Cracking and sparks of fire shaped into mocking voice –soothing destruction of fireplace, tongues of dragon coming from that one considered human-shaped dragon himself. His name and voice is legend and a legend well know within the realms –Sitron of Yujacha the Warbringer, destroyer of soils and Creator of all Pyres, one of the many faces the Sacred Princess of Zheng He herself knew she may have had to associate to his consort.
And it was enough to cause her to let a gasp leak away from her lips and a shiver running down her spine as she turned to confirm her instinctive suspect –uncomfortable with the tendrils of shadows and approaching night in stranger environment around her, uncomfortable with the clothing she had to wear in order not to raise suspect within the even more bizarre population of that world so different and yer so similar to hers.
« … We are all out of place in such a world, my prince, are you a-aware of that? »
Sitron of Yujacha, acclaimed human dragon, knows.
Perhaps the term dragon does not suit him as it should. He believes that a dragon can control his fire, and thus not let it turn on himself. In the King’s case, well, Prince-- this fire of his had become the ultimate fear. It tore him from the family he might have had, and it stripped him of the throne. Yujacha held nothing but ashes for him, nothing to return to but charred ruins. It is this that holds him from the positive legacy he once deserved, but he is a mere shadow.
Zheng He. Sitron can confirm that he has never been there, never wants to go-- for he knows the moment his gloves are removed is the moment he loses control. That is why he has taken to wearing them in the first place. Only one woman did not show fear, only one woman allowed him to love; and she was stolen from him from the Broken Hearts, with the wolf-smile and his fast-beating heart.
And so comes the conclusion to their introduction, a hand raising up to pinch the brim of his hat, head inclining in a cowboy-like greeting. A dark laugh, low and husky, fills the air.
“And do tell me, Bai Lin Gong Fu... So far from possible help... Are you afraid?”
