I threw one last, lingering look at the beautiful girl who owned my heart, wishing more than anything in the world that I didn’t have to walk out on her then tearing my own soul in two as I did exactly that. The other Heirs all tried to reassure me as I made it back to the front room, but I couldn’t listen to it, dropping my sweatpants as I threw the window open and diving out into the storm instead. My Dragon form burst from my flesh, and I flew hard and fast towards the gap in the fence with flames tearing from my lips, consumed by the loss of everything I should have had with my girl.
