Dean finally understood what happened to make both the Dread and that Ascendant to be bound forever. It was something hidden in their past that started with that final challenge, the final act of an era of terror and hopelessness.
The boy was surprised that such a story was behind the scenes of the Three Greatest. Probably, it was a milestone that nobody talked about. Dean never heard about it from school or his father, not even his uncle who told him about the most reckless things.
In truth, the boy didn't know anyone who ever hinted something about the tough past of Saphyr post-Crimson Apocalypse.
Dean always lived in a fantasy world where the rough times were just in the first years of Saphyr after the Crimson Apocalypse, but he was mistaken. Within that period of seven centuries, all the people living in that country needed to suffer and struggle. After all, Dreads were always developing and getting stronger under the nose of everyone.
