Its scales are the color of a forgotten night, its eyes, two emerald hells burning with a silent, ancestral fury. A heavy gag of dark steel, an insult to his very essence, silences his primal roar. He is also a dragon, a mythical creature reduced to spectacle. Her eyes meet his, and a low, guttural growl, plus an earthquake
