Cain flew alongside Zalgrim and Eldrick, their massive forms moving with graceful speed toward the heart of the Tiamat Sect's stronghold. As they entered the colossal castle, Cain was struck by its simplicity. There were no useless paintings or ornate decorations, just vast, functional halls and chambers.
Each space inside the castle had a purpose, and none were wasted. It was clear to Cain that the dragons of the Tiamat Sect placed no value on ostentatious displays of wealth or luxury and did not waste time trying to show off their might. They prided themselves on power and purpose—traits that resonated deeply with Cain's own nature, making a faint smile appear on the scarlet dragon's face.
The castle was so vast that, despite being a nine-thousand-meter-tall dragon, it still took Cain several minutes of flight to reach the main hall. There were no gates blocking the entrance, only a layer of impenetrable darkness that made it impossible to see inside.
