Dragon Unison: The King's Son

[Chapter 3] - Powers? Family? What?

Emmett noticed how he was shielding himself from the rain, he grew the grass to make a canopy above him. He made it so only a few drops would actually reach him.

Valkaria spoke as soon as Emmett could be in distance of hearing. "I know you're there."

"Of course I knew that."

"What do you want?" Valkaria asked, slightly annoyed that he was being disturbed.

"What is stopping you?" Emmett asked.

"Stopping me from what?" Valkaria answered with another question.

"Showing your power," Emmett responded, with his monotone voice.

"I can't even use them that well, so everything is stopping me."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Valkaria's voice got lower.

There was silence between the two for a while before Valkaria spoke again.

"I don't even know my parents, died when I was a baby. People tell me I'm related to the Dragon King, meaning that they hate me instantly." Emmett noticed his markings turning red. His power was linked to his emotions. "Meaning I'm constantly running out of everywhere so I can't even practice my God damn Fucking powers!" White fire shot out from his mouth and burned a small area of grass in front of him.

"You know..I knew your mother.." Emmett didn't know where he was going with this but as he said that Valkaria looked up at him, eyes swirling with confusion.

"W-what...how? Who was she?"

"She was my baby sister...." Emmett put emphasis on the word 'was.'

"Oh. What happened? Who killed her?" There was a murderous intent in Valkaria's eyes.

"Your father.."

"Do you know who my father is?" Valkaria asked him.

"I only know that The King is your father but I never got to meet him. But I know someone Who did get to meet him. She's in this colony right now." Emmett's voice got lower as he kept talking. He knew he shouldn't have said that.

"I... I really am related to him..." His markings turned black, as did his eyes. "Kill me... KILL ME!" Black fire spewed from his mouth as his claws ignited into black flames.

"N-No.."

"Why not? Why won't anyone just let my useless life end..."

"You're not useless.."

"How do you know..?" Valkaria questioned.

"The King wouldn't have let you escaped back then. He would have killed you first thing and would have made your mother watch. Then he would kill her after. Only since you escaped, he punished her and killed her after he found out about your escape."

"So I'm the reason my mom died and I never met her?" Emmett realized his poor choice of words.

"You weren't the reason why. "

Emmett sighed. "Look, that wasn't what I was trying to say at all. I'm sorry if I offended you."

"I'm not the reason? Everything you just said made it sound like I am." Valkaria sounded annoyed. 

"I'm sorry for what I said, Nothing ever comes out right whenever I speak. That wasn't what I was trying to say at all." Emmett breathed out in one sentence. 

"Just leave," Valkaria growled out.

Emmett lowered his head and walked back into the cave slowly. Valkaria watched him leave, anger coursing through his body. Emmett made his way back to Night.
