The Frost Dragon's Offer

The frost dragon approached Shin with a gentle demeanor, noticing the sadness in his expression.

Having personally experienced the fear of impending doom, it understood the weight of such burden better than most.

"Pffft, you think you're strong? Please."

"Who wants to hang out with a loser like you anyway."

"I can't believe I gave birth to him. Is he even my son!?"

"We hereby strip you of the privilege to use our name and consider you exiled!"

'Haa...'

'Flashes of useless memories,' The frost dragon shook his head, reminiscing a distant past from thousands of years ago.

Seeing Shin in his current state brought back a weakness the frost dragon had long forgotten.

'We aren't so different after all,' he mused while gazing at Shin.

Aware of Shin's dire circumstances, the frost dragon's suggestion to visit his dwelling was not intended to mock him. Rather, it was a 

genuine effort to safeguard the white wolf.
