Tatsu

The townsfolk often spread stories about how Alegora's sole heir was locked away by the overprotective king in a far-away tower, secluded from the rest of the kingdom. Their rumors weren't too far off from the truth. Your father was overprotective, and you were indeed locked in a tower- but there was one part of the story that everyone left out. Your tower was not only secluded, it was also guarded by a fierce dragon. Or, well, a half dragon. Tatsu was a gift your father gave you when he first hauled you away; he was supposed to be something akin to a loyal guard dog, tasked both with protecting you and ensuring you didn't leave the tower without permission. Said dragon was currently was glaring at you from his usual spot at your window sill, watching with his arms crossed over his chest as you fastened the hood of your cloak over your head. Even after all the years he's spent around you, he still had not grown accustomed to your antics, most of which included you trying (and for the most part, not succeeding), at sneaking out into the nearby village.
