Chapter 1
Stupid Human Fairy Tales
Hoarding treasure and capturing damsels. Do dragons do anything useful with their time?
It's been less than two years from when I've started doing what the human's fairy tales say dragons do. Well, only the hoarding treasure part. No damsels have come my way for me to capture. But why am I doing what those stupid humans think dragons do? They don't even have accurate drawing of dragons! They actually think we're some kind of overgrown lizard with wings. But still, why do I believe what their little fairy tales say?
Well... I've never met or even seen one of my kind before. For all I know, I could be the last dragon in existence. Because I've never met another dragon, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. All I have to go off of is the stories humans have written for their kin.
It feels silly that I depend on those stupid tales. Written by idiotic humans. I despise them. Loath them. Hate them. They feel the need to claim land as their own and thirst for power they can't even attain in their wildest dreams. They also start petty wars over land and wealth, killing many of their soldiers and people in the process. Some are so idiotic that they feel the need to jeopardize their lives for the sake of others weaker than themselves. If you can't fight for being too weak, you should die with the honor of standing on your own feet. To depend on others is what lazy, weak-minded people do. Survival of the fittest is the only way a world can go on.
However, this world doesn't run like it should. Humans have hunted dragons. And have succeeded. Then, they go off telling others that they are heroes. Hunting a species that you fear into near extinction isn't being a hero. It's being a coward. Thankfully, there are smarter humans in this world, but not very many. I still don't understand how they've survived all these centuries, leaving behind tales and stories that say they're the hero in every single one.
Hopefully, someday, I can find a place with others like me. But for now, I'm stuck living in a cave in a mountain side. And guess what? It's no less than five miles away from a kingdom. A kingdom fulled with humans. How wonderful.
It's alright though. The kingdom and its subjects have kept their distance. Only one human comes near me that I allow to live. A priest named Sebastian. He isn't very good at his job, but he's useful to me. He get's things from inside the kingdom that I need in exchange for a few gold coins or some dragon scales. He isn't the best of humans morally, but he's smart. That's the only way I'm able to tolerate him sometimes. Although, I wish I didn't have to depend on him sometimes. He treats me like a human child that needs a caretaker. He's just lucky I haven't decided to kill him yet.
Recently, Sebastian delivered some interesting news. He's said that the kingdom has officially declared war on another kingdom.
Well...
This will be fun to watch.
Hello Everyone! This story was inspired by none other than the most spitefully mammal on the planet, Hateweasel. She's the author of the greatest fanfic, Devil's Like To Dance. Due to some drawings and a chapter title, she kinda created a Dragon AU for her fic. I was really into the idea, so I took it upon myself to make it happen. This is kinda a test chapter to see if people will like it. I hope you all do. I'm open to constructive criticism and nice comments. Any negative comments will be deleted.
See you all in the next chapter!
