When I was born, or to be more precise when I hatched ,most thought that like my sister,I'd inherit the azure and red scales from my parents. That wasn't true and to make matters worse,I didn't get a lick of power from my now parents.
This actually made things easier for the succession of my sister and actually eased tensions between the azure dragon clan and the other Noble clans as to them, bloodline was every thing to them.
Even though my parents his it well, I could see the regret, self blame and disappointment.
Good thing I'd been prepared to start from the bottom as all my lives have had nothing but suffering.
It's true they took care of me whether out of duty or guilt but after sixteen years, I could sense it, the growing distance between me and them.
My parents were ashamed of me, while my sister loved me, she couldn't show any affection towards me openly and could only do so behind the scenes.
It was still comfortable even with all this as no matter how much a waste I was,I was the dragon kings son at least that was until my fifteenth birthday as an elder from the azure dragon clan made a joke about the color of my scale as my scales were grey in colour different from any dragon know through history.
After that day,as though that night was a probing to see my parents reaction which was apathetic at best and shame towards me, relentless bullying ensued.
It started small from whispers to calling me names and when there was no response from my parents,it simply devolved into outright spite and beatings, my sister did her best but still not much could be done.
As to why I didn't do much to prevent this, I'd given up on my parents if they could be called that and cultivation as a dragon was a hundred times difficult as I tried to integrate my knowledge from my past life to what I could use.
Due to my slow progress compared to the false dragons living at the edge, my parents completely cut any form of affection and abandoned me.
It was on my seventeenth birthday that I asked to be sent to the outer edges of the dragon tribe's territory also known as the edge of the beast realm and the world.
Unlike my first world where the universe is ever expanding, apparently this one had reached the limits of expansion and simply stopped.
Little to no sun reaches the place causing it to be encased in ice all year round, a perfect place to hide the so called shame of the beast world.
By shame of the beast world, I meant the so called mixed breeds that didn't live up to the expectations, such as the blue luan,serpent dragon, turtle dragon and so on.
This became a refuge to the forsaken and the forgotten.
And the perfect place to research and grow ,so as to trace the abnormalities I've detected.
