David didn't know whether it was the massive consumption of the 'mighty empowering dragonsword' that caused it, but he slept extremely deeply this time. Moreover, unlike the previous two occasions, his sleep was not troubled by a messy barrage of troublesome dreams.
And when he awoke feeling refreshed, he heard news from the Nifadora sisters, who had arrived first thing. It was news that he couldn't help but gloat over:
His Red Dragon ancestor, Christoph, had returned in a disgraceful state with his band of half-blood Dragonkin and Vassals, having failed to conquer the Gloomy Region.
It wasn't exactly a defeat, though.
To be precise, there hadn't been a battle at all.
They had discovered that the Drow, previously scattered after David unleashed the Wrath of Tiamat and destroyed Spider Nest City, had recently been almost completely reunited. This was accomplished by a group of matrons who had parachuted in from the city of Mosoblay on Toriel.
