Drake: we need your help in the war Sal your kingdom is in danger too you realize that right? You think Lucien didn't have opposition? It's called Assassins from the empire
Lyra: Drake... I think.... The kings offer is a good one. He has millions of supplies that you could find useful
"And I offered you all the help I could at the moment. Lucien practically destroyed this land with his tyranny. I cannot spare troops with all the uprisings and I myself have a wife to look after. Again I've offered all the supplies and equipment you need and money."
"Do you think I am so blind to not already be doing that? Where do you think the uprisings are coming from?"
Drake: what we are offering to you is a dragon and support to help fight the empire presence in this continent and in exchange you helping us in our war when your war is over you are a dragon rider and it is your duty
-My eyes and hair turn to fire as anger builds- "I have offered you more than enough! Whatever war your continent is having I cannot spare anything else!! I'm busy keeping stability in my own! I will give you one last chance to accept my offer! Supplies, money, and equipment."
