Lu'card was left behind, standing proudly on the mountain peak without a single utterance. He stared down the Bone Serpents as though he was giddy for them to attack. 

Unlike Ryu, he knew the full story. Well… at least the full story with respect to Sacrum. But he had a feeling that overall, the situation wasn't much different elsewhere. 

What was more interesting to him was how the same thing could happen again and again, across different worlds. It spoke to something more… sinister almost, even if that underlying current was actually helping out his Dragon Race instead of the scale-less lizards. 

Lu'card grinned, a toothy spread of sharp canines glistened in the darkness. 

Then, with a step, he launched himself into the air, vanishing into the clouds above.
