~Reawakening of Ryu~

[Clyde]

Flying had always been an escapade for me, a kind of freedom that I was blessed with or rather cursed with. I had never been grateful even after mom preached and lectured me about my good luck of being able to summon my dragon whenever I wanted to, which hadn’t happened in the last 100 years. The Elders couldn’t summon their dragons more often, my parents couldn’t either but then I was born and when I first met my dragon, everyone was in awe that I could do so without them performing any summoning ritual.

It had served as an escape later when I was subtly mocked and taunted by the children of my age, not outright, but I just knew. Even now, it’s acting as a way to clear my mind. But Fionna’s pained face and Valerie’s furious gaze keeps coming back. What mom said to Fionna was insensitive. She couldn’t even stop herself from tearing up this time. My nostrils flared at the thought.

Valerie…I did not do the right thing. My emotions keep getting out of hand. It’s a good thing,
