"The throne room of the Dragon Keep was in pin drop silence, the only sound being the slow tapping of the Dragon King's fingers on the arm of his throne.
His countenance had all the Dragon Lords completely silent, and the chilling aura he exuded had all within the hall standing at full attention.
Tap... tap... tap...
Each tap echoed across the throne room more loudly that it should have, and the Dragon Lords quietly awaited King Jian to break the silence.
No one dared speak first and no one wanted to, a dragon lord had been harmed, it was not a matter King Jian would take lightly.
Worse, it was not just any dragon lord but Lord Menarx of Ruby Scales, brother and aide to the dragon king.
The Dragon King was known to be a man of few words, before ever he spoke, each word would deliver a point or he would not speak at all.
