I couldn't sleep that night when Garrl told me his dream: "a kobold nation." I know it's very ambitious; besides, changing the way a people think is not easy, but you have to start somewhere.

  I questioned whether this was the reason for my being here, to help Garrl; honestly, I don't know and I don't think anyone will answer me, but it's a great dream; sincerely, on my part, I just thought I would find the village and see if I could adapt, investigate, and try to help in whatever way I could; of course, all that depending on what happened after telling Garrl the truth about my previous life; I almost told him when we were talking, especially when he said he trusted me, but I don't want him to hate me, I want to be by his side and see how far he can go or, rather, how far we can go. I know he has shown me great maturity, but I know he still hates humans; and how can I blame him.

  - Tell me, Breigon, do you think Garrl's dream is possible?

  - Great ancestor! …………………. Well, to be honest, it's something that where I come from doesn't happen overnight, but it is possible.

  - I understand ……………….. Honestly, I don't want to interfere in the decisions my descendants make; I think we've already done enough by inheriting our pain and hatred, and that, where did it lead us? To almost oblivion. If it weren't for you and Garrl, Orgarrl's legacy would have been forgotten……………….. Look, Breigon, there are many things you don't know. The war against the humans was terrible; they did us a lot of harm, but I won't deny that we did too. Hearing Garrl has made me question many things, but it is not easy to forget or forgive; I will help you as much as I can, but it is you who must prove, as you have done until today, that you are worthy of your lineage.

  - Thank you, great ancestor, I know Garrl will appreciate your support in whatever way you can in his dream.

  - Listen, it's not right to lie to your brother, it's not good for him or for you, but your concern is valid. I know you didn't ask to be here and I know you've lost a lot and don't want to lose more; I won't tell you what to do, I'll just tell you that I understand you and that you shouldn't blame yourself for being afraid.

  - Thank you ……………… truly thank you ……………, I just, …………………thank you, great ancestor.

  - Drazird, that is my name, and I recognize you, Breigon, and Garrl, for the effort you have shown up to today. They are worthy of their lineage and I hope they manage to make a change; but first, we must complete this seal, so I will bequeath part of my knowledge to you, although it will be in the way you teach Garrl, since the ritual is not made for humans, and we won't take the risk of seeing what happens with a kobold with human essence, right? So, pay attention: this is the structure of the magic seal and this is what you need to add, because you are already ready.

  How did I end up recognizing this human? I, the great Drazird, but ………………………. All this time he has only tried to understand, adapt, and help; I have seen him suffer and still rise; he accepted himself as a kobold, without forgetting his former humanity. Since he hatched, I could see his essence and I hated it; I thought it was a cruel joke of fate that I ended up with him, but I believe it has a purpose. Kirkarrg knew it or at least made a good bet; I have seen how his influence has changed Garrl and strengthened him. I still don't trust his ideas that come from a human world that, although not our world, is still human; however, I can't deny that they are partly useful.

  Breigon, I don't know why you are here, but I do know why I am here and I hope we both share the same path. Just this once, I will trust a human and only you; I will watch your growth and that of Garrl; and I hope you prove yourselves worthy of your lineage for the good of all kobolds.
