The dragon spoke up, "My species of dragon does not take part in such parlor tricks! We get by on our blood, teeth and wings alone! Myself and Caim knew not of what this light was! I only knew that the battle taking place upon the offending isle was getting out of hand. That did not concern my partner or myself, so we left. For all we know, it could have been an explosion of some kind."
Caim chimed in after her, "Besides, how could we have avoided the light? It appeared suddenly and enveloped us without warning! The dragon is not at fault at all! Also, we thought the country was doing badly, with this 'Snake Princess' was trying to take over. The people of the islands were clearly unhappy with their country. No one wants a rebellion, and is able to gather that large of a force, without having a great amount of malcontent for the country in question!"
