Then I'll Raise You Like A Phoenix

Ashmedai would listen to his little friend. He felt a bit sad. Mieu didn't seem as willing to fight. Ashemdai didn't know if Mieu would ever really be able to fit in with the pack. As much as Ashmedai liked Mieu, he wasn't sure what he could do for the boy, "You're always welcome to train, Mieu." he commented honestly. Ashmedai would move to show the boy small affections, "But at some point, to be accepted, to be able to explore freely... you'll have to be tested... by my dad." Ashmedai drew back, "When that happens, I can't interfere. Until then, though, I can try to train you and whatever happens after that, we are always going to be friends." he ended. Ash didn't know if Mieu could impress his father ever. He hoped to, but the boy was so innocent and soft. Ashmedai didn't know if he would ever fit into this kind of pack, "But who knows, maybe one day, you'll be ranked above me!"
