A circular block rose up about thirty feet in the center of the pit, directly under the platform the spire ended at. ![]() Below the spire and walkways, the room sank like a giant bowl until it bottomed out about a hundred feet below us. There was a central spire that ran up the middle and four walkways that ran out from it to connect with the level we were standing on. The room had to be half a mile wide and perfectly circular around the edge. I nodded as we walked back out the way I had come in, and we walked down several hallways before we entered what I assumed to be the central hub of the base. I’ll give you the basic tour while the techs get your room set up.” She jerked her head and spoke in a clipped voice as she undid the cuffs, “This way. She didn’t have much of an expression, but from what I could see in her eyes her back story was not something I was going to hear any time soon. She looked slightly Asian in appearance, but I guessed the blood had been thinned by a few generations.

You will follow any order given to you so long as it does not interfere with a previous order and you will follow all of our regulations to the letter. He waved a hand to include the people seated below him, “These people are now your only family and your only responsibility. Your duties so far only include feeding the dragons and cleaning out their cells, but I’m sure we’ll find more for you to do as we go.” So, you are being assigned a new identity and will be tasked as the organization’s first dragon keeper. I have spoken with the other commanders and we all agree that your lack of fear around the dragons could be of use to us. The General glanced back at me after looking over his shoulder at the data, “Do you have a death wish or just like to feel how your body breaks?

My green eyes held a hidden laughter and my thin chin strap I called a beard was just barely visible. My photo was from my driver’s license, and as per usual my blond hair was a mess and I had my trademark smirk twisting the left side of my mouth. He hit a button on the podium and a screen slid down behind him, lighting up with my picture and dozens of record files.
