Elmar's wings started to retreat as he touched down on the garrison's city wall. His tail and scales also retreated and his horns shortened.
"Your Highness, I'm assuming the talk didn't go well" said a woman in a thick fur coat, as she approached Elmar from one of the towers. The woman had draconian features, however, she lacked the classic feature of draconian scales under the eyelids.
"Eliza, why ask a question, when you already know the answer." Muttered the Draconian Crown prince Elmar, as his transformation back to normal form completed.
The woman named Eliza looked at the crown prince, his bare chest full of wounds. She Immediately handed him the leather robe she had prepared in advance. Elmar looked at the wounds he sustained from Ukara's sword, the frost essence preventing them from fully healing, he grabbed the robe and put it on.
"She defeated me in open combat. Her spiritual path was supposed to be at the incarnation realm like me. But somehow she managed to leapfrog the avatar realm and directly reached the transformation realm in one go. It should be impossible." Stated Elmar, his voice full of confusion.
"Your highness, according to our spies in Frost City, Ukara once again visited the inheritance grounds of her ancestor, The Path Walker Halfrist. The first time she went in, she gained the Frost Dragon Shard, perhaps this time she gained something left by Halfrist, related to the Spiritual path." Said Erika in a nonchalant tone.
"Whatever she gained from there increased her strength immensely. If I want to make her mine, I must succeed the throne, and gain the ancestors blood inheritance. What is the current state of my siblings." Asked the Prince.
"The forth prince is currently headed towards the Goliath desert on a fool's errand, and the 3rd prince and 2nd princess are still in the royal capital. However, the fifth prince has disappeared, he was last heard from during his trip to the Lantian Ocean." Replied Erika.
"Send someone to the Goliath desert, I want to know what 4th brother is up to, and tell our spies in the capital to keep track of the whereabouts of my two siblings, and who they meet. As for fifth brother, leave him be, he has never been interested in the throne." Said Elmar as he turned towards the central spire.

In a large room, paved with stone and lit with hundreds of candles, sat a young woman. She was seated on mat in the very center of the room, her breathing heavy, blood trickling from the corner of her lips.
"Uhhh" blurted Ukara as she felt an intense pain ripple through her spiritual core.
