Reading from Monday, December 8

Today I read from page 255 - 279. The bird returns and Avrel gets a history lesson about dragons. The Fain are a race that came to be with humans, and became one with them, but things went wrong. Humans retained a sense for greed on departure, and the Fain retained the human quality of aggression. A new breed of the Fain was born - they call themselves the Ix. The Ix now plan to create a dragon out of "Dark Fire" to destroy all dragons created from "The Fire Eternal". Basically, the Ix are planning an all out supernatural war the Ingavar has to stop.
