King of Dragons turned its head and looked at Zeke. “It's you again. Why are you here? We have nothing to do with each other.”
Zeke sighed and said, “I need your help with a small matter. I want to forge a divine weapon, and I need your fire seed to assist me...”
“Get lost!” King of Dragons roared in anger. “The fire seed is mine, and no one is allowed to take it! I won't help you, never!”
“I just need your fire seed to help me forge a divine weapon. I won't use it for anything else,” Zeke assured.
“That's not possible!” King of Dragons was extremely agitated. “I will never agree.”
“Have you forgotten the favor I did for you when I saved your life? If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago...” Zeke tried to reason with it.
“Don't waste your breath on me,” King of Dragons retorted bluntly. “I will never help you.”
The man sighed again and lamented, “Okay, I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Even if you disrespect me, you should at least do this old friend a favor.”
“Old friend? What old friend?” King of Dragons scoffed. “Hmph, my old friends have all betrayed me. I want to kill them all.”
“No, this old friend didn't betray you,” Zeke said.
King of Dragons grew curious and asked, “Who is it?”
“Him,” Zeke replied, releasing a strand of Quinlan's spiritual consciousness.
King of Dragons stared intently at Quinlan, lost in thought.
“You look a little familiar. Who are you?” it asked.
Quinlan replied, “King of Dragons, you are truly a forgetful one. Think carefully. It was I who helped you when you swallowed the spirit pill and couldn't digest it...”
Suddenly, King of Dragons exclaimed, “Toilet paper, you are my toilet paper! I never thought you would still be alive.”
Color drained from Quinlan's face as he said, “That's uncalled for. We just met, and you exposed me like this. Why did you call me toilet paper? I'm embarrassed.”
