Opiee

Adjutant Opiee

Small flying bune dragon adjutant who declines to charge Houston and wonders aloud why Shi Maria returned to Carl.

Story so far

Opiee flags an oddity in the replay: Mordecai's potion only worked temporarily and should have permanently severed the bond, yet the spider was pulled back into Carl. Much is happening at once within that crawler's body, he says, and he is quite curious to learn what exactly happened.

He rises into the air on fluttering wings — Bune usually walk, but can fly short distances — to deliver his ruling: Architect Houston's presence in the castle plus possible collusion by a family member not bound by the rules is circumstantial evidence, quite damning circumstantial evidence, but not enough to officially charge him. He offers Houston the chance to confess, gets silence, and takes it as a no over Carl's protest. He agrees with Baroness Victory's not-culpable vote, closing off any charge against The Madness.

Appearance

A small dragon of the bune sort with little fluttering wings, able to hover and fly short distances despite usually walking.
