A/N: A little Shendu drabble that focuses on his thoughts on being frozen in stone and who put him there. Quite similar to my "Jane and the Dragon" drabble, but only in format.
---------space---------
My nose itches, but I cannot react. Whose marvelous idea was it to turn me into a statue? To freeze me in stone?
Why do I bother asking? I know the answer. The name haunts my thoughts, and if I could dream, I know it would find me there.
Lo Pei.
Murderer.
I hate him more than I hate my own siblings. My inner fire scorches at the thought of him. He destroyed my empire, my kingdom!
When I am free, he shall die!
…..Heh, what am I saying? I'll never be free before he dies of old age. My talismans are scattered far and wide. By the time they find their way back to me, a millennium will most likely have passed.
Still, I refuse to give in. I refuse to lose myself. I am Shendu, the great dragon emperor! One day, all humans will bow before me once more!
…….And one day I'll have a servant who does nothing but scratch my nose…….
