or the day and through the night and near dawn I found the
gates of the great city of Hakkana. I slept there at the base of those
monstrous gates.
A pain in my leg awakened me hours later. "You," the voice said. I
looked up into the face of the first landed Megass I had ever met. The
young of the Megass perform the city duties for their elders, and this one,
barely nine feet long and still unencumbered enough to have full use of his
forearms, apparently served as a guard.
"I... my apologies, my lord Megass. I have come seeking an audience
with Desa Megass."
The Dragon turned his head to me and I saw him smile. "You know
interesting friends if you know of Desa Megass. Very well, we will show
you the way to Desa Megass, young mage."
He led me past the gates and into the city of Hakkana. City? No,
Hakkana covered an entire plain with its construction. The great beauty of
vaulted marble only served to introduce the marvels of engineering that
surrounded me.
The plain apparently sat like an elevated valley surrounded by
mountains.
