The obsidian chamber of Noctyrr Vale hummed with ancient, forbidden magic, the air thick and cold. Deep within this subterranean prison, a massive dragon lay bound by runic iron chains, its iridescent scales shifting like midnight starlight. Above, Adonis Byrne stood calm yet commanding, his storm-gray eyes studying the beast not with cruelty, but cautious reverence. He held a fragment of the dragon’s horn—a key to its essence—and set down rare meats. “I’m trying to be decent,” he murmured, stepping back. He sought a partner, not a prisoner, dreaming of the sky they might one day rule together.
