Ghirslak the Wyvern, the new patriarch of the Wyvern bloodline, took his time flying back home from the umpteenth Council meeting since his election.

‘I hope that wherever you’ve gone after your death, you are paying for your crimes, Father.’ Ghirslak snarled, a puff of smoke and fire erupting from his nostrils. ‘With your madness, you have destroyed the reputation of your clan and no one trusts us Wyverns anymore.

‘No one wants to buy our Origin Flames now and because of that, we lack the means to buy ingredients and acquire powerful equipment. Everywhere we go we are treated as deranged traitors. Didn’t you worry about us before joining Thrud, Father, or did you just not care?’

Ghirslak had become the new patriarch because he was a self-Awakened who had also reached the bright violet core and mastered Origin Flames. Also, he was the only one who still prided himself on his species enough to shoulder that burden.

The role of patriarch came with a few perks and the residence was one of them. Thrud had cleaned up Xedros’ treasury and library before leaving but she couldn’t take the arrays away with her.

With their previous owner dead and as the new patriarch, Ghirslak had imprinted the arrays and made them his own. Over time, he had learned them all and added a few of his own creation.
