From the very beginning, the moment he saw Tears of the Fallen in that book, Kael had always had a question in his mind:
— How to make a dragon cry in pain?
It seemed like a possible task.
After all, dragons in Tower of Glory were portrayed as extremely powerful creatures.
Both in strength and mental.
But, the moment he met Mavis, he found his answer.
She had a son named Durin.
That meant she was a mother.
And even though Kael didn't have a mother, he could put himself in her shoes.
And then, he figured out the best way to obtain Tears of the Fallen, to force Mavis to cry in pain.
— Just kill the son she loved and that would be it.

Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
That was all that remained in Mavis's mind as blood gushed out from Durin's chest.
Why did the world treat her like this?
Why was her happiness always destroyed like this?
First it was the husband that Mavis loved.
And now it was Durin, her beloved son?
Mavis really couldn't protect anything.
