Alpha Dragon
I swore I wouldn't show at that field, wouldn't claim my bride.
But loneliness drew me there, to her. Gods, she wasn't my true mate, and I would mourn her someday like I mourned the others who came before her. The thought was a crushing weight. I flew through my kingdom high above the trees, mountains, and lakes. I spotted a herd of bison. Their hide was tough, but tongue, heart, and liver succulent. A gurgle of fire exploded with my laugh. I didn't know what the female would do when I brought one of these hulking beasts into my eating tower, but I wanted to find out.
