How many non-humans are here in Vatheon?

If you are not human, what are you?

Gods don't really stick around long enough to be part of the naming process. I didn't even know who my dad was until a few months back.

What a pity.

I'm sure you'll impress him if you do your best.

Nah, I don't need to worry about impressing him. Just 'cause I didn't know who he was, doesn't mean it was the same on his end. He told me he's been watching me all along. I got the picture that I've done some things to make him proud.

Does that make up for not having him around while you were growing up?

Of course it doesn't.

Do you have much interaction with him now? Back home, before you came here.

Not directly. That was just the once when he spoke to me in a dream. It's fine though, I'd kind of given up on ever meeting him a long time ago.

But he helps me out sometimes. Like taking Festus back to camp for me when he crash landed and was unfixable.

Who's Festus? [That sounds like a good train of conversation.]

Oh, Festus is an automaton dragon that I repaired. He was our transportation on my first quest but when he cash landed, there was no repairing him. But now his head is the masthead on the ship I built. He's got a new purpose. One day I'd like to be able to rebuild him.

I'm sure you could make something similar here, if you wanted.

Not to the scale of Festus. He was 60 feet long and about a ton a foot in weight.

[An appreciative whistle.]

That's bigger than I thought he would be. Is he the biggest you've made?

I didn't make him. Wish I did. I only fixed him up enough to start out our quest. But when I rebuild him he'll be the biggest thing I've made on my own since I had a lot of help building the Argo II.
