Personages/Papa

Papa
This is the name of a grey dragon who took demihuman form, and horded children. He lived on the planet Luna.

Background
Papa influced the surrounding cultures to allow him to accrue hundreds of orphans, who in turn built themselves a massive utopian child plantation.

The catch was, once a child became of-age, and was no longer a child, Papa would take them into the abandoned Astryl mines and turn the young adult into Astrylite - and then sell the Astrylite for more children.

His End
Papa insisted that Bea was a delivery, but Tarla  wasn't having any of it. Gunner made a fantasical deal with Tarla: He would give Bea beauty, everlasting youth, and she would be immortal - in exchange to the Dragons head.

Tarla and company tricked the dragon into attacking as a dragon, and snuck his polymorph amulet onto his dew-claw. Now in demihuman form, the amulet was inside his boot. He could not reach his boot before Tarla beheaded him and took her trophy back to Gunner.

But,

The Dragon did not die.
