An excerpt from Volume II of the Dragon Lord Chronicles: Nemeses Unexpected .
"...I had to cleave a skull in half when it tried to talk to me."
"Why?" Neakal broke in.
"Why did it try to talk to me? I have no idea."
"No. Why did you have to kill it?"
"Well, it was already dead, but... it was a talking skull. That's not natural. What else would I do?"
