Cain frowned as he heard Zalgrim's words, his eyes sharpening. Initially, he thought there would be no issue with not being a trueborn dragon. After all, Eldrick had extended the invitation to join the Tiamat Sect and showed no problem with his human identity. But it seemed he had underestimated the challenges ahead.

Zalgrim continued, his voice crackling with electricity and disdain. "Someone who's killed members of the Sun Church deserves a bloodline on the spot! And you, Eldrick, you're holding out like some miser!"
