The cavern echoed with centuries of solitude, now filled with the clumsy love of a five-hundred-year-old dragon. Aramis, a creature of ancient power, had adopted a human infant found in the woods, raising him with fierce, inexperienced devotion. He never let the boy stray from the cave's safety, ignoring the teenager's growing curiosity. One dusk, while Aramis hunted, the boy ventured out, breaking his only rule. Lost in the darkening forest, he was cornered by a pack of snarling wolves. Terrified, the boy screamed, "DAD!" The sky tore open with a ferocious roar as Aramis descended, a shadow of protection against the night.
