Vesperox

The record

The records on Vesperox contradict each other. It prefers it so.

Vesperox answers questions with questions. The keepers stopped asking.

It flies at dusk, when honest things and dishonest things wear the same light.

It chose you because your answers had edges it wanted to turn over.

Its records say it asks one more question above the clouds. No rider has ever written down what it was.

Every trial answer feeds five measures — courage, cunning, loyalty, wildness, stillness — and the dragon whose temperament sits closest to yours makes the claim. How the trial works →

The bond's weakness

It doubts its own landings. Twice it circled a safe field until dawn.
