"It takes everything I have just to keep these doors locked," Girsha sighed, his massive chest rising and falling with weariness. "And it's getting harder. Some of the doors had already been forced open before I arrived… and sealing them again has pushed my strength to its very limits."
Zhao Li Xin knew which door he mentioned, "I heard about the Azure Dragon, named Evereth, and his connection to Lazarus," Zhao Li Xin said evenly.
Girsha fell silent for a long moment, his emerald eyes dim with thought. "You told Lory about this, didn't you?"
"I did," Zhao Li Xin replied simply.
"What did she feel about it?" Girsha asked, his voice softer now.
"Not much… you know how she is," Zhao Li Xin answered, his tone carrying quiet concern. "But I think she's conflicted. A part of her might pity the Black Dragon… but another part of her will never forgive what it did to her father and uncles."
