บท 297: The Dragon's Head

      The Captain walked with Delaney on his arm up a grand flight of stairs.  At the top, there was a pair of doors.  He paused to unlock them before turning back to her.

      "There are things in here it would be best if you never mentioned seeing."

      Delaney nodded, "I only want the tooth, Captain.  That will be the only thing capturing any of my attention."

      Captain Black looked at her seriously as if he was trying to gauge if she was telling the truth.  Seeming to accept her words, he turned then and opened the door.

      Delaney stepped inside a room that was nearly dark.  The Captain stepped past her into the darkness and flung open a set of curtains over a large window.  Light washed down over the most terrifying thing she had ever seen.
