The Emperor's punishment

Rhea barely had time to comprehend the meaning behind his words before she beheld the appearance of his huge sword. She was aware that his weapon had been used to eliminate the outcasts, and now that she had become one of them, she realized he intended to wield it against her as well.

However, she didn't think she'd done anything wrong to the point Azure would summon his sword to kill her as a punishment. 

"I have been given away by my father, and I have been labeled a traitor in my own homeland, and now that I have accepted everything and found a new path to follow, you want to kill me for a crime I haven't committed. That's unacceptable Azure!" 

Oriana harshly spoke from behind Azure, "Dragons are selfish evil creatures, they're filled with greed and ought to be killed. Changing your race means you're also one of them, you've gone against humanity, you will be killed like an outcast!"
