Cinder's Inferno

As Alister walked away, he paused for a moment, glancing over his shoulder toward Yu'Keto, his gaze narrowing.

"Then again, I do have a question," he said, his voice calm yet sharp.

"Ask away, young lord," Yu'Keto said, nodding his massive head slightly.

"Tell me... Yu'Keto, if you knew the dragon kin were going through something like this..."

He turned to fully face him as he continued.

"Why didn't you help them? With your abilities... you are able to see the future, are you not?"

"Indeed," Yu'Keto said, narrowing his gaze as well.

"So then, tell me, why did a dragon of your might and status turn a blind eye to the suffering of our kin?"

Yu'Keto closed his eyes, then gracefully lowered his head until his maw touched the earth. He spread out his wings, their tips touching the ground as well, crushing all the trees beneath them.
