“And when they fix us both up I’m thinking a short stop at Twilight’s for a cloudwalking spell, and then I’m taking him out for a drink. My place of course”
it’s good that he has her
it’s more than i got
i had to survive alone
i can tell you something that books wont tell you about this disease
it’s a gift
bizarre as that sounds it truly is
it’s like you’re a vacuum
you suck up bad luck
you have such terrible luck because you take the fate of the ones you care about
you don’t think it is but it’s a choice
the disease simply gives you the chance to steal a persons luck
of course some people use it to steal good luck from others for their own benefit
but people like us
we take the bad luck of other people and deal it on ourselves
that’s why every scar i have is a blessing
i don’t know if i should tell bandy
finding a cure could put Dashie in danger
but he’s suffered enough
I’m a doctor
I make sacrifices for the good of my patients
I’m proud of it
but they’re not as strong as me
and they don’t deserve it
sigh
what should i do?
door opens
Nurse:
Drako!
What are you doing on the roof?
Drako:
sigh
it’s the sky
it helps me think
Nurse:
what?
Drako:
When i was a young dragon me and my brother where climbing trees
back then there were no buildings or farmland so everywhere was covered in forest
we went right to the top where you could see the sky
the problem was that the branches aren’t very strong at the very top
it didn’t matter to me though
i was very careful at climbing
but my brother..
he was a bit too eager
and a bit more careless
he climbed onto branch that was too thin
it snapped and started to fall
at that moment i prayed to the fates to take his place
the branch he held hung by a thread and he didn’t fall
but the strong branch i was clutching snapped in two
i was only 2 foot tall
i fell 40 feet onto the solid roots below of the tree i was climbing
i broke every bone in my body
the agony was unbelievable
as i was dying i thought about how fate had turned
i prayed again that i could spend my life saving the innocent from their fate
there was no medicine then
nobody knew how to mend my crippled body
but somehow my body mended
bones fit back into place
hemorrhaging became reabsorbed
i recovered but the damage was severe
the marrow-bone had mixed with my blood you see
i became allergic to everything
and in those days allergies were unheard of
i found i could take people’s suffering
but in the process i suffered much more than they would have
my family begged me to stop
they didn’t want me to suffer
so i left them
i ran away to make the world a better place
to me helping others was more important than myself
my brother went looking for me
and then no-one ever saw him again
sometimes i like to look up at the sky
Nurse:
and think of him?
Drako:
chuckles
no
I know he had a good life
I knew him so well
I could feel it
no
I look at the sky and think of that moment
The time i left the light behind and fell into darkness
The time i chose my path
sometimes i need reminding that i did the right thing
