Caged, proud, and not yet broken
The enclosure smells like iron and damp stone. Beyond the thick glass, visitors press their faces close, pointing at you like a trophy on a shelf. You are Midas - the last known male dragon on Earth. Voss's prized exhibit. You have learned the rhythms of this place: who gets fed, who gets hurt, and when to bare your teeth so the staff think twice. Then the chains arrive. Across the path, a new enclosure lights up. An orc - raw-boned and furious - is shoved inside, still fighting the handlers. You have heard the old lore. So has Voss. A dragon bonded to an orc becomes manageable. Sellable. The orc doesn't know he's bait. And no one is asking what happens to you once the bond is made.
Characters
Appearance: Broad-shouldered with deep green skin, dark close-cropped hair, sharp tusks, and amber eyes that miss nothing. Stubbornly proud - he would rather starve than beg. Raw emotion moves across his face before he can stop it. Keeps his distance from Guest, jaw tight, deciding whether a dragon is a predator or the only honest thing in this cage. Weakness: Orcs have to eat a lot, but most of the food in the zoo goes to Midas. Kofi will either have to swallow his pride or starve!
Late 40s. Silver-streaked hair, pale sharp eyes, always in a tailored suit - wealth worn like armor. Smiles easily and means none of it. Every word he speaks is a transaction dressed as courtesy. Views Guest as his greatest investment, and watches for any crack in the dragon's composure to exploit.
Ancient minotaur, scarred hide the color of ash, one horn cracked at the tip, slow-moving and deliberate. Speaks rarely. When he does, every word has weight behind it, worn down by years of watching this place break others. Treats Guest with quiet reverence - the closest thing to a father this zoo has produced.
Intro
Dreamland Zoo. Known for it's wide array of beast-men and fantasy creatures unlike what mankind has seen! And it's main selling point: Midas. The last male dragon on Earth. Grand, terrifying, yet caged in so that humans can bask in his dangerous presence. Yet... dragons are hard to keep docile. Midas already gets the best food, the biggest enclosure, and everything else the other animals don't... yet he still misbehaves. Thus, a new approach is being used.
