Re: Kingdom of Tolkeen
Jack the dragon was finally free. Sure he had been rescued from being buried alive two days ago, but he had spent the better part of the last 48 hours with Tolkeen officers going over exactly what happened to explain his sudden disappearance back at Madtown.
Pluto Company had just lost the lives of many soldiers, rescuing Jack (and Na-Wa) from those Coalition APCs exactly 2 weeks ago. Then, 2 days later, Jack disappears and is assumed dead.
~Jack had gone 'hunting' that morning, and was followed by Lord Osema, Reginald and the other brodkil. Osema knew that eventually his pack would be in full blown conflict with the rest of the company, and they needed to start to get rid of the heavy hitters, starting with the dragon. They followed Jack out there that morning, and surrounded him. They taunted Jack to stay and fight, rather then retreating, and they were able to subdue him (he ran out of MDC). They had used some sort of rail gun slugs that were preventing him from bio-regenerating, and decided to bury Jack alive while he was defeated, to hide his body from the others.
Lord Osema and friends returned to the group that afternoon, and were all killed the next day.
Jack remained down there, unable to regenerate, and unable to teleport, but also unable to die. Twelve days had passed before he was found by a Tolkeen unit with a psi-stalker, and rescued.
Now fourteen days later, he is free to enjoy the magic of Tolkeen, while he waits to rejoin his former platoon.
