Lith stood up and gave Faluel a deep bow that she accepted with a graceful nod of her head.

"Then I hope that my next request doesn’t come out as rude as it sounds to my own ears." She said with a sigh.

"What do you need?" Lith asked.

"Information. I have heard a lot about you from Scarlett and Protector, but you’ve never told me about yourself. As you know, I’m soon going to ask you to prove your wisdom. Wisdom is not intelligence, there is no clear-cut test for it.

"What’s wise for some, others might consider it foolish. To give you a mission on which we think alike, I need to know you better. I want you to tell me about your life, your goals, your ideals, everything you think I should know about you." Faluel said.

"This might take a while." Lith sighed.

Faluel conjured two comfortable armchairs, hot tea, and plenty of pastries. The Hydra did all she could to put him at ease yet Lith needed two cups of tea before opening up to her.

Griffon Kingdom, Xedros the Wyvern’s lair.

The First Wyvern lived on the top of the Golden Crown mountain, near the south border of the Kellar region. It was a peak so high that it was always surrounded by clouds that, whenever there was a storm, thunders would paint its glaciers a golden color, giving the mountain its name.

Xedros’s cave was hidden by a thick cloud layer generated by one of the many protective arrays that the Beast Lord of the Region had set around his home, yet such trick couldn’t hinder the foresight of the Eyes of Menadion.

Usually, the mana imbued within the mystical clouds would keep techniques like Life Vision from finding the entrance to the lair, but to Scarlett the Scorpicore’s pince-nez the entirety of the underground cave system appeared as clear as the day even while she still looked at it from outside.

Xedros was much older than her and allegedly the best Light Master in the Griffon Kingdom. The Scorpicore had come to him looking for answers, yet what she saw raised even more questions.

’Even though Xedros is known to be more a trickster than a deceiver, I can’t trust him. I’m not even a lesser Dragon so his greed might get the better of his sympathy.’ Scarlett thought.

She took her Council amulet out of her dimensional item and informed several of her friends about her position. That way, if anything happened to Scarlett, her disappearance wouldn’t go unnoticed.

She grinned at the sight of Xedros snarling in contempt while looking at her via his surveillance system, unaware that the Eyes of Menadion allowed her to do the same. Scarlett kept her Emperor Beast form that rivaled that of the Hydra in both physical might and aerial maneuverability.

"What do you want?" Xedros’s voice held no warmth as he replied to the unexpected visitor knocking on his array.

"Nice to meet you too, Xedros. We need to talk about Council business." After a few seconds with no answer, she added:

"Are you going to open the door, or do you want me to call Feela?" Mentioning the name of the Behemoth leader of the beast Council struck more than one nerve.

Xedros considered himself a Dragon and as such, he held in contempt all other species of Emperor Beasts. Yet the ones he hated the most were those who came from a Guardian’s bloodline as well.
