White Dragon

The History of the Great Fall.
"Is the timing right? What did the scroll reveal?" Dask had waited for hours outside the door. The cave was cold and damp, and it made his joints ache, but he didn't complain. Now that Galax had emerged from the room he forgot about the pain.
The dragon looked at Dask and smiled, "The scroll indicated we have enough men and dragons to proceed."
"Tell me when. When will it be?"
"During the Celebration of the Light Festival." Galax was quite pleased with himself.
Dask paced as the wheels turned in his head. He spun around, giving an evil smile to the dragon. "What genius! All the kingdoms celebrate the festival on the same day and hour."
"Yes, and because it's a festival we can catch everyone off guard. Who would take weapons to a day of feasting and carnival rides?" Galax motioned for Dask to follow. "We must get word to our brethren."
"Will we have enough time to reach all the kingdoms with our plan?"
"You mean the plan given to us by the scroll?"
"Yes, Galax, of course. I would never take credit for the wisdom of the scroll." Dask stole a quick glance at the dragon's face and kept
pace.
"We will have enough time."
Dask stopped abruptly and grabbed the dragon's arm. "Galax, answer my question. Will our dragons go through with this? They are exterminating their own kind." Sweat beaded off his forehead as he looked earnestly into the dragon's eyes.
Galax laughed lightly and patted the man's shoulder. "The dragons we plan to eliminate are weak links who don't share our vision. Mankind will follow the same fate if they don't follow us."
"I wanted to be sure. Once we start we can't stop. None can escape."
"If the scroll says none will escape, then none will escape."
Again, Dask stopped and grabbed the dragon's arm.
"What! What now?"
"I'm sorry. One more thing. What about King Ericken? What about Castlewellan?" Dask paced and rubbed his hands methodically. "I will say it. He's no fool, and his army is fierce. Can we really conquer his kingdom?"
Dask's words drained the dragon's irritation. He thought before he answered. "If the scroll says the timing is right, then it is so."
"Yes, of course."
"We proceed with our plans.
They walked through the corridor and out of the cave in the Barrier Mountains. They squinted hard at the bright sunlight. Once their eyes adjusted, they could see the battalion of dragons and men who had been waiting patiently for orders from their leaders.
