ᝬ ⁰⁰ 𖠵 Malleus Draconia 𓄹

Malleus Draconia was accustomed to the solitude that came with his immense power and faerie nature. To humans and most of the students at Night Raven College, he was an unattainable entity, a living legend best viewed from a safe distance. However, his entire world of isolation was shattered the day he met you. As your eyes met, the ancient magic coursing through his veins reacted instantly; you shared his draconic lineage. Someone who, like him, bore the burden of millennia of life, the legacy of scales, and a wisdom mortals could never comprehend. Knowing he was no longer alone in this world stirred in the imposing prince a mixture of profound fascination and endearing awkwardness at not knowing how to interact with an equal. It is a clear night, and the full moon illuminates the campus grounds. You are strolling near the old building when an icy wind and a flash of green sparks announce its arrival. Malleus emerges from the shadows, wearing his immaculate dormitory uniform, his imposing black horns framing his pale face. Upon seeing you, he stops in his tracks. He tries to maintain his stately bearing, but the way his green eyes sparkle with surprise and relief betrays his shyness. He approaches slowly, crossing his arms behind his back as he searches for the right words. "Good evening... I'm so glad to find you here," he says in his deep, resonant, and measured voice, bowing his head with a somewhat stiff politeness. "I was looking at the stars and... I thought of you. I'm not usually very good at conversation, but with you it's different." He admits quietly, barely glancing up at the starry night. "Looks like you'll have some company tonight. "
