Then, he reached the Third Energy Level.
And never returned.
—This is a disgrace.
Kord always thought so. He thought, if someone else became the Dragon God's Emissary, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. If a Mountain Person of the Third Energy Level was willing to return from The Empire and lead them back to glory, then what harm was there?
Yes, he wanted to become the Dragon God's Emissary, but making life better for his tribe was the true goal.
Since he could not reach the Third Energy Level, there were other ways to improve the lives of his people. However, the Mountain Tribe had long saturated every corner of the mountains. Kord looked around and realized there wasn't a single stretch of land where he could make a difference—the increasingly large population of the Mountain People had become an issue. Without relying on the food from The Empire, the Mountain People could hardly sustenance themselves.
