"We will help; he only needs to open his mouth when," he replied. He seemed to have recalled something. "The King of Megaris is not a fool. In his absence, he left a counter of his own and built a barrier between the borders of Megaris and Thevailes using his powers. His magic is of the darkness attribute no inferior in quality as mine, though the spell structure is a bit simple in my opinion."

"Hah. You are an old Dragon. You should praise a youngling for doing a great job without as much experience as you do. Besides, is there a need to be surprised that you have similar kinds of powers? You are both Dragons."

"It's not like that. You and Aureus, the same blood flows between you, but your powers are merely similar but not the same. Even if you compare yourself to other gray eagles of your kind, do you feel that your essences are the same as theirs, as if you have been made from the same origins?"

Morpheus was staring at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "You know as well as I do that each being, each creature with magic, has a unique essence. Even the naive Ember should have learned this basic principle by now. Well, I am not sure how things work for Dragons, but are you seriously asking me this?"

However, Morpheus could no longer make fun of Draven because the man had a serious no-nonsense expression on his face.

"Our dark energy feels as if they are crafted from the same origin but different in some ways. I could not put it well into words... but there is really something, as if I am connected to Drayce Ivanov in some way...

"It's hard to say more when we are the only two Dragons in existence."

Morpheus studied Draven's grave expression; however, he pointed out one crucial fact.

"Root resonance," the shapeshifter said. "You already said it: you and Drayce Ivanov are the only known living Dragons in the continent. Deeper than bloodline resonance ought to be the fact you have the same roots as members of the same race. If you believe your connection is deeper than simply being both dragonkin, then you should go meet that young Dragon and seek answers from him."

Draven could only nod in response, but it was obvious he was lost in his own thoughts.

Silence embraced the cave tunnel as neither beast said another word. After some time, Morpheus let out a soft sigh before gesturing that they head back to the cliff at the peak. Draven turned away from the eagle, his eyes holding a strange flicker in them as he looked at the sky in a daze.

'The same roots...'

After leaving the entrance of the cave, the two men sat side by side on the ridge, their movements easy and familiar, as if they had returned to the time back when they were still comrades.

"Let me guess," Morpheus said, breaking the silence first. "You are curious about the existence of other Dragons."
