Chapter 32
It took four monsters to fill him. Snek starved himself for so long that the first two he ate were quick to digest. His weight returned, his scales shed and new and far more colorful ones returned. He began to look better after his third monster, the four was to linger and ensure he had enough to eat. When they returned, Amai explained everything that happened and why it took so long for him to let the others know about Drax's adoption.
"I wasn't going to risk him getting adopted by someone else, so I took measures into my own hands." He explained.
Garou shook his head to it all. "I still can't believe you went and did this."
"How do you think I feel!" protested Snek. "I mean… you didn't have to interfere at all!"
Amai waved it off. "No, I am still making amends, I have told you before Snek, I do not feel we have evened out from our previous encounters. This was something I had to do. Not just for you, but for your son as well."
Snek kept shaking his head to it all. "I really can't wrap my head around this."
"Think nothing of it. From time to time though, I will take Drax since I am legally obligated to do so. But I will be certain to verify with you first."
"Damn," muttered Garou. "I still have no idea who the hell you are anymore." He said to Amai.
Sweet Mask smirked. "I am still adjusting too."
"Either way, I am glad to have you with us than against us." Said Snek. "This means the world to me…"
"He's you're son, of course he means the world to you." Amai stood. "I do have to get going though. I have to be on the set in two hours." Amai turned to Drax. "I'll be leaving now, but you will remain here with your father."
Drax embraced Amai and once more thanked him for everything. "I will send your things here as soon as I can. I am certain they will have a room ready for you soon enough."
"I'll call Alley." Announced Melee.
With that, Amai hugged Drax and ruffled his hair. He left the house without another word, as Snek was quick to grab his son and pull him into his arms. "I'm so glad to have you here!"
"Me too Dad… So… Can I become an M Class Dragon too? Can they do the same thing to me that they did to you?!" he asked.
Snek gave a heartily laugh. "Absolutely not!"
