The locals are willing to join your cause, but the paths are guarded by dragons.  Clear these paths and you can gain support.  The [[Azure Dragon]]s are both mighty and elusive.  Track them down and kill them before they moves on to new territory.  You estimate in six months they will move again. Once you have gained their support you can then seek your prize.  Beware the other Dragons who guard the Azure, keeping out the fainthearted and unworthy of such a challenge.]]

Gathering all of the courage you can muster, you set out to face the last challenge that will make you the best Dragon Slayer of them all...the [[Azure Dragon]]. }}
{{TErow| 3 | No Magic|As you walk around  you notice that the towns around the base of the mountains are very primitive.  They have no mage guilds what-so-ever.  It is then that you realize that you must use your magic wisely, for you have no way of recharging your mana. }}

{{h|Dracon|0=}}: My victory is hollow.  I do not understand why.  I have accomplished what only the elite dream.  In my private moments, I have felt this beast would be the key to unlock a long sought personal contentment.  I was wrong.  My disatisfaction stirs and I wonder, what is next.
