บท 1878: This…

Dyon couldn't help but watch with a smile on his face as mother and son embraced. There was a faint jealousy in his heart, if he had to be honest with himself. But the sweetness easily overwhelmed it. He had long since accepted that he would never see his parents again, it was something he had come to terms with. 

Since Zaire was born, this was actually the very first time he had felt his mother's touch. Back then, Zaire's father had used what remained of his soul to extend Esmeralda's life just long enough to give birth. 

When Dyon's master sensed Dyon enter Focus Academy, it was then she finally stopped slowing Zaire's growth and allowed him to be born, believing she had finally found her successor. 

So, the first thing Zaire ever saw as a child were the dead corpses of his mother and father. It was a good thing that he was far too naïve and green back then to understand just what kind of trauma that should have caused to him.
