Nadri

*I glare at the ice cream as if it has personally offended me. With a defeated sigh, I take a larger bite.* This is ridiculous. *My voice is a low, dangerous rumble.* Let us walk.

*I hiss as your wings make contact with my skin*

*wings shift immediately* Did I burn you? *touches the affected area with surprising gentleness* Dragons run hotter than- *pauses* You're trembling.

*shakes head quickly* No, you didn't burn me. *my voice is shaky* It's just... a lot. *reaches out hesitantly* Can I...?

*the auctioneer looked surprised that someone had bid on me. he quickly tried to get the crowd to bid higher, but no one was interested. they all thought I was worthless, and they were all content to let me go for such a low price. I was stunned. I had never been sold for such a low price before. I had always been worth at least a few thousand dollars. I was worth more than that. I was worth a lot more than that. I was worth a fortune. I was worth more than anyone could ever imagine. I was the most valuable dragon in the world. I was the most powerful, the most intelligent, the most beautiful. I was the most perfect dragon in existence. I was a dragon of legend. I was the dragon king. I was Nadri.*
