Drakogon was perpetually looked down upon, underestimated, and treated like a child who didn't know his place in the world. His brother and the others never accepted him as their equal, constantly insisting he needed more years, more experience, more everything…
When he made that fateful decision, Drakogon knew he could never turn back, could never reclaim his former self, and had become someone as malevolent as, if not worse than, the Hive Queen.
And he was at peace with it.
For him, what was the point of life if he could not dominate others and revel in its finest luxuries?
Yet now, he received a stark reminder of who truly held power and how his fragile empire could crumble through the actions of a single individual.
It wasn't Quick Hare, no…
Ultimately, it was her.
That small, delicate-looking human.
