER. VEZ'NAN'S DARK SPELLS BROUGHT ME BACK TOGETHER, RECONSTRUCTING MY REMAINS AND RESTORING MY SPIRIT WITH POWER. TO REPAY HIM FOR THIS MAGIC, I OFFERED MY OWN POWERS IN RETURN."

Sheepy: "Is that the reason why you joined the Dark Amy?"

Bonehart: "MY DEBT TO VEZ'NAN DRIVES ME, BUT THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE—A PULSING INSTINCT I CAN'T FULLY GRASP. THE NEED TO PROTECT THE ELVES IS STRONGER NOW THAT I'VE RETURNED TO THE SOUTH. IT PULLS ME BACK TO BATTLE LIKE AN UNSEEN FORCE."

The Alliance is marching next week towards the new threat. With Bonehart by their side, wielding his fierce protectiveness of the elves, I have no doubts they will be able to face whatever dangers lie ahead.

Which of the Alliance's new drafts should I interview next?

Sheepy out!
