章 1175: A Mother's Resolve

-----

Within the realm of ice dragons inside the Draconic Realms, Nifl and Fafnir spoke alone. After their son left them to be alone and think about what he learned, the two addressed what had happened, and the entire issue with Sangre.

"Although I often don't mention it, I often think about Sangre. Each time I see Drake I am reminded of the one I sacrificed to have the chance to give birth to him." Nifl sighed. "It is… I guess it's my own sin, something I must bear on my own. I don't want Drake to feel guilty about this…"

"He seems to be feeling rather guilty, however. As tough as that guy tries to act like, he's sure a softie deep down. He has strong emotions and… above all, my son has a ton of empathy." Sighed Fafnir. "Us dragons are prideful and virtuous but in this harsh world, sympathy is often not something you find, even amongst fellow dragons."
