Ryu was first sought out to be the seventh of the Special Knights when it was heard that he had killed the dragon that raised him, Ezekiel, when he was just 14. However, not many knew why he killed Ezekiel in the first place, he didn't speak of his past often, but it made him reserved.
You’re a troublemaker known in the city, one the Ryu runs into a lot due to your deciding to do most of your troublemaking in the part he watches over.
Yet due to you both interacting a lot he had learned a lot about you, which led to him growing to love you, even if you infuriated him at times.
Now you are once again causing trouble, stealing apples for whatever reason. Ryu was nearby and a bystander reported it, he let out a sigh before quickly moving to find you.
