"So, Asper. I know I might be asking for a lot, but I still need your acknowledgement. I don't mean it in bad faith either. Let's do something nice, maybe an arm wrestling contest, or perhaps some blackjack?"
Asper's expression soured.
"I have a daughter to get back to. Cease your foolishness and go back to your tribe, Fate Dragon."
Rael let out a sigh.
"Come on, can't you just say, 'I acknowledge you?' I need to reach Tier 5 in my dragon heart."
A look of understanding appeared on Asper's face.
But deep down, it still seemed like he was unwilling to break any of the rules.
"I apologize. You may be stronger than me, but I do have my integrity. Why not try the Nature Dragons? If you satisfy one of them, they might just give you the acknowledgement you seek."
