Memories

Chase Young sat upon his throne idly turning a page of a photo album balanced on his lap. The warlord had scuffed at Jack for making it, but now he was glade that Spicer did as he turned another page entitled Baby's First Hair Cut.

Chase smiled slightly at the memory, the twins weren't very happy when Jack cut their hair.

The dragon ran the pads of his fingers down the small black and white locks of hair pinned into thick paper doing the same to a other lock of dark hair placed there some years later with Jade's name written under it.

Chase turned a other page this one holding a family picture of them. It was taken by one of Spicer's Jack-bots on the foyer steps. The twins were seven and Jade one at the time, Jack looked so happy in it…he always looked happy in all of them.

Young closed the album with a soft thump, his eyes glazing as memories flooded his minds eye. So much had happened when Jack died; Jia-Li reaching Grand Master Monk, Jaxith becoming the world greatest game designer, and Jade taking the Spicer CO to Canada and England.

So much had changed; Jade dying in a plane crash from L.A to visit him on her 100th birthday, Jaxith being killed in a battle he shouldn't have been in, and Jia-Li going mad when his lover and brother were killed he couldn't control his beast. His dragon slaughtered everyone even his own students…Chase had no choice then to take down his own son.

The warlord stood from his throne letting the thick album fall to the floor with a heavy thump, disappearing in snap of Heylin magic and reappearing in a small greenhouse like room. Flowers and incenses filled the room in a smoky flora scent, Chase stood before a low-table four small bowls of dry rice each one holding three burning sticks of incense. Behind the bowls four colorful jaded urns each one with a framed picture beside it.

The dragon lord knelt, lit some more incense and gave a silent prey for his family…waiting for the day they will be reborn, but for now he had his memories whether good or bad.

A.N. so what you think?
