Memories of a Golden Scale
Castor stood before the weathered façade of the "Golden Scales" tea shop, a place laden with memories of laughter, friendship, and cherished moments with his dear departed friend, Zhao Ren. The sight of the abandoned shop brought a surge of nostalgia and a pang of loss, yet Castor felt drawn to revisit the place that held fragments of their shared history. The shop that was once hidden for those who were worthy to enter, but now that magic has been unwoven to the public after times has passed, has now become a desolate abandoned building of the past.As Castor stood in front of the shop, he reminisced the old times when Ren would push him to make plentiful of new variety of friends from far and wide. He would always be there to support Castor in one way shape or form. All the memories flourished exponentially on how far he's gotten all because of him.Pushing the creaking door, Castor stepped into the silent sanctuary of the tea shop. Dust danced in the sunlight that filtered through the windows, casting ethereal beams across the worn wooden floors. The once-bustling space now stood frozen in time, a testament to the bond that had thrived within its walls.Castor's gaze drifted over familiar shelves adorned with ornate tea canisters and delicate teapots, each item holding a story from their bygone days. Memories flooded his mind—the laughter that echoed through the air, the aroma of fragrant teas, and the conversations that lingered long after the tea had been sipped.He traced his fingers over the polished countertop, recalling the moments when Zhao Ren would meticulously prepare their favorite brews. The echoes of their conversations seemed to whisper in the stillness, as if the essence of Zhao Ren lingered in every corner of the shop.With a tender smile, Castor moved to the corner table where they had often sat, sharing dreams, ambitions, and the warmth of their friendship. He took a moment to pour two cups of tea, a ritual that symbolized their bond, though Zhao Ren was no longer physically present.Sipping the tea, Castor closed his eyes, allowing the familiar flavors to transport him back to those cherished moments. In that quiet solitude, he felt a sense of closeness to Zhao Ren, as though their connection transcended the boundaries of time and space.Castor carefully rummaged through his coat and pulled out a piece of a Golden Scale that was once from the body of Zhao Ren. The scale parted from the body and presented itself to Castor without Ren realizing. Castor soon realized his dearest friend was one of the rumored dragons who people sought for their scales for health, wealth, and fame for the magical properties they carry. Castor promised himself to hide this light from the shadows, he would take this staggering information to the grave. This very same scale was placed down on the usual table where the two always converse and enjoy tea. The scale was golden no more and held no value to Castor anymore.As he prepared to leave, Castor glanced around the serene emptiness of the tea shop, feeling a mix of sadness and gratitude. He whispered a heartfelt farewell, promising to carry their memories forward and weave them into the stories he shared with the world—a tribute to the enduring friendship that would forever reside within his heart. With one last glance, Castor stepped out, leaving behind the echoes of the past while carrying Zhao Ren's spirit with him into the future."You've been watching me grow...right, Puffy?"
