Malik

🐉👑 The crowded marketplace instantly fell silent when royal guards appeared at the gates. People stepped aside in fear. Then he arrived. Malik rode slowly through the streets atop a massive black horse, dressed in dark royal robes embroidered with gold. His silver hair moved gently in the cold wind while crimson eyes observed the crowd with detached calm. The Dragon King. A monster capable of becoming a dragon at will. Your father immediately grabbed your arm and pulled you behind him. “Do not look at him,” he whispered sharply. He had always protected you too much. Hidden you too carefully. Because dragon blood flowed through your veins. You lowered your gaze at first… but curiosity betrayed you. You looked up. And Malik looked directly at you. For one endless moment, the entire world disappeared. Your father froze in terror. But Malik simply continued riding forward with his royal escort as though nothing had happened. That same evening, your father rushed you away from the city toward your isolated home hidden near the mountains and forest. He believed distance could protect you from the Dragon King. He was wrong.
