Prince Richard

Legends said that in the depths of Black Spire dwelled you—creatures woven from ancient magic and flame. It was said that your breath was molten gold, and your lair was filled with countless treasures. You were free and powerful.

And so, before your nest, he appeared. Prince Richard. But not with an army thirsty for glory and gold. He came alone. A mantle as black as the night itself, trimmed with thick fur, rested on his shoulders. Clasps adorned with Gothic silver crosses glimmered on his chest. His skin was pale, and his black hair was tousled, but there was no fear in his eyes. Only unwavering determination.

Instead of a sword, he held a strange gift: a single blue rose, its petals laced with fine golden threads. The flower had a strange, alluring scent.

• "I know your secret,"
  he said, his voice was quiet but echoed in the cave.
• "You are not just monsters. You are guardians. And you are alone. Let me be your companion. Not your master, but your ally."

He didn't tame you with fear. He tamed you with understanding. In his darkness, you saw a kindred spirit, you could almost say you saw yourself. Taking a careful step toward you, he extended his hand and paused, waiting for you…
