The Dragon Feast at Montero Ore Town was as lively and successful as it could be, which was why the White Dragon Mofei, cradling his scratched head in the arms of his Drow mother, Kraidian, was crying just as bitterly:
"Mom! You have to stand up for me! Look how horribly those cruel guys beat me up! OHH!"
He was like the watchdog next door on New Year's, expecting a grand meal, only to have its bowl snatched by a gang of mischievous kids to set off firecrackers. After yelping twice, it got kicked and ended up wailing, tears streaming down its face.
Watching the nincompoop Mofei being held and softly consoled by his mother, Kraidian—who couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry—Alfonse, the Black Dragon, was so consumed with envy that he nearly went mad on the spot!
