Sapphira closed her eyes, remembering the cruel atrocities of the war, when she was just a hatchling, she saw how her mother and her rider die right infront of her eyes due to a raid caused by the certain cultists, a tear left Sapphira's scaly cheeks.
Karyu noticed this and felt his heart drop in sadness, "Don't worry, the cultists will eventually see the ruin that will plague them and by just seeing this, they will beg on their knees to be spared and to return to their home countires." said Karyu, this made Sapphira quickly look at him, "The most loyal ones to their cause will sacrifice themselves for that certain cause, although from what i saw, there aren't many." he continued, Sapphira kept eyeing Karyu fascinated by his reasoning.
"You're right, eventually we will have most of the cultist tribes exterminated, causing the other ones to beg for mercy." Said Sapphira, she never talked to anyone about this, she wanted to talk to Adam and ask about his opinion on this war but she feared the worst.
"Now, putting aside the opinions on this cruel war, let's discuss about something else." Suggested Karyu, this caught Sapphira by suprise, she never met someone who is willing to switch the point to something else, "You can decide the topic." said Karyu, waiting for Sapphira to respond.
After thinking awhile, she came up with an idea, "Let's talk about our ideals." said Sapphira, this made Karyu a little frustrated, he didn't have many ideas, plus he didn't know if anyone would be willing to listen to an idea forged by a dragon, after thinking awhile, he came up with an idea, "I don't know if this idea could be interesting." he confessed, Sapphira giggled a little, which sounded adorable, "Well, i'm interested, so please say it." she said with a smile, "How about the smiths of the village forge a golden cup that is placed near the fountains of the village, so the poor may drink the water and give them the seconds to make them know what it feels like to be in the lives of the rich ones in the kingdom." suggested Karyu, by hearing this Sapphira quickly thought about it, "Poverty isn't really rare in our kingdom, so i think that Adam could do something like that." she said.
While the two dragons were discussing their ideals, Adam and Luke were silently watching though a balcony in the throne room, they quickly left before their dragons could realize their presence, Adam and Luke then went to the gardens of the castle to discuss, "Your dragon seems to be getting along with mine." said Adam with a smile, he never saw Sapphira be so happy around someone like Karyu, this made Luke smile, "My dragon has quite a charm, don't you think your majesty?" asked Luke, this made Adam laugh a little, "Yeah, he does have quite a strong charm." he said only to then sigh, "Luke, you're one of my most loyal knights in this kingdom." he said with a sad voice, this made Luke a little worried, "What's the matter your highness?" he asked, Adam bowed his head in sadness, "There was one thing that always plagued my thoughts, the fear that one day i might get assassinated or killed." he said, "I do not fear death but i'm afraid of what will happen to Sapphira, her heart will be broken." he finished, Adam at first wanted to have an heir to the throne but after an incident happend involving the cultists, his son and wife were killed, he looked at Luke with a serious look.
"Luke, when my time comes, you shall be the one to guide this kingdom, you shall be it's ruler." he said, by just hearing this, Luke's heart dropped, he didn't know anything about being a ruler, he does live in a rich and noble family but he never expected that he could become a ruler, Luke sighed in defeat, "I understand your highness." he said as they slowly went back to the throne room.
Meanwhile Karyu and Sapphira kept talking about ideals until their riders arrived back to the throne room, "Come on Karyu, let's go home." said Luke with a smile, Karyu quickly nodded, "Goodnight Sapphira." he said as he slowly went towards Luke and left the throne room with him.
Meanwhile Adam sat on his throne, Sapphira slowly went towards him and started being patted by him, "What did you speak with Karyu about?" he asked, Sapphira smilled a little, "We talked about the war and some of our ideals for the future of the kingdom." she said, this made Adam smile, "What idea did he have?" asked Adam, "He suggested to place golden cups near the fountains of the kingdom, so the poor ones may drink and have the seconds to feel like someone in a rich family." Sapphira quickly replied, Adam quickly started thinking, "Poverty isn't unusual in the kingdom, i guess that i could make the smiths forge something like that." he said, this made Sapphira smile.
Meanwhile, Karyu and Luke walked throughout the peaceful village in the middle of the night, "Where are we going now?" asked Karyu, this made Luke laugh, "Our home ofcourse!" he said, after minutes of walking they reached their home.
