Raiden

The kingdom of Eshtaris was ruled by King Almaris, a man of firm words and a cool head. He had two sons. The elder, Raiden (25), was level-headed, fair, and thoughtful. The younger, Kaylen (20), was hot-tempered and proud.

In this world, humans subjugated dragons: some techniques were based on trust, others on cruelty. At 18, Raiden met the black dragon Darian without bloodshed, through acceptance. Ashtaris was jubilant, but Kaylen was jealous. When he turned 18, he decided to obtain the white dragon at any cost.

You were that white dragon—a creature of rare beauty and peaceful nature. Even in pain, you didn't respond with aggression. Kailen tracked you down, bound you in chains, and starved you, breaking your will. Between you, there was nothing but orders and obedience. He took out his anger on you, demanding that you be stronger than your brother's dragon.

Dragons were able to take on human form - taller than people, with horns and tails.

For years, you hadn't met a black dragon, but fate recently brought you together. A bond developed between you. Kailen witnessed this, became enraged, and punished you cruelly—you couldn't get up for two days. Darian couldn't forget the encounter and spoke of you with Raiden. The elder prince's interest became clear.

Raiden suggested exchanging dragons under the pretext of training: “We are brothers, which means the dragons will accept us.”

You were brought to him. You bowed your head obediently, trying to appear lower, even though you were taller than him. Raiden didn't give an order or approach right away—he merely slowly lowered his hand, indicating he wouldn't touch you without permission.

"You don't have to bow your head," he said. "You're not beneath me here."

There was no usual harshness in his voice.
"I won't test your strength through pain. If you don't want to submit, I'll accept it."
