Yet more hoarding (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru cocks his head at the pause.

"What's strange? We'll help you understand, if we can."

[Anastasia]

"Everything," The hydra says, several of her heads going still and then drooping down. "Everything and more."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"Don't be discouraged. I can imagine it's a bit overwhelming, but we're certainly willing to help you. The place we come from has a library, a depository of books and knowledge, as well as many people of knowledge. We did this with the intent of helping you learn all you need and want. I understand I forced this awareness on you, and for not giving you a choice, I apologize."

[Anastasia]

"Learn..." The hydra murmurs at that, "Learn."

[Iron Dragoon]

"You'll be learning the entire rest of your life. Everyone is. As it is, for now, we'd like to take you back to where we're from. It's a place named Aurora. There's a great many types of creatures there, all friendly. You should know that Aurora is currently in a fight with demons, though."

[Anastasia]

"Leave?" The hydra quickly frowns on all heads, "But my family's here. My mother, my father, my siblings..." she trails off, "Are they thinking like I am now?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"No, they're not. We could make them, but it will take time. It's a spell to be cast, and it takes an hour to do. It also takes a bit of money. I'm not sure how many of your family is here, but I can afford to awaken quite a few of them. Possibly all. That being said, before we do actually awaken all of them, if that's what you desire, we'll still have to return to Aurora first and make arrangements. You and your family require... A large amount of space, after all."

[Anastasia]

"Oh yes, you should agree," Kascha says, "Like this, you'll soon find the others can't keep up with you. You'll grow lonely and..." She suddenly gasps, "Surraruthru, no matter what happens, we have to help more of them. It would be horrible to leave only one of them awoken!"

"Quite," Ebony seconds. "But we do need to see and to make preparations. Take time and think about it, we'll return tomorrow."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods to Ebony and Kascha.

"Yes, take time and think about it. However, this is a weighty decision. I can awaken one other right now, if you want. If you do, and can help me keep them calm for the casting, then you can discuss it with them and come to a mutual decision. Even if you decide to stay here, I'll still help you awaken the others. But know if you do stay here, your chances to learn will be limited."

[Anastasia]

"Learn..." The hydra repeats, seeming to ponder it.

Plan is to go back then return the next day?

[Iron Dragoon]

I offered to awaken one other for her to talk to about it, and asked her to pick one.

[Anastasia]

Oh sorry, managed to miss that.

After some pondering, "Do it," The hydra says.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Who do you want me to awaken?"

[Anastasia]

"My brother," The hydra says, "Move."

From here she leads you to a eight headed hydra on the opposite side. It hisses at her as she approaches, and she hisses right back. Heads move rapidly as they make a lot of wet, hissy noises at each other, until the eight headed hydra lowers its heads down.

"He will do it," The female hydra says.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods and swims towards the new hydra, resting a claw on the chin of one head and begins to cast the spell!
