Within the entire council, apart from the heavy panting of the Black Dragon, there was not a peep.
The Burial Ground was the heaviest punishment for the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan had a unique cycle of life and death. When a dragon's life was at its end, the Dragon Tomb would send out a call, urging the dragon to quickly finish all unfinished deeds. Then, the dragon would fly to the Dragon Tomb itself. This was a huge tombstone located on some island where the dragon's soul would separate from its body. The knowledge within the soul would completely peel away and enter the Sky-top Library, merging into the collective knowledge of the Dragon Clan. Its soul, on the other hand, would enter a Dragon Egg, waiting for the next hatching.
The eggs of the Dragon Clan came from the Dragon Pool.
This was, in reality, one of the Giants' curses on the Dragon Clan.
