Sekras

To Irra,

The cave my clan and I encountered yesterday is not what we thought it to be. It looked small from the surface, simply a room, but Sekras then found a hole in a wall, and as we slipped through that hole we realized that these hallways had been carved out by someone else ages ago.

We took many trips from the surface and back to make sure we had enough supplies to explore, but it just kept going and going. We thought we would never reach the end, but knowing what we do now, I'm almost grateful that we did.

At the bottom, there were cells, filled cells. I didn't recognize many dragons, but Keindrys did. He rushed over to a limp dragon inside a cell, crying out his friend's name. Most of these dragons were missing persons, unaccounted for, for years!

I filed in a request for help from the Necromantic council, and I sincerely hope they take us seriously. We've started to feed some of the dragons, most of whom have been eating nothing but rats and bugs and the plants inside their own cells. Some of them were already dead. However, we simply do not have enough supplies to save everyone.

I hope the Council gives a response soon.

To Irra,

The survivors have been recovering well, as well as we can get them on their own. We've sent the strongest up above with the group that gets our supplies. I do find it a bit strange though just how many of these dragons survived. Surely there are not enough bugs down here to have sustained them all for so long?

I have also received word from the Necromantic Council; they're sending some dragons our way in a few days time. I wish it could be sooner, but I will not complain too much. Any help is better than nothing.

Another thing, less significant, Sekras and Keindrys have been acting strange. Keindrys refuses to leave the body of his friend, even though we've told him that they're dead. And Sekras seems to be going a little crazy from being underground so long, talking to shadows on the walls like there's someone else there. I'm a little more than worried about their minds, I have to send them back up with the others the next supply run.

I hope that you and our son have been okay. I promise I'll be back soon.

To Irra,

The dragons sent by the Council have arrived. With them here, we've been going much faster on getting all the survivors out. Keindrys has finally left the body of his friend, though he still eats little, if at all. I understand his plight, but I think he needs to understand that there are other survivors that can be saved. Frustrating, but saddening to see him be like this.

A thing of far more concern though, Sekras has disappeared. I was planning to send him up today, but nobody can find him. There have also been disappearing corpses, and I have a feeling that both of these aren't unrelated. I cannot let him get away with this. Luckily, those dragons from the Necromantic Council are here, and are documenting everything as well. If Sekras attempts anything, he risks angering the Council.

I'm going to continue this work, and once everyone is out, I will finally return home.

Backstory
Sekras had grown tired of being treated sub-par compared to Chavras. He felt as if every time he brought up an idea, it would be shot down immediately. So he sat, stirring in his discontent, but with no way to let it out.

That was until, they had found a dragon-made cave.

This cave seemed to reek of darkness and death, and dragons laid in cages, starving but never dying. Sekras wondered how this could possibly be, how they could have not died in all this time. He noticed figures dancing in the darkness, he heard voices whispering to him, calling him to go closer into the shadows. They promised him all the power in the world, the ability to make anyone listen to him. They promised that all would cower at his feet, and he would never have to fear being spoken over ever again.

He just needed to do a couple, small tasks... Really menial, in the scale of things.
