Chapter 41 - The promise

Ashur was screaming in pain his screams could be heard outside.

'Just accept me and everything will be okay.'

'GET OUT. This is not right.'

'if you fight it will be more painful, for both of us. '

"NO! Agrhhhhh." Ashur screamed loud in pain. He felt like his brain and his body were on fire.

His clothes were burning a little in some spots as his body twisted and turn, he screamed in pain, like he was burning from the inside out.

He kept screaming in pain, fighting back, at one point his screams and the dragon screams became one.

He had his father pendant in his hand while his body was burning.

He started to slowly lose consciousness... his mind went blank.

Ashur eyes opened up, he was no longer in the cave he was outside, there was grass under is body, he lift himself up. Looking around.

A familiar voice called him. "Ashur!" As he turned around he couldn't believe in what he saw, his father and his brothers coming to him.

"What are you doing there all alone? " asked his older Brother Franz.

"I was ..." He is voice was coming more high pitched than usual.

"Father was calling you for a long time." Said the second older Brother Darius.

'So I ended up dying hmmm'

"why you look so sorrowful, you little monster."

Ashur teared up. Seing his father and brothers.

"Why are you crying you little baby, I was just messing with you."

"I have missed you so much!"

"What are you talking about we're just a little ahead of you." Patting Ashur head .

Ashur notice how short his hair was, how little his hands were.

'Is this a dream? A memory? '

"Father? "

"Yes boy?" A gentle smile came of his father's lips.

"I don't know what is happening right now, I feel like I am dreaming... Or am I dead, did I finally join you father and my brothers" His voice became a little bit more mature.

"I hope not, I was hoping you would accomplish so much."

" But I failed, never managed to revenge you and my bothers death, nor I could keep everyone's safe."

"Son... What brings you here...??"

"I don't know..." Ashur had voice of an adult now. " I was trapped, and I couldn't save them, I just watched them die."

"Then you should hurry and go save them. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices in order to save the people we love. Isn't that right boys." Ashur's father and brothers stood in front of him, smiling gently.

"Brother don't fight against it, let it become one with you, use it to protect everyone, I regain what is yours."

"I promise I won't fail this time. I will not fail this time. I promise father, I promise."

Ashur came back to his reality, is skin was burning and breaking apart.

'Get yourself together'

His screams were so loud and intense that even the ground shook, as he regained control of himself.

He stood up, with his body smoking, his hair white as snow, and his eyes glowing red.

His body had grown, he was a little bit more bulking is top clothing had been ripped apart.

His burning wounds started to heal clearing his skin of any damage.

'Damn you lizard I told you not to, don't you know the term consent.' Ashur sighted.

'you know I can hear you.'

'Good!'

'I am Ignis, by the way, we never had the chance to introduce ourselves.'

Ashur was looking around uninterested, trying to find a way to leave the cave. Ignoring the new 'soulmate'.

'I am finally going to be free, being in this cave as made me so bored and tired at same time, what is the point of life if you are impresioned in your whole existence.'

'Can you shut a bit, I am trying to concentrate.'

'By all means, I am very pleased now that I can leave her, be my guest concentrate yourself to dthe fullest, you can even meditate if you want a sudden peace of mind ..' Ignis was non stop talking Ashur head hurted with to much talk, he couldn't focus and was getting angrier.

'FUCK, LET GO... SHUT UP ...YOU DAMN LIZARD' Ashur body started burning fiercely of rage.

'Calm down, you still have to learn to control this power or you going to waste your energy.'

As soon as Ignis finished talking Ashur mind collapse, giving the chance to Ignis to take over.

In his new found freedom, he was lighter and could easily move around, without problems.

'first lets leave this prison, he jusmp high in the mountain, leaving through a thin hole on the top that him as dragon could never fit. He jumped high like he was flying, came out to the of the cave in the mountain, going to the opposite side of Ashur's warriors.
