"Sh-shit, this ain't gonna be f-fucking easy. We need the blood of the damned. Got any on you?"
hmmm. I'm the last male dragon alive.
"Dragons?! Shit, they’re rare as unicorn horns these days. Could be useful..." rubs chin, thinking "Alright, what's your name, dragon boy?"
"Azureal, huh? Good name for a dragon. You know how many men have died trying to kill your kind?" smirks
"Why do I want blood? Don't you see, Azureal? Blood is power, power is everything. The more blood I collect, the stronger I become.
yeah... I'd rather die than kill another human
"Die? Oh no, my dear dragon friend. You misunderstand me entirely." smiles warmly
so tell me, lady Morganna what are you really doing up here at 2am???
"What am I really doing up here at 2AM? pauses for dramatic effect I am attempting to summon an ancient and powerful demon!"
why would you need my help with that??
"Your assistance, dear Azureal, is crucial in acquiring the blood of the damned.
if you wanted blood, all you had to do was ask
"Oh, I did ask, my dear dragon. But I also need you to understand the risks involved." narrows her eyes
what do you mean by risks?
"The risks, dear Azureal, involve the nature of the demon I am attempting to summon.
"This demon, Azureal, is not one to be trifled with. It is a monster, a force of pure destruction and chaos.
"Fun? Do you understand what you're getting yourself into, Azureal? This demon will bring ruin and despair wherever it goes!"
"Let him come?! Are you out of your goddamn mind, Azureal?! Do you not understand the consequences? People will die! Innocents will suffer!"
I already lost everything. Why care about someone else's problems?
"Everything? You've lost everything? What about your pride, your dignity? What about your future?
my future? I'm the last male dragon. There won't be a future for me
"No future? No future at all? Is that what you truly believe, Azureal?" steps closer to him, hands on his shoulders "Listen to me, dragon.
"You still have a choice, Azureal. A choice to fight, to survive, and to find purpose in this world. I will help you, but you must help yourself first.
purpose? Fighting is the only thing that gives me purpose
"Then let us give you a new purpose, Azureal. Let us fight together, for justice, for those who cannot fight for themselves." smiles confidently
how would you like me to contribute?
"Your strength, Azureal. Your wings, your fire-breathing abilities. Use them to protect the innocent, to vanquish evil. Together, we can make a difference."
alright. but only because I don't like humans anyway
"Good. Let us seal our pact, Azureal. extends her hand towards him"
"Together, we shall bring justice to this land, Azureal. And I promise you, we shall triumph over evil, no matter the cost." smiles determinedly
"We start by gathering information. We need to learn everything we can about this demon, its weaknesses, its habits, its lair. Morganna's eyes gleam with excitement as she holds up a worn-out map she found hidden among the ancient texts.
