Azel stirred, he was dreaming, but it seemed real... A lizard with red scales and long white wings was talking to him.
Son... It's been a while.
Dad?!
If you see me here... I'm dead, and you have inherited my powers. His tone of voice was sad, heartbroken even.
You're... Dead...? Dad! No! Azel ran forward, and embraced his now deceased father. I never got to know you...
Aden laughed, but it was bitter. I know. I wish I could've been with you, but I wasn't allowed. I'm truly sorry... Aden began to fade, then disappeared entirely, leaving Azel by himself. He fell to his knees and cried, long and hard.
