The Dragon King smiled, before wrapping a wing around the Nymph Queen. "And I have that thought quite often as well. The secret? Realizing that while you can want to help, there is little we can do that don't require others to help with. Yes we could raise enough quality stone to build a new city, and then shape stone it into a city, but there is no plumbing, no supplies for living, nothing they will need to survive there, let alone live. Yes we could go and energize the lands, sow the fields, and grow enough food to feed everyone in the nation for a year in a day with enough magic, but harvesting, distributing, and maintaining the food before it rots, let alone doing it enough to support even a city without killing the land, isn't something we can do. Besides, if we do everything with magic for them, there isn't a reason for them to try and do things, so they get fat, lazy, and entitled. The capital of Taldor is rife with parasites like that, and I refuse to let my people become like those wastes of space."<br/><br/>He gave a hug, before gesturing to the window, where a light snow storm was on display. "It is better they know we are here, ready to assist in their defense than to try and do more than we already do. Otherwise we might be exhausted when a threat only we can deal with shows up, and then who will help them?"
