Three months later
Winter was coming for Dominic who had no fire place or something that he felt extremely cold his eyes were closed as he rubbed his hands together and he coughed out. Lately the food has been getting smaller and smaller which is harder for Dominic and Po Tun but both of them had each other so they both just stared at each other. Dominic was laying his head on a rag and he moved around he coughed out and he let out a small breath before he closed his eyes and he fell asleep.
Two hours later Dominic woke up because he felt way to cold he was looking around when he notice something shining he stood up wrapping Po Tun around his arms and he walked straight toward the shining thing he saw sheets that covered the mirror he stared at the mirror and he saw himself. He looked at his beautiful golden eyes that were enough to pressure someone.
Dominic sighed and turned around he started to walk away back to where he was going to sleep but he heard a tap tap.
He stared straight in the mirror and saw the young boy waving his hand he looked just like Dominic but the difference was he had two horns pointy ears and he looked somewhat healthy. Dominic froze in place and he ran straight at the door.
"GHOST! GHOST OPEN THE DOOR! I BEG OF YOU!" Dominic shouted hopelessly but the two guards outside ignored Dominic whimpers and whining sounds.
"I thought that boy died."
"Tsk he has the Katon bloodline running through killing him won't be that easy I still don't understand why the Holiness even bothers with this disgusting brat."
"Same but I feel bad for him."
"Yeah but it's not our problem weather he dies or not it's not really our fault plus winter is coming they is no way he would make it that far."
"Did you hear the rumors?"
"What rumors?"
"Mmm never mind."
Dominic looked at the mirror again and he looked at the boy who was sitting down and staring at him and he shook his head as if he was disagreeing with him.
The next morning the door opened and Dominic saw Elena who looked at the disgusting smell child who was looking at him. Po Tun was already hiding Elena grabbed Dominic by his face and she smiled ever so wickedly and threw a box on the ground.
"A gift for you do open it," Elena said.
Dominic didn't understand what she meant but he opened it and at that moment he knew this head. Auntie Paige. Elena laughed as she walked away and turned around as she waved her finger striking Dominic right in the shoulder.
"I wanted to kill her the torture and everything was a blessing so be grateful auntie took care of that trash for you my dearest step son," Elena said and slammed the door shut. Dominic was in agony he clenched his stomach and threw up. What did he ever do wrong why did Auntie Paige have to die why not him.
Tears kept on streaming down and streaming down as he put the box down and he looked around they was dirt here so he started digging and he burred Paige head as he showed respect to her his eyes were tired of crying he felt so hopeless and he wanted to sleep for a long time. He felt so cold. The person stood up and held out his hand as he started moving his hand forward. Dominic ignored the person but the person kept on tapping on the mirror.
Dominic sat up.
"Shut up I just lost my auntie and now I am wounded."
The other person giggled and laughed as he pointed him and he started waving the stick in front of him.
"Humph I can do it to," Dominic said as he stood up he tried to do what the other boy was doing he trapped over his own legs and fall down.
"Damn it I am done!" Dominic said.
The boy waved his finger and moved around Dominic started calling him Dom. Dominic notice that Dom doesn't speak the same language as him so he tried his best to understand him.
Dominic picked up a stick from the ground and he pointed at himself and Dom nodded his head as he moved around and started waving his stick forward. Dominic tried to do what Dom was doing isn't this what his half siblings learn he always sneaked out to learn but got court and was beaten until he was unable to even walk.
Two months later.
Dominic was moving around he took a deep breath and he waved the stick in the air and warm air surrounded him. Dominic felt happy he threw the stick to the side and he smiled.
"Dom I finally did it now I can rest," Dominic said.
But Dom looked pissed off.
"No no wrong moves!" Dom said to Dominic.
"What do you mean humph I won't do it."
"Loser can't even take on the challenge," Dom said.
Dominic clenched his fists together. Food came and Dominic called for Po Tun who eat his fair share but Dominic fed him more.
Po Tun was worried.
"Don't worry I am fine."
Dominic looked at Dom and he took a deep breath he sat down and he held his hands out as he started to cultivate so Dominic followed him and he took a deep breath as he breathed out.
Dominic felt something painful happening to his body. As he coughed blood out Dominic felt some kind of strange energy happening to his body beautiful colorful scales appeared as Dominic fall on the ground and passed out.
Dominic enter body was covered in scales as his breath in and out his scales disappeared his warrior spirit was chained up in some kind of powerful chains that kept it trapped but his spirit root seemed to be a void that was endless.
A week later
Dominic touched his stomach so hungry.
Dom looked at Dominic who looked at Dom back and he shook his head. He just keep on training it isn't like he has anything else to do.
"Dom come on bring it."
"Alright," Dom moved with a smile.
The mysterious person in the mirror became someone who kept Dominic from losing him with Po Tun who also has been doing something of his own Dominic felt so happy. Even though the warehouse was a lonely place he didn't feel out of place anymore he felt like this place was his home.
