Memory 2

Memory Two
(Chapter 70.5)

Things to Note:

- All names have been redacted, but dragon titles are intact, so people can hear "Seiryuu" and Hakuryuu", etc. Also, he'll realize he calls his Granny...Granny. Same with his father of course.

Summary:

- Kija awakes to realize that his father is going to die that day. He can feel it through their dragon bond.
- He goes to his granny to ask if he can see him because it's been three months, but he is denied.
- No one can stop Kija and so he climbs the wall to sneak into his father's bedroom.
- There he realizes how thin and sickly his father is. He's wasted away, and his hand that once used to be a dragon's claw is gone now, too.
- His father hears someone and thinks it is their granny. Knowing that he doesn't have a lot of time left, he asks if he can finally see and possibly touch Kija now, for the first time since he was an infant. When no one responds, his father apologizes and says he's only ever trouble.
- Overwhelmed, Kija throws himself at his father and cries. His father is shocked, is able to speak his name once, and then dies.

Commentary:

- Ouch that was kind of painful and sad
- Granny doesn't let him see dad
- There are some drawbacks to dragon powers.
- Okay, so that is what his village looks like.
- Oh, he's also called Lord Hakuryuu. His father appears to be the former lord.

Effects:

This makes Kija realize a little more about the dragon power. It seems that when there is a new dragon, it slowly drains the power and life out of the former. That gives him something to think about. And after his last memory, he sees that his father was truly regretful about what happened as a child. He feels overall regretful toward his father.
