The hydra head took the opportunity to memorize who stood against Lunara and who hadn't, remembering the nine elders that were truly looking out for the people. Also, it was the first time that Raztol was able to find out who exactly was true to the causes they had been manifesting as elders.

Despite their difference of views, however, those nine proved to be the most loyal toward the hydra race.
