Ashane clenches his fists as those voices run in his head. I guess they're right I am nothing but just a weakling that's living under my father's shadow. He thinks.
He recalls his life before. He was cruel to others. He was a bully in Netiara. He was so brazen thinking that he's strong because he was the ringmaster king's son. He was a Royal and he thought that their Tribe was the most powerful and was far better than any Tribe in Velaris. He hated Ryse and Raye because no matter how he claims to himself that he's skilled and strong, still, he can't defeat them in battle. He resented Cassidy without any reason all because he saw that she's the strongest. And he desired the signet ring, thinking that the ring was the answer to all his misery, and would make all his weakness fade away.
