Snippet #2512485

"Pardon - ?!" Damian growled.

"May I?" Chanarong spoke up, coming in view of the mirror. "If it is what we fear it is, then those monsters are also coming from Arsenal Cove. That's where another of the binding keys was, wasn't it? But, I understand if you'd rather disillusion everyone over there..."

It's then that Camilia ran in, sweat glazing her forehead.

"D-Damian! Chan! We got trouble!"

"Yeah, I know," Damian muttered, having calmed down a bit. "This man won't listen to a lick of reas - "

"Those monsters destroyed Rarofiore!" Camilia said urgently.

"(!) ... {to Uldritch} You hear that? Those monsters destroyed one of our own cities! {to Camilia} What are the casualties...?"

"Well..." Camilia couldn't finish that sentence. The other three dragons present could tell that this meant the casualties were too high to bear.

"Try to process this, Senator - why would we unleash monsters poised to kill as many of our people as possible?" Chanarong asked. "That hardly makes sense, if you ask me."

"Senator..." Camilia said to Uldritch, "at the rate these creatures are spawning, all of Coronach will be devastated in a matter of weeks! Do you really think we'd destroy our own nation? Even to throw a false blame?!"

"I think...we'll continue this at the meeting of world leaders tomorrow," Damian said, leering a bit to Uldritch's side. "You WILL be there, right? Taiyomashi Temple? Because we all will be there."

"..." Chayton felt a bit left out in this conversation.
