Leder frowns a little, understanding where Autor is coming from better than the others of the Islands.
"Have you committed everything so far to memory, Mr. Stinkbug?"
The stinkbug hops twice in confirmation.
"The reason these islands are special is because they harbor a giant dragon nearly as large as the islands themselves. Long, long ago, people lived together with the Dragon. However, at some point in time, the people and the Dragon could no longer coexist. So, using the seven Needles, the Dragon was placed into a long, long sleep by the ancestors of the Magypsy people, who have lived here since ancient times. Ever since, the Magypsies have guarded the Needles in an effort to prevent the Dragon from being woken until its power is truly needed. Thus, until the time of its awakening, the Dragon continues to sleep as the power of the earth itself. And so, because of the tremendous energy of the Dragon hidden deep below, these islands were protected from the end of the world. Everything so far has been about the Dragon and the Magypsies. Did you understand all of it?"
It's getting more and more difficult for Lucas to nod but he does so all the same.
