Summary: Being raised by a dragon presents a few issues. Mizael wants to help. But there are issues involved.
Mizael didn't talk to people. He wasn't certain if he could speak their language properly, though he tried. He listened. Jinlong helped as best that he could, but a dragon's mouth wasn't set up the way a human's was, and the mixed accent made Mizael want to hide even deeper away from the villagers.
He wanted to help them, though he didn't know how. He wanted to wait until he could speak to them and be understood.
He'd tried to help others. It didn't work out well when he couldn't understand them. So he and Jinlong left, to find a new place to wait and watch.
Mizael watched people. He watched them talk, he watched them work, shop, and do everything else. He wanted to be like them.
But that wouldn't happen. He had to wait.
He would succeed. He would talk to them one day. Somehow.
One day.
The End
