Whoa. Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!! Lorca is actually Prince Alfor! The prince from an ancient empire centuries back. Now, that, IS SPLENDID. It's so interesting and it makes me really excited - like, how things are starting to unfold and really, although in the previous chapter, it mentioned his ancient eyes, but I thought it wasn't related much to the empire and dragons. But who knew. WHO KNEW?? (You of course) but I certainly did not. Ahhhh and at the last part, where he was like the gate just doesn't open for anyone omg I love where this is going XD

As usual, I love the way you described the scenes, the past and just everything about it - visualising them is fun and it feels like something hauntingly mesmerising about the way the ancient city were described. Keep up the excellent job! <3
