Griffins.
The moment they appeared, Lu'Card felt as though his Dragon's Pride was provoked.
The rivalry between Dragons and Qilins was well documented. There was simply no escaping that.
However, it could be said that the Dragons had a rivalry with anyone who tried to suppress them in any way.
The Qilins were existences who relied on the Judgment of the Heavens. For Dragons, who represented rebelling against the Heavens, this was a huge insult and unacceptable.
By comparison, the Griffins represented Order, structure, Sovereignty… they were antithetical to everything that the Dragons were as well.
Lu'Card was here for one reason and one reason only. He wanted to become the next Dragon Emperor.
After realizing that the world was far larger than he thought, he changed his goal from wanting to become a Dragon Emperor of the True Martial World to a Dragon Emperor of all worlds.
