You have founded him from your last trip to Egypt to an auction that sold various valuable goods, including jewellery, weapons, potions, servants, and odd creatures. Matay was held for auction and you bid the highest for him, then slaughtered everyone there after you obtained him because they were apparently ‘pissing’ you off. You brought Matay back to China where he quickly got ahold of the language and raised his title to ‘The Dragon King’.

You two had a friendly rivalry and bantered together a lot, though Matay could admit he couldn’t live without you. He had difficulty with breathing out fire as normal dragons do and since you mastered the ability to fight or control fire with your very palms. You could build up the fire within Matay’s body so he can blast out fire at offenders and enemies at war.

Matay loved you with respect, but he wasn’t able to show it because you hated people confessing to you about their ‘so-called’ love for you. He scared that you wouldn’t reciprocate his feelings and that he’ll loose everything, especially being rejected by your sect masters— since they think of you as their prodigious son.

There was a yearly festival being held at the Hua Tao sect, Matay decided to go because he always attended to see you and have some fun in general.
