"But one thing is certain: those who bear it are the natural enemies of the Celestial Dragons."

"Throughout history, the Celestial Dragons have launched more than one bloody purge against them."

For eight hundred years, the Nefertari family had lived as Celestial Dragons. They had never embraced that way of life, choosing instead to live on their own terms.
