Queen Maroon's Links
"I will not fight in a war that I have no stake in. Nothing will change that."
"Coward."
"I know of your flight and your history of peace and acceptance. Yet now you sit on the throne claiming that violence is the answer. If only you had followed in late Glory's footsteps. Perhaps things would be different."
"The weak, old Queen hides behind her walls in the midst of a war? What a shame, tsk tsk."
"I do. But my dragons are not worth the sacrifice, no matter how we may know each other, or time spent together I refuse to participate in something I have no stake in. I hope you and your advisor know that."
"Queen Maroon. I have known you for many moons now. I trust you know what may come if this war does not turn in my favor."
"I wish you nothing but the best young Onyx. The path that you are on... Its not one that you deserve. I hope you come to understand this with time."
"I don't believe we've met before, Queen Maroon. Someday I hope we may come to an understanding regarding this war. Your resources are the most valuable, and I would be happy to trade some of mine in return for your aid."
"You are nothing more than a child throwing a temper tantrum. You got the throne, but do you truly know what that means?"
"Heavy is the crown for those who fail to fight for their people, but never for a Queen. Perhaps one day you will bend the knee. I only hope it doesn't come at a cost of your people, Queen Maroon."
"I have sympathy for her, I truly do. It's a shame that it had to come to this, and I mourn for her just like any dragon with a heart. I understand the rage, but is blindly fighting in this war truly what she would have wanted? ... It isn't my place to say."
"Queen Maroon has led a life of stability for her dragons. I tried to do the same, but have failed to protect those closest to me... I imagine she will never join the war, and I'm sure I would have done the same if I had not lost my sweet child."
"Your history means nothing to me, but your flights stake in this war... I cannot deny that it troubles me. I hope you get what you want out of this. And I hope it was worth it."
"Please. For the sake of your dragons stay out of the war."
"You are nothing but a speck of a mite on the cloth of the throne claiming to own it. You know nothing about being queen, and I would dare say you are just the same as Eira just wearing different scales."
"She is nothing but a frail old shell of what a true Queen should be. Yet I suppose it's only fitting for the flight she leads. My ancestors knew what your dragons are worth. Do you?"
"It's the way things have to be, no matter how unfair it may be... I'm sorry for your loss. Don't let the others get to you, what you are doing is best for you and your dragons. The others may not, but I support you Ceres."
"I know you were a friend of my mother's... and I'm sorry for taking her from you as well. I am glad for your support and hope I can look to you for counsel as my mother did."
"My friend, I am not afraid to admit that I miss you. I often find myself wondering if you had known about the war, about all of this if you would have done differently. And the more I age, the more I fear that I will end up like you. Will I have to make the same choices? Only time will tell unfortunately..."

"The day she took the throne I was afraid of Scuttlewick's future, but I'm glad to hear that she's still willing to have an open trade sight. That being said, I have my doubts about her. Only being able to speak once the right words are fed to her by her king or father, she's just someone for dragonets to look up to in the kingdom I suppose."
"Scuttlewick this, Scuttlewick that. Just shut up about Scuttlewick already! It's still an open trade site, there isn't anything left to discuss! By the moons she's always sending me letters about it, did Mom have to deal with this too?"
"My beloved child... I hope you find your path in life sweet Marbles. The world is too cruel for a sweetheart like you."
