What Kyran thought after the second spar match ended had been accurate. All tribes that sent spar requests before the spar match started until that day sent a withdrawal request. The decision to withdraw came not from the talent nor their patriarchs but from their tribe elders.
Their reasons were the same. They recognized the magic Kyran used during the free-for-all and did not want their tribe's young talents to be exposed to it.
Kyran's Chaos magic might not be as powerful as Coelus's, but the trauma the elders endured because of it was so deeply ingrained in their memories, and they could not stand the thought of their young talents experiencing it.
In addition to the withdrawal requests, Aillos received letters demanding an explanation of why he allowed someone who had the potential to awaken Coelus's corpse in the Dragon plane. These letters also came from the tribe elders who knew about Coelus's corpse sealed underground.
