He continued, "However, your current actions are plunging the dragon clan into danger. Once you're gone, our clan's extinction will be imminent!"
Tiger Slayer King took a moment to collect himself, then said, "Ancestor, we can overlook this if you stop now. While we can't promise that the dragon clan will have equal standing to the six royal clans, we can ensure its dominance over all other clans."
