Also, Micheal needs to look into how they found out about the energy vein. This is a serious information leak, he might have a traitor on his hands. It’s quite possible they are planning to relaliate and capture Micheal and the regions, so they bought off one of his subjects as a spy.
Moet crazy part is that is part of the desser and not of the jungle so it HAS to be someone from Michaels territory or someone with high technology (like the nest has) that can make surveillance of large part of the origin expanse but by that point they shouldn’t be a ’weak’ race that needs micheals help..
I get that the valyr have run out of the criminals (which is quite realistic). And at least they are honerable enouge to not sacrifice the innocent. But it to me it seems feels that directly asking for energy stones on top of that is going to cause problems unless they can provide something useful. Not to mention the potential loss of trust… And they KNEW that micheal was a cursed child. And that he already unlocked some seals as a lower lifeform. so they should have known that he would grow a lot stronger when he becomes a higher lifeform. Shm..
