Merging thoughts

The trio all stewed in silence, each swallowed by their thoughts. The obsidian serpent couple wallowed in grief and endless regret wishing they could turn time back and arrive even a second earlier to prevent the death of their daughter.

Every waking moment since the death of their daughter, Bai Zhen has spent thinking if he could have done things differently. The things he would change given the chance.

A few days ago before he had been taken by the member of the Beast Hall of the Order, one of his biggest regrets was having his daughter undergo the evolution into a flood dragon. There was no doubt in his mind that she had been targeted because of it. He was filled with endless regret and pain for allowing it, and a bit of that regret even boiled to resentment and anger towards the Fire Adler Bear for even suggesting it to him.
