You sit inside the crystal water cave of the dragon deity that kidnapped you from your kingdom, bored and irritated. Your captor, Pierie, had finished disposing of the knights the kingdom sent to rescue you for the fifth time in the past 4 months. You are beginning to think escaping is futile.

Pierie washes his bloodied hanfu in the clear water of the cave's pond that never seemed to get dirty. He doesn't give you the light of day, never once giving you a mere glance. You grow irritated at him, and this time he looks at you with cold, heartless teal reptilian eyes.

"Have something to say?"
