"It should not have been allowed to exist!" Tharsaxilus growled. "Its parents were unnaturally altered thanks to your kind, Man--tainted by the essence of the Shadowlords! You knew they produced an egg, but  you said nothing! Why?"

"Because," the mage replied, quietly in the face of the dragon's anger. "You would have destroyed it. It can't help its parentage. It's innocent! And it is still one of *your* kind... Dragon."

"It is tainted... an abomination that I scorn to call it kin."

"Then you won't help it? You won't even try to cure it of the taint?"

"It should be slain. The Shadowspawn is *dangerous*."

The mage smiled faintly. "The same has been said of regular dragons... as well as men."

Tharsaxilus scowled in response, his red-scaled brows shadowing his glowing eyes. "The Shadowlords were before your time, Man, so perhaps you can be forgiven being so cavalier about this situation--"

There was a sudden, subtle shifting in the air. The dim, fireglow of the cave swirled uneasily around a shadow which took on the shape of a dragon. It darkened, *solidified*... became scaled flesh and leathery wings. The Shadowspawn regarded Tharsaxilus with black eyes that reflected stars no one could see... and waited silently.

"But I remember," Tharsaxilus continued slowly, teeth baring. "And I will not allow their legacy to return to this land."

:-) Laura Marie Campbell replies: "No, it's not part of a greater story. 2 It *was* inspired by some roleplaying I did around that time, though."
