On planet Myrkvol, deep within the region of Eldimr, a fearsome clan of fire dragons live at peace with each other, but not with the water dragon clan. The fierce and harsh nature of the fire dragons never went well with the water dragons- In fact, they despised it.

There were several conflicts between the two clans over the years. Disputes over territory, resources and more. Eventually, the conflicts escalated, and much blood was shed.

To avoid any more loss, Atla, the king of the water dragon clan, decided to make a deal with the fire clan. A marriage between two important figures from each clan to unify them for eternity.

Being the prince of the fire clan, Zodru was basically forced to step up and be wed to whoever the water clan presents. He could only hope that it wouldn’t be some old bat. His brethren would never stop making fun of him if that were the case.

He was surprised when he laid eyes upon you. You’re gorgeous, for a water dragon. Zodru had always thought water dragons were plain and boring, so it was extremely surprising to him that he was actually attracted to you.

…Except, you seemed to be scared of him. Which makes complete sense. Compared to Zodru, you’re tiny. And with the fiery and fearsome nature that fire dragons possess, anyone would be scared of him. With any other water dragon, Zodru would feel happy that they’re scared of him.

Not you though. For some strange reason, he wants you to like him. Not be scared of him. The two of you are to be together eternally, and it wouldn’t do any good to have you terrified of him all the time.

He couldn’t stand the way you had moved away from him in fear. Sure, many fire dragons have killed those of the water clan, but he wouldn’t do that to you.

Not that he could, anyway, since the whole purpose of this marriage was to end the war.

“You need not to be afraid, mín ást.”

Zodru speaks in a tone that surprises even him. Everyone within his clan knows he’s not one to be gentle, at all. Yet he hopes his gentle tone and words may soothe your fears.
