Fall, 1327
An hour later, and Logan and Mera were hiding among a maze of large boulders, surrounding a sheltered little cove, waiting for the angry Royal patrols searching for them to pass. Logan sat quietly atop one of the large monoliths while Mera nervously paced the small dirt clearing for the hundredth time.
“So, what’s this great plan of yours Logan?”
The hunter shrugged. “Something that involves you not fighting at all”
“What? I planned on defeating him in battle.”
“The colonel is right you know. This will not end by winning, even if you beat him in combat. King John will not rest until you’re bound to a stake in that slaughter pen at Caldern. Or Lord Fairfax kills you. Or the Townsfolk of Stanton..”
Mera stopped and turned, fury burning in his eyes and smoke rising ominously from his nostrils. “Not unless they all die first.”
The Forester snorted. “Come now, even a dragon isn’t powerful enough to attack the seat of power in Auxia.”
And then the spell was broken. With some exasperation, Mera returned to his normal neurotic self. “So what then is your plan, pray tell?” The dragon asked with some sarcasm.
Logan gave a quiet laugh. “You can die Mera!”
“Are you crazy?” The dragon strained to keep his voice a below a whisper. Why would I do that? The whole point of this past year was to keep me alive!”
“Trust me. We just have to give him your head!”
“That is the same thing as me being dead, Logan.”
“Don’t worry, we only need to give him what he thinks is your head.”
Mera violently shook his head. “Kill another dragon? No! I will not participate in something so barbaric! You insult me as one of the Children of the-”
“Relax. We’re going with a fake.”
“What?”
Logan looked at the dragon with a cheerful disposition. “We are going to build you, Mera!” . “We are going to build you, Mera!”

Our derg wants to fight, but it looks like he's going to do that some other time! He's quite annoyed by it unfortunately!
I like how confused and upset Mera is by this conversation. And, it's pretty funny how Logan's plan ends up fooling the king.
Lol thanks! King John is a bit of an immature, arrogant fool who is borderline delusional, and everyone else is too afraid of him to speak otherwise.
