Back in the pack, we find out that the black dragon never resumed his form after his "growth spurt" , and that he was a fake. Heiwu is also a fake, because he too was greedy for the company of the dragon. He tells us that the dragon has destroyed a lot of the settlements and the armies that had been sent to suppress the dragon were also destroyed. Thinking about it, he says that the reason the dragon gave for killing all of this was that he wanted to protect his master. He says that even if he were to die, he would still be able to return to life.
