You cannot trust him, for he is Beta. Beta has been the main reason for corruption. Beta has been the main reason for the dragon's death- it was not Omega's. It was not Epsilon's.
Shadow is not a shadow, he is a puppet master. He pulls the strings, he needs to use the puppets- he wishes to rise and burn his toys.
The answers rang in Midnight's ears. She didn't want to question anymore dragons for ridiculous answers. She was sure it was useless.
For all she knew, Shadow is Beta, he's evil and mad. She didn't need the dragons to tell her that.
"So, how was it?" asked Pi, as the fox strode with Midnight on the way back to Lambda's territory. The pi symbol on her forehead shone silver. "The answers, did they reach you?"
"Not of my logical belief," said Midnight, sighing. "The dragons speak in riddles!"
"They ought to," said Pi, pushing through a bush. "They're ancient guardians. A little while back then, poetry is a very delicate and exclusive for the best and richest people. The dragons learned this, and we have no objections."
Blaze piped up, "I like Agruare the best."
"Dragon of the East," said Pi. "Noble, and, ah, unfortunate..."
Midnight was silent. "Why?"
Pi was silent. "Agruare and I are lovers," she finally said after a long uncomfortable silence.
"What!" cried Blaze and Midnight, scaring a few birds from trees.
Pi sighed. "It was such a long time ago many of us forgotten. Unfortunately, I couldn't forget, so can't Delta."
"Delta?" asked Blaze.
"One of us," said Pi, swishing her tail.
Midnight remembered the other wolf. "What about Sigma?"
"Sigma was a pup born with the blessing of the dragons," said Pi. "Delta, Sigma, Epsilon and I were close friends of the dragons."
There were no reasons. "Before a decade ago, when the dragons were turned into stone, about five decades before, the day Sigma was born, a dragon blessed him with prosperity. Sigma always had enough, but he didn't know who to share it with. Thus, Delta opened up his heart. They were the first who interacted with the dragons directly by asking for their approval for marriage. The dragons approved, and Delta appointed me to lead her marriage. I was much older than them both, you see," said Pi.
"Marriage?" echoed Blaze.
Pi nodded. "Here, when you get married, it's a very honourable thing. You get a soul mate and a new form of your happiness."
Midnight nodded, though shocked to know they were old, and married, after seeing Delta being so mild to Sigma days before.
"I met Agruare in the marriage. He and I were in charge of the wedding, the runes, spells and all... We fell in love after a long conversation," Pi continued.
Blaze sniffed. "Was Agruare evil?"
Pi shook her head. "No, no," was all she could say as she walked towards a cave.
"He still got bitter?" asked Midnight.
Pi sighed. "Agruare was one of the ones who found out their life secrets and thus was able to live harmoniously here," she replied. "However, the curse could not reverse itself or make exceptions. Agruare... He had to go..."
Midnight was silent. "Does dragon blessings leave marks?"
They reached before the cave. It was Pi's den. The fox turned back, facing the two wolves.
"Yes, Sigma has a mark," said Pi finally.
"What about the one on your forehead?" asked Blaze suddenly. "Is that a blessing?"
Pi frowned. Instead of replying, she hurried into her den.
"Sister, I think Arguare blessed her," accused Blaze, frowning.
"I want to know more about these dragons," fumed Midnight.
Then, the two left and there was a loud shout, "Got'cha!"
Midnight turned and yelped as something tackled her.
Author's Note: OMG I'm progressing so slowly... Noooo...
Darnit Midnight. Stop asking about the dragons and forget them for now.
