Chapter 6: Persia City
"What am I going to do with you?" Jack—now Raiden—brushed his hand against the dragon’s head, staring into its blue eyes as it sat on the table, just before it suddenly tried to bite its tail.
"You remind me of him," he said, wearing a faint smile.
When Jack was four, he’d run into a stray cat on a rainy night just beyond the walls of his house. He already knew what his parents’ reaction would be, so—with his deceased twin brother, Jobe—they hid it and cared for it. They named it Ash.
Unfortunately, Ash didn’t last long. The moment their parents found it, they killed it.
From the moment Jobe died, his entire existence was erased from the Grim family. In truth, the only thing that remained was his face—and all Jack had to do was look in the mirror to see him again.
But now, even that had been taken from him.
"I think I’ll call you Ash."
