Scales black as night, perfect, glistening under the light of the sky.
Eyes purple like a strange and shining starry sea, an enormous body and wings capable of enveloping a small village.
Sapphire had lost count of how many times she had heard that description in the many scrolls she read when she still lived in the imperial palace.
An ancient beast of darkness, almost as old as the empire her father ruled. One that, in the past, burned this empire, devouring many of its emperors.
That... couldn't be her, right?
Yes... it must be just another beast of the same kind, nothing special!
As Sapphire thought about it, the beast moved, raising her enormous head.
Immediately, her piercing purple eyes focused on Sapphire as she sniffed the air.
That girl had a smell of blood not uncommon to Khaedryss.
Sapphire immediately took a step back, feeling Qingyi's hands wrap around her hips.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of Khaedryss? She doesn't bite, don't worry, hahaha," Qingyi laughed.
