| abstract | - Dragons of Gossamer Wings is the sixth scenario in Clash of the Dragons, the fourth part of Heroes Chronicles. To stand up to Mutare's dragons, the Elf King sends Tarnum to ally with the faerie dragons. Once a few of them have decided to join him, the rest of their species will follow. Tarnum tells Valita some of the things he did when he was the Barbarian Tyrant - how he killed innocents, including one of his sisters. Both of them have done things they wish they hadn't. One of Aspen's spies finds a harpy who's been bringing messages from the traitor to the enemy. The harpy doesn't know what the traitor looks like, only that the person uses elven arrows with black and green feathers. Tarnum asks Kurbon whether anyone else but Valita uses those colors, but they don't. Aspen tries to crack the code in the note, and eventually succeeds. Tarnum calls Valita into his tent. She knows that someone suspects her of being a spy, but instead of accusing her, he kisses her, and he tells her that he trusts her. When Aspen gets his hand on a note to the traitor, Kurbon shoots him. Kurbon's the traitor, and he needs Aspen dead, as the old elf is the only one who can crack Mutare's codes. Tarnum's men try to hunt him down, but the dwarf escapes. Aspen, who is near death, is taken to the sick tent. Eventually, Tarnum manages to convince the faerie dragons to join his army.
