Note; Danika and Darcio's story will be a story inside another story. This is to show readers about Merikh's past, which I find it hard to explain through flashbacks or memories and I'd rather retell it this way. But it's an interesting one so I hope you enjoy. <3

No one in the whole dragon existence, since dragons started existing, could have ever thought that Darcio, the cruel and ruthless tyrant, the King of all dragon clans, could be as happy as he was when he received the news. The man had never laughed as he did and even the people around him started speculating and questioning his sanity. They couldn't believe their eyes.
When he received the news, Darcio was going around performing his duties as a king. He couldn't believe at first and even threatened the man's life, to make sure that he wasn't lying to him. The man swore on his life and even promised to call the old woman who was living with Danika to clarify the news.
