It made sense, but it couldn't be right.
How could Kel's Uncle Itzae, the old man whose voice still annoyingly guided her inner thoughts, be the same person who created the Dragon Emperor?
"He still has ties to The Yellow Marguerite, however," Lila continued her explanation. "Which must be why Soren got confused."
"Oh, that's right," Kel replied quietly. "He told me the Dragon Emperor is more or less one of these people."
"No," Lila responded firmly. "His parents were both born here, but he is not one of us. A person's belonging isn't just about their genetic lineage."
"Ah, ok."
Kel was getting even more confused. Soren had mentioned that the Dragon Emperor was seen as an outcast among the people of Subterra, but did they go so far as to deny his Subterran blood?
