"You find a common goal."
Veylara answered, smiling at Kael.
"A common goal…?"
"Indeed.
When your common goals align, you automatically become allies."
Veylara then gave an example,
"If you think about it naively, then yours and Drakthar's common goal would be to save Nerathis, so Drakthar is your ally.
Of course, that is only on the surface—there are many layers to it. Drakthar isn't a single entity—it's a web of factions, each with its own goals."
"How do I find people with the same goal as me?"
Veylara chuckled at that question.
"Do you even have a goal yet?"
"…"
Kael said nothing.
"What is your goal?
To save Nerathis?"
Kael nodded, lying again.
"Why? Because you are a Hero?"
Veylara laughed.
"…"
Again, Kael remained silent.
"Your goal shouldn't be saving Nerathis or anything grander, Hero. You are just a child who was pulled into this mess.
Your main goal should be to survive."
"…are you sure you should be saying this?"
