The dragon's mind no longer functioned like a person's, but that wasn't a problem for it.
[k]
＠
It was originally made up of whatever happened to be nearby.
[k]
＠
Things like the northern faeries' grudge that had been around for thousands of years, and a clump of dying cells that had fallen off the dragon's remains.
[k]
＠
It was an extermination engine meant to destroy the land around it[line 2]the land made of faerie corpses.
[k]
＠
It no longer had anything in the way of pain, grief, joy, or love. It just...was.
[k]
＠
The commands running through its brain as electrical signals couldn't have been simpler.
[k]
＠
“Objective: stop anyone impeding Britain's collapse.[sr]Reason: unknown.”
[k]
＠
“Target: flying enemy aircraft.[sr]Target: tip of flying enemy aircraft.”
[k]
＠
“Action: eliminate.[sr]Action: destroy.”
[k]
＠
The dragon soared across the twilit sky, the wind screaming past its ears.
[k]
＠
It felt nothing. Nothing at all. Not a single[sr]human impulse ran through its brain.
[k]
＠
“Target: acquired. Target: acquired.[sr]Tar...get...”
[k]
＠
Its visual data wavered. An ache built in its chest, in the hollow where its heart should be.
[k]

There was something very...familiar about the target standing on the tip of the flying enemy aircraft.

＠
Come on, you two. Please don't look so glum.
[k]
＠
I'm glad I can still be useful somehow. You really don't need to feel bad about this.
[k]
＠
That said... I do have one last request I'd like to make.
[k]
[charaFace A 14]
＠
Please, don't think too badly of this Britain, or of the faeries who lived in it.
[k]
＠
Just like there are good humans and bad humans, there are also good faeries and bad faeries.
[k]
＠
There's no such thing as a bad species or a bad society. There are just good and bad people.
[k]
＠
I don't know anything about your world of Proper Human History, but I do know this:
[k]
＠
Even though it ended up like this...
[k]
＠
Even though so many sad, tragic things happened here...
[k]
[charaFace A 0]
＠
Faerie Britain was still a beautiful kingdom, and a wonderful world.
[k]
＠
...Our Britain may be dying,[sr]but that's not because it was wrong.
[k]
＠
It's not because it was a bad world.
[k]
＠
Things that should persist, will persist. Things that should continue on will do so.
[k]
＠
That's all I wanted to say.[sr]So please, hold your heads high.
[k]
＠
Our world took over ten thousand years to come this far.
[k]
＠
It may never be perfected now...but your world still has a future ahead of it.
[k]
＠
So I hope you'll take advantage of that to make it there someday.
[k]
＠
Even if it takes hundreds,[sr]if not thousands of years...
[k]
＠
I hope your world will one day become a utopia where every living thing can find salvation.

All right, Percival! Let's show everyone why you're a Knight of the Round Table!

I still can't believe I'm riding on a flying ship.[sr]It's like something out of a story.

If this goes well, I'll have to make sure Gareth and the Round Table Army never hear the end of it.
