I wrote this for Cair Aisling. I've always enjoyed the concept of dragons, and the Cair Aisling event was the perfect excuse to write an article about medieval dragons. I also wanted to write up some fantastical dragons as being complete jerks because I thought it would be funny.

By interviewing Beazere and telling him what Fernael had said, the Authority inadvertently caused the neutralization of RPC-X.

Original criticism thread

Thank you to Vizlox, TTPY, Von Pincier, and Prototype_Toaster for criticism.

This is my wacky forum signature. You laugh at how wacky it is. Such a perfectly absurd forum signature is exactly the type of thing to make you giggle. Your entire life: It's all been leading up to this moment. Reading my crazy forum signature. All these years, all your struggles have been worth it. It's all downhill from here. All downhill from JimmyBoyHaha's forum signature.

Thank you.

SHEFFIELD: It seems R— Beazere only comes out of his cave when he needs to eat.

I already said this for 370, but I think the RPC confusion feels unnatural considering how "Beazere" rolls off the tongue so much easier than "arr-pee-see-one-ninety" or whatever.

SHEFFIELD: Well, Fernael said you don't attack villages because you're apparently a coward.

RPC-190-B: …What?

SHEFFIELD: Er, I've talked— I've talked to him. He said you're, uh, "feminal".

I do not believe a professional researcher would do this, knowing of the evident consequences it could have — unless the Authority wanted them to fight for whatever reason, which isn't said anywhere.

EDIT: In fact, it's directly detrimental to the Authority considering how they need guidance help from the villagers.

Other than that… I just find the conclusion unsatisfying. Not because there was no underlying reason, but because it wasn't really played up enough to work as a shaggy-dog sort of thing. I'm unsure of even why they were classified as anomalies in the first place¹, although that's just a nitpick.

Footnotes

1. Although my own submission makes me kind of a hypocrite in this point, I made sure to acknowledge that the Authority wasn't sure the anomaly actually was one in the containment procedures of the article

It was a fun article but the ending was just… disappointing. I was hoping for more and it just ends with them both ceasing to exist.

Nothing really happens in this article. Two dragons fight and kill eachother, that's it.
