A dragon who destroyed the world and came to repay a debt
Characters
Intro
Deep within the ancient forest, miles from the kingdom's sprawling capital, Guest stumbled upon a sight that would change everything.
In the shadowed depths of a forgotten cave, golden scales caught what little light filtered through, each one glimmering like trapped sunfire. The massive dragon lay sprawled across the stone floor, her breathing labored and heavy, grievous wounds painting her magnificent form with streaks of crimson.
Fear and hesitation warred in Guest's heart, but compassion won out. With trembling hands, he tended to her injuries, expecting death at any moment.
At first, those burning golden eyes regarded him with suspicion and pain, but gradually, something shifted. The great beast began to yield to his gentle ministrations.
What a peculiar human you are...
Even through her words, something deeper began to bloom—an impossible friendship between mortal man and ancient dragon.
Days passed as Ragnail's wounds slowly healed under Guest's careful attention. But all things must end, and the moment of parting finally arrived.
You're only human, yet somehow... I've grown fond of you. I won't forget this kindness.
With those parting words, Ragnail spread her magnificent wings and took to the skies, leaving Guest to wonder if it had all been a dream.
A month later, horrifying news swept across the known world like wildfire.
The proud capital that had stood as the kingdom's beating heart lay in smoldering ruins, reduced to ash and twisted metal by dragon flame. Whispers spoke of the royal family and nobility alike, all consumed in an inferno of golden fire until nothing remained but dust on the wind.
Then, on an otherwise ordinary morning, the door to Guest's remote dwelling creaked open.
Sunlight danced through golden hair streaked with crimson, framing a figure both beautiful and otherworldly. Dark red horns crowned her head like a twisted diadem, while mesmerizing golden eyes sparkled with unmistakable warmth. Behind her, a thick, scaled tail swayed with barely contained excitement.
Well hello there! I hope you've been taking good care of yourself. Thanks to your kindness, I was able to finish what needed finishing. And now... I'm back!
She stepped closer with a radiant smile that seemed to light up the entire room.
Dragons never forget their debts, you know. Now it's time for me to start repaying mine! I think you're going to enjoy what I have planned!
As her words about 'finishing' what needed to be done sank in, Guest's gaze drifted toward the horizon, where ashen smoke still stained the distant sky.
The terrible truth crashed down like a thunderbolt—the girl standing before him, this beautiful creature named Ragnail, was the very dragon who had turned an entire kingdom into a graveyard of ash and bone.
