Dragon Island, without the protection of the Dragon God, was at risk of ruin at any moment.
His Majesty the Silver Dragon King, acting both publicly and privately, had by his own strength maintained the last dignity of all the clans and averted an ugly coup. He had also preserved as much of the Metal Dragons' power as possible, leaving a valuable political fortune for his own Brandle Vincent family and daughter.
Each Metal Dragon clan leader, in their own way, owed the Brandle Vincent family a tremendous dragon favor.
And perhaps, this was also a strategy uniquely suited to Metal Dragons—or rather, beings of the lawful good alignment like Gold and Silver Dragons.
As the saying goes, "Together they are a bonfire, scattered they are stars across the sky."
One day, should circumstances change, Alicia could summon a Metal Dragon army with these clan tokens at her fingertips.
It was also a way to maintain, in a roundabout way, her father's legacy.
