"Then who might these lovely, beautiful young girls be?"
Tut looked toward Theresa and the others, then glanced at Apep, the Dendro Dragon King, who stood in the corner silently shutting herself away.
But a moment later, his pupils abruptly contracted. What had he just seen?!
"Tut, what's wrong?"
Heryshaf, the King of Sheep, and Sobek, the King of Crocodiles, noticed something was off with Tut and hurried over to ask.
"I... I'm not seeing things, am I...?"
"Could it be... could you be...?!"
Utterly stunned, Tut raised a finger and pointed at the two dragon-horned youths, one white-haired and one red-haired, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.
"Th-this...! That can't be!"
"There are actually other Dragon Sovereigns besides the Dendro Dragon King!"
At Tut's prompting, Sobek, the King of Crocodiles, noticed Xolotl and his younger brother. His mouth trembled in fright, and even his words began to stumble. Where had his earlier composure gone?
"This is very unnatural..."
Heryshaf, the King of Sheep, also rubbed his eyes in disbelief and stared wide-eyed at the Dragon King sisters.
"I am the Dragon King, Xolotl. This is my dear younger brother, Kukulkan."
"I had already perished and lain dormant within a volcano. Thanks to the help of the Stellaron Hunters, my younger brother and I were granted new life."
"And there is no need for such alarm. The age of Dragonkind has passed, and Nibelung is gone. We must look toward a new future, must we not?"
Xolotl's words made Apep stare at him in disbelief.
"No! This isn't how it should be! The Heavenly Principles is asleep now, and we've regained all our power. We should join forces and attack, slaughter the Four Shadows of the Heavenly Principles, and bring Celestia crashing down!"
"Don't forget the glory of Dragonkind, Xolotl!"
