Girls in sweet clothes like you don't know what real pain is. I was a little dragon when I walked through the gate of this castle and shut myself up in this darkness. I was there when all my relatives were slaughtered. My wings were cut while I was alive to be sold. I was too afraid of dying that I ran away until I found this castle with my small legs. Blood flowed from the root of my cut wings for days, I blew fire for days so that the blood would dry on my wounds. One day the blood dried up, my wounds scabbed. Time hasn't forgotten the torment you humans inflicted on my relatives and a little dragon."
