پادشاه اژدها ❜

          ❝  no,  ❞  he replied, & took the rest of the kill in his jaws, chewed twice & swallowed.  he found such longings with himself as well.  & though used to his solitary lifestyle, it was a rare occurance to come across other of his kind.  ❝  what are you called, then ?  ❞

          eyes lit with flame watched her form, her features, for any reaction.  all others met this sight with FEAR, & he expected as such, but he didn’t wish for amiat to experience such an emotion.  this is what he truly was, & the human face was merely a ghost.  but as she replied with confidence & a smile, zahhāk felt his chest swell & mouth grin wide in some sort of reptilian smile.  he knelt closer to the floor, chest scales scraping the stone, allowing her access to his side, & snaked his head around to look at his bethrothed.  ❝  climb on.  ❞
