When this is over, Lio will make it a point to find the dragons responsible for Galo's family's death, will find out as much as he can. Delayed or not, there should be justice if there can be. But for now, this step needs to be taken. It needs to be set right.
He meets Kray's gaze with an intensity that matches, fury and hatred that mirror Kray's. This man has hurt so many of his people, has extinguished so many flames that the world itself is darker for it. He will never forgive that.
That doesn't mean he's ready for the explanation or the new surge of raise that it raises. "You'd burn this world, ignite it on the ashes of my people to make your escape? You coward."
He can feel the magic rolling off Galo, and his own rises to join it, flashing like lightning on a distantly gathering storm. This world is not beyond saving. The flame that burns inside him is proof enough of that, the way Galo's forest reacts to its healer, the way he could feel it as they restored balance. This world is sick, but it is not beyond saving.
