JanuARTy Day 27: Zikariel

Description

Zikariel is the half-dragon warlord responsible for recruiting Ardakael shortly after the young wizard was exiled, and engineering the kidnap and ransom of Talathion. His asking price? An elvish princess's hand in marriage. He came very, very close to getting what he wanted-- he was standing at the altar with Saenathra (who was trying desperately to think of a way to stab him without that action somehow getting her and the rest of the royal family killed) when the wedding was broken up by Koreal's intrusion. During the chaos, Zikariel fled, making use of his tough hide, his sharp nails, his strong tail, and ultimately his wings to escape the palace grounds and the city limits before fleeing northward. The furious elves followed him, but Ghaelfain recommended that they let him run, just to see where he went. He was confident that they could apprehend Zikariel any time they wanted...

...until the half-dragon utterly vanished, both from the scouts following him, as well as from the arcane scrying of the wizards. Puzzled and alarmed, an investigation dove into Zikariel's known personal effects within the city, including the ashes of a great deal of correspondence in his fireplace, presumably from the person he'd been planning this hostage and ransom situation. Once the wizards reconstructed the letters from the ashes, they found a name they'd never hoped to see. Zikariel wasn't just half blue dragon...

... he was the legendary Khelrishandritha's son. 

They suddenly had a much, MUCH bigger problem on their hands than just Zikariel.
