However, Wallace was not doubting the process. He knew the mentality of his sons, or else he wouldn't have given them the liberty to do what they liked. Right now, he was just hoping that Roth wouldn't be too scared to come forth and solve a problem that the whole island had to face.

Tack-tack-tack. Footsteps echoed from inside the cave, but it was slow and rhythmic as if a stalking creature instead. The dragon elders waiting outside were all stunned when they began to see a woman walking towards the mouth of the cave leading inside the cove.
