Xander's POV:
The vision in the leaves ends. I turn to face my father, with tears flowing down my cheeks. I was right, but I was wrong too. He was not a monster, to begin with, but has been turned into one.
"Who were you trying to save? I ask him. He turns away from me and walks back to his chair.
"Doesn't matter now," he croaks. "Bring me the girl," he commands.
"Father, I know they have done you wrong, but she is innocent. Do not judge her by the sins of her father," I plead.
"What do you think she will do when she learns the whole truth?" he questions.
Before I could say anything, he speaks again.
"You think she would give me her dragon's blood if I ask her nicely? She wouldn't. She would tell me the same crap that her parents did," he howls.
"We never tried asking her father, have we?" I snap.
"Now you think that you are smarter than me?" he stomps towards me.
"Listen boy, you do as I command or,"
"Or what, father? You will kill me too?" I yell back.
"Take him to the dungeons and chain him up," he calls on the soldiers.
