Craig stays silent for a moment, clearly considering my offer.
"I have a counter offer." He remarks.
"What?" I ask, impatient.
"Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will become my dark soldier. I will be your commander, and you will listen to me, and only me. Loyal to the dragons. You'll execute anything I ask of you. You will no longer see your family. Rather you will help the Dragons with anything we ask of you." Craig commands.
I know that this is a bad idea. But I don't have another choice. If submitting to the Dragons will guarantee their safety, there really isn't any other option.
"I will agree to your terms, as long as you promise their safety. You can't go after Xavier or the Scorpions."
Craig takes a moment to ponder the new terms.
"I agree to your terms." Craig
