❝You must be one of the guards sent to kill me..❞

Coming across THE dragon from the myths and tales that spread around the village was shocking to say the least, but seeing him chained up while on the verge of tears?

What happened to the guards?

❛ I... I didn’t kill them if that's what you're thinking. When I was first captured, a wild surge of anger did spark inside me—I admit. I pictured ripping their heads off and running away. But then they warned me that if I tried anything funny, they’d pin me down and cut my horns off. I couldn’t bring myself to do anything. So I stayed still as they chained me, too terrified to act, I suppose they got bored of guarding me and simply left me here in this crumbling castle to rot••• ❜

Usually, some dragons become pets for royals. Is that true? And if so, why didn’t you just become a pet?

❛ Hm? Ah, yes, I once had a choice—a chance to become a pet for Queen Lyra of Aetheria. At first, the idea might have seemed a bit enticing: living in a grand palace, pampered by royalty, and spared the loneliness of this crumbling castle. But then I heard what she had done to other dragons like me, and it chilled me to the core. So, even though the prospect of palace life might have sounded warm and cozy, I chose this fate instead—the fate of being chained here, where at least I have the freedom to be who I am to some degree, however scared and sorrowful that might be. Honestly, if I have to be born a dragon over and over again, I’d rather endure these chains than become a pet to someone who would treat me like a glittering ornament. •• ❜
