"You Fire Dragons have an entire clan behind you. She is alone and doesn't want to involve her brother in a conflict with the Council or the Kingdom."
"You have a point." Erghak sighed. "I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, accompany Lith in delivering the Eyes. I have something that might help Tista in the short term. Erghak out."

"I have a question." Nyka said. "I know that the owner of one of the pieces of Menadion Set can authorize other people to use it, but how are the Fire Dragons supposed to get the authorization? Mom is unreliable at best, and I can't move during the day."

"With my life. Why?"
"Then give me the Eyes." The First Ruler of the Flames extended her hand.
Nyka took the artifact off Kalla's snout and handed it to Menadion.
"Wait." Solus stopped them. "Isn't your mother going to get angry when she wakes up?"
