Kray focuses on Galo. “You’ve seen the destruction they cause.” He says as if Lio hadn’t said anything at all. He spreads his hands to gesture around them. “You personally know it more than any of us.”
Galo’s face is impassive. “You’re right, I do. But no one knows why the dragon killed them. And dragons are as individual as humans. Answer him.” He says, his hands at his sides. All his usual postures and demeanor is gone for now. He has to be the earth’s voice.
Kray growls and it doesn’t sound quite right. “Answer him, Major Kray Foresight, leader of the Foresight foundation.” He had never meant to use it, but using the Voice that comes from being judgement comes out of him. It sounds like the deep echo of sounds in the deep places of the earth. Flames crackle and wind snaps within that voice.
Kray stares at him and anger flashes in the depths of his shocked eyes. But he swings his gaze to Lio and hatred burns there. A glimmer of it like a spark being struck. His fingers open and close reminiscent of claws. “We drain them in rituals. We’re working on making a gateway to a new dimension for a chosen number of people. We will leave this world to its death.”
Galo’s hands close into fists and the very earth shakes under their feet. Kray snaps his gaze to him in shock and this time Galo’s voice is the depths of water, quiet and cold, almost too still in how he shapes the words. “So, instead of trying to fix things you spill blood and build a new life on the bones of your victims?”
His magic bears out of its restraints and fills the room, more and more of it pouring out as his eyes glow. “There are better ways!”
“This is the only way! Do you think I haven’t tried anything else?” Kray fires back as his voice rises and that growl is back. Unearthly and like the creak of bellows.
