Chapter 19 The Spring United Council

Aldrick once again summoned the leaders of the dragon species together for a parallel Spring Council. He was furious with the green’s slaughter of thirty thousand plus men and women on Jing. He knew that the barons would most certainly take some kind of retribution on dragons, though he did not know just what. He still held out hope that a war between their races could somehow be avoided. To that end, he called for the United Council once more.

He made his arguments first, outlining the devastation caused by the greens on Jing. “What do you expect from the humans when you burn down their villages, steal their valuable mines, and abduct their women and breed them and mutilate their bodies? Of course, you are forcing humans to attack you!” Aldrick, the gold, argued.

Alistair, the green, countered, “We greens have been hunted to near extinction on Jing! Do you realize that among all the planets there are only thirty of us greens left? We were only trying our best to preserve our race.” He didn’t mention the many male slaves who were forced to mine for their gems and gold. “The humans are committing genocide on us greens. Are you going to stand for that?” Many supported him, particularly the reds, blacks, and whites. However, now the browns tended to agree. The idea of genocide bothered the brown representatives, Donatello and Pietro.

After more discussion, Werner, the black, played his Ace card. “We sent in a spy to their High Council meeting. The barons have now declared war on dragons!” This sent a shockwave of growls through the entire group, as he expected. When it died down, he continued, “There can now be no doubt about the true intentions of the humans: extermination of all dragon-kind! Worse, their Archmages, who the golds so love, have now produced two hideous weapons that have already been used against us!” He described in detail the Rod of Dragon Slaying and the Gem of Dragon Control.

“Yes, you may well one day soon become a puppet to the human who wears the Gem, doing his bidding as his dragon slave!” This created even more of an uproar, for a dragon fiercely loves his freedom of action and choice. Aldrick began to see the neutral dragons sliding over to the reds and blacks and greens.

“Look, thus far, these power weapons have only been used by the humans when they went to rescue the women that you had kidnaped! Not once have they launched a war against you. The greens cannot argue that the retaking of the mines that they stole from the barons on Jing was an attack. The humans there were merely defending their mines. If the humans truly wanted a war with us, they would send out attacking forces, which they have not done as yet,” Aldrick attempted to persuade the neutrals, having given up on the others. “Please, please, we need calm here. Stop provoking the humans by burning their villages and stealing, breeding, and mutilating their women.
