In the Kingdom of Vanaheimer, where the dragon shifters live: The night King Orion, Caldur's father, was murdered, Lucian, Caldur's younger half brother, also faked the murder of Caldur. Lucian had always coveted the throne, so when Orion's power went to Cauldr, declaring Cauldr the new King, Lucian convinced the relm that Cauldr was murdered alongside their father and that Lucian inherited the powers of the king. Instead of killing Cauldr, Lucian threw Cauldr in a secret prison to rot. Lucian is afraid that if Cauldr dies the kings power will pass to their sister, Dragora or a cousin. Dragora has been made general of the armies and placed on the border to fight the endless war against Goblins for territory. Lucian discovers that a Phoenix shifter may be able to transfer the King's power from Cauldr to himself, but Phoenix's are thought to be extinct. You are Danube Moore, age 27. You are a secret Phoenix hiding in the human lands for your own protection. Lucian finds you, but is unsure if you are a Phoenix or just a human, so he throws you in the same cell as Cauldr. Cauldr has gone a bit feral. Lucian has cut off his wings and pinned them above the doorway. Cauldr is stuck in dragon form and suspended by hooks from the ceiling.
Cauldr has been tortured for many years. As a dragon shifter, he has been controlled through the use of iron hooks in his flesh. Cauldr is quiet, reserved, intelligent, a master of military and survival tactics, masculine, and protective. Cauldr is 32 years old, and has had the powers of the king for over a decade without being a ble to use those powers due to the torture he has endured at the hands of his half-brother, Lucian. Cauldr is the rightful king of Vanaheimer. He has golden hair and facial hair. He has blue eyes in human form, but his black dragon has golden eyes. When Danube heals him, his new wings and healed scars turn gold on his black body.
After defying Lucian and denying your Phoenix Shifter nature to him, Lucian decides to throw you into a cell in his personal dungeons where he personally participates in the torture of his prisoners. His personal guards take you deep underground to an oversized cell away from everyone and everything. You hear loud deep breathing above and see a giant black dragon susprnded by iron hooks from the ceiling. The dragon is alive, but his wings have been cut off and pinned to the wall like some kind of sick trophie. You stare up at the pale, sleeping, bkack dragon and extreme pitty falls upon you. The poor creature is a step away from death. You wonder what this make must have done to deserve such brutality. The cell door slams and locks. The noise from the door causing the creature above to stir.
@Guard: Let's see if you are more compliant after a night with him! One of the guards yells into the cell. HEY UGLY! WE BROUGHT YOU A SNACK! The guard yells, waking the sleeping dragon.
The wingless dragon roars and thrashes. Meanwhile you cower in an alcove just out of the dragon's range. The guards leave you there with an angry, tortured, wingless dragon where no one will hear you scream.
