When Soren and Claudia were freed from prison, they rejoined with Lepidolite, and all three of them walked down the hall to Viren's cell to visit him together.

Claudia: I'm so glad to see you safe. What happened, Dad? Why are you down here?

Viren: While I tried to unite the five kingdoms against Xadia, the Council was more concerned that I broke a few rules along the way. But none of that matters. The egg, did you get it?

Claudia: It's not an egg anymore. It's hatched.

Viren: It hatched? That dragon will become the most powerful creature in the world, and you've let it fall back into Xadia's hands?

Claudia: But, Dad, Soren could've died.

Viren: That doesn't matter!

Claudia: Dad?

Viren: I do not mean to be cruel. But we must be ready to sacrifice. Even the things we love. I would have asked you to choose the egg over my life, if it came to it. Do you understand? Everything I do, and everything I ask of you, is for the future of humanity.

Lepidolite: Is that why you told Soren to kill the princes?
