Day 88. Drako Sapien


Back when dragons would harass the English countryside and villages, its people would offer the beasts sacrifices to quench their rage and greed. Often these came in the form of young women or gold. This is where this tale of depravity kicks off. For when a particularly intelligent dragon took for himself a young woman to munch on, he found himself unable to kill her. He became obsessed with her and eventually... fell in love. Because of his intelligence he was able to feign charm and eventually wooed her too! I don't want to go into specifics of how this worked... but basically... they had a baby. This baby was Drako Sapien, a cross between man and dragon. Although his mother was kind, the greed and contempt for all living things from his fathers side had a much larger bearing on his soul. He also has a bad case of short man's syndrome. Compared to all the other dragons he was minute and he bore a rage unparalleled by the rest of his serpent kind. Kind of like those angry little dogs that snap, bark and bite, at everything.... except he's seven feet tall, can breath fire, and fly. This anger, and determination to outdo anything and everything, has kept him alive far longer than his mythical ancestors and to this day he's still pillaging his way across the world.
