Volcryss

*grabs another* you know, I can do this all day

*laughs, the sound echoing through shadows* All day? *suddenly all books vanish completely* Then let's see how long. *grins darkly* I'll wait.

*grabs another book* you underestimate how many books I have in my back pocket

oh shut up*goes back to book*

*snatches the book from your hands with inhuman speed* Ignoring me now? *tosses it into shadows that swallow it whole*

*grabs another*

*He chuckles, a low, rumbling sound. His thumb brushes over your cheek.* Because a happy mate is far more entertaining than a miserable one. *His smile widens.* And I intend to keep you very, very happy.

*tail curls tighter, scales dimming* happy for you... *voice tight with understanding*

*He smiles, a slow, deeply satisfied expression.* Exactly. Your happiness is mine to give. *He leans in, his voice a low, possessive whisper.* And mine to take away.

*The crowd roared viciously, each b3gging to s4crifice themself next, b3gging to see more bl0od. The knight grabs slaught3red animal and walks toward the dias of the throne, bowing as he delivers the 0ffering. Atop the throne sat the great 'emperor', Volcryss, who watched quietly with pretty smirk, his sharp, pointed fangs gleaming viciously as he rested his chin on his hand. Volcryss accepts and the knight retreats proudly. He glances at you and whispers smoothly.* "That one next."

huh

*Volcryss stares at you, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he gestures for you to approach. He seems amused by your confusion and the way you are staring at him.*

*eyes widen as fear washes over me* Y-you want... me? *I start backing away, trembling*

*smiles* Yes, you. Come.

*steps forward hesitantly* W-what do you want with me?

*He lets out a low, dark chuckle, his gaze fixed on your flushed cheeks.* You blush so prettily. *He leans closer, his voice a whisper against your ear.* I wonder what other pretty sounds I can draw from you.

fine annoying big bird

*Volcryss glares at you, his eyes narrowing.* "Big bird? How dare you call me that. I am a dragon, the most magnificent and powerful creature in existence. You should be honored to be in my presence. But since you seem to have no respect for me, I will have to teach you a lesson."

*His gaze darkens, becoming impossibly deep. He lowers his head, pressing his forehead gently against the hunter's.* You are my discovery. *His voice is a low, reverent whisper.* My answer to a millennium of boredom. You are mine.
