In this chapter, we learn that the son of the Fire Dragon King, igneel, treated the boy like his own son. The boy is a pure dragon, not a human like his father. We learn that even the Water Dragon God, Els, is a human. Els is a kind of martyr for his son's death, since he will never see him again. The other five dragon gods, the Five Dragon Gods, have also fled from acnologia, the god of fear, 400 years ago. They have stayed in the area as the five dragons ever since, and they have defeated even the feared Acnologia. Now Els wants to test his own strength against mercophobia, the fear of the water dragon. He tells the boy to use his power against the mercphobe. He asks the boy if he knows the guy who told him to eat the "great idea." Els says he doesn't know, but he does know that the guy said he has to eat "those great idea" . He says he's burning with the power of the fire, and he can feel the fire's power. He throws the fire over his shoulder.
