_{“better men than you have tried and failed so yeah, I’m sure.” his allegiance has only been given once and once was more than enough. it doesn’t matter what Ky’lar does to him – he can drop him in another volcano for all he cares – he’s still not going to win. the only weapon capable of killing him has already been destroyed and there’s no way to get your hands on another. he may be his father’s son but he’s not dumb. “I wouldn’t be so arrogant; not even you can achieve the impossible.”}

_{“oh, i’m quite sure that i could try.” even if he ultimately failed to do so, he would have attempted it, and more than likely found out what didn’t work. “i mean, it’s not arrogance, caleb. it’s more that…i’m capable of several things – sometimes, you just don’t know them until the time is right.” not that it mattered – ky was very close to just throwing him in the pit, but this time… he wasn’t going to take him out. no, he’d let him stay here, and then decide what to do when he had a clear head. “you can be sure about that.”}
