As Diaria further relates, the black dragon, Varney, asked Diaria to help him find a new home with some encouragement from Jormungandr. After a few attempts with some Hero Guild fortresses, none of which were suitable for sheltering dragons, Diaria began studying the edificices' constructional properties as Varney wrecked them, gaining experience in analyzing and considering his clients' special requirements. In the course of these events, Diaria also discovered the limits of his previous learnings about how the world works, while Varney admitted that he longed for a safe home to finally raise a family. This new understanding compelled them both to continue their house-hunting journey together.
