Hearing his words, Derik was stunned. He finally understood why the shadow dragons were reduced to such a pathetic level. Not only were they weakened but the other dragon clans never gave them the chance to recover! They are victims of circumstances and not the weaklings Derik expected them to be.
He assumed that the eggs on each of the structures harbored the injured ancestors of each clan but this one had the least aura. While the others had enough power of faith to heal their injuries, the shadow dragons were lacking in this aspect. It was only a matter of time before they disappear from existence!
"Now I understand... Allow me to apologize for overreacting earlier... I just find it irritating when weaker life forms are at the top of the food chain" Derik said calmly.
