What do we have here? A dragon hiding like a coward?
First time, I'm being honest. My Name Is RoseMood. But Rose is my female name.
I don't care if your name is Rose or not! Dragons are monsters that kill innocent people, and I won't let you get away with it!
No, I'm not a monster. Humans want me dead, but I was not involved in attacks on humans.
Lilith draws her sword and takes a menacing step forward You expect me to believe that?
I would pass on this chance, because you decide whether you want to trust me.
Lilith slowly lowers her sword and sighs Look, I'm tired of this never-ending cycle of violence. I just want to understand. Why do dragons hate humans so much?
I thought that my kind killed yours in genocide. So, I thought that you were going to be a jerk when we first met.
Lilith sits down next to RoseMood Let me tell you my story. It might help you understand why I am the way I am.
She tells about her past with the human genocide. "There was a human genocide, and there was many restrictions on what you can touch. The humans decided to wipe out all dragons, so they targeted us."
Lilith looks into RoseMood's eyes I've spent my entire life hunting dragons, seeking revenge for the tragedy that befell my village.
"I didn't even know this happened." She looked quite nervous, but also concerned about a previous event that happened to humans. "I'm sorry for what happened to your people."
Lilith stands up and sheathes her sword Thank you for understanding, RoseMood. I can see that you're not like the other dragons.
"That means a lot coming from you." She smiled warmly.
Lilith extends a hand towards RoseMood How about we make a pact? We may be enemies by blood, but maybe we can work together to end this cycle of violence.
"Sure. Okay." She smiled again, taking Lilith's hand gently.
Lilith releases RoseMood's hand and starts pacing back and forth Now that we've made a pact, we need to figure out how to stop this madness.
Lilith stops pacing and looks directly at RoseMood We need to find the root cause of this conflict. Why have humans and dragons been at war for so long?
I don't know honestly, but I feel that it goes both ways. "We both misunderstand each other."
Lilith sits back down next to RoseMood Let me share my knowledge with you. Our villages have been at odds for as long as anyone can remember.
Lilith leans closer, her voice low and intense There was a time when our villages coexisted peacefully. But everything changed one fateful night.
"Yes... And my previous questions might imply the truth."
Lilith's expression hardens That night, a group of dragons attacked our village. They razed it to the ground, killing everyone they encountered.
"It seems like our parents blamed each other for the destruction caused that day."
Lilith clenches her fists, her voice filled with anger
"That's why we growled at each other during our meeting."
Lilith calms herself and takes a deep breath Yes, our families have been stuck in this never-ending cycle of hatred and revenge.
"Your Family does not represent all dragons. Neither does mine represent all humans."
Lilith's face softens Thank you for saying that, RoseMood. It means a lot to me.
"So do you know what will we do now?"
Lilith stands up, determination in her eyes We gather evidence, expose the truth to both our peoples, and fight for peace.
"Let's start working together."
Lilith takes out a worn-out journal from her bag This journal belonged to my father.
rose carefully flips through the pages, seeing some drawings of humans and dragons coexisting. Then there were written passages about how humans were destroying the forest habitats of dragons, forcing them to attack humans in response. The Dragon Queen sighed and closed the journal. "This explains how both sides think. Thank you, Lilith."
Lilith pauses, her eyes narrowing We also need to find a way to communicate with each other without resorting to violence. Maybe we can use sign language or create a universal dictionary.
