[ What's up. We probably didn't mean to meet here, in the funhouse. ]
... This isn't a restaurant?
[ Nope. Instead, a memory is displayed in the mirrors:
You see villagers gathered before their chief, clamouring for action. There are intruders on the island, they say. Sanctists, come to steal the divine relics. They must be put to death. The chief tries to calm them, explaining that the outsiders have done no harm, but they will not be placated. This is but the latest in a series of disasters.
[I was going to say something silly to start with, but then I watched that memory and whoo boy]
You...that's not how you died, is it?
[The dragons in his world mostly isolate themselves from humans, only descending to where the humans live to hunt for food in the form of deer, cows, or sheep. Participating in ritualistic sacrifice like that is unthinkable.]
It had somehow attached itself to our god, like a parasite. It was the human that was consuming sacrifices, and... likely the human that brought calamity to our land.

Very nearly, but no.

...did someone else?

I fully intended to complete the ritual, but... it did not go as planned.
no subject
If it's not too much to ask, what happened?
no subject
But there was something else there. Something that was not my god.

Was it one of those...humans? Your world's humans, I mean.

We did succeed in freeing the Dragon God from its grasp, that it might serve as our protector once more.
