Everyone arrived at the garden of the palace, where another red-eyed man and his mate were waiting for them. In a moment, Aureus landed there as well.
"I didn't expect you to personally welcome us, Draven," Evanthe commented.
"I was simply taking a stroll outside with my mate," Draven countered. "But since he is your son and family, I'll let you think I'm here to welcome them."
"I shall be grateful that the King of Agartha holds me and my family in such high regard, even if it was by coincidence," Evanthe replied with a mocking chuckle before turning to her son. "Don't mind his rudeness. With thousands of years passing by, he's forgotten the basic human courtesy. Think of this place as ours, except for that main palace building ahead—which is that rude dragon's nest."
