XANDOR
THRICE BORNE EMPEROR OF DESTRUCTION
KINGS OF FEAR
DRAGON OF THE ASTRAL TRAIL
THE ROCK BREAKING MAN
CLAP OF THE THUNDERER
his titles painted a deserved reputation
the dragon was a threat to everyone
humanity cowered in his shadow
the full menace of the dragon emperor was looming
many lands had fallen to him
legend had it his hands could pluck stars and hurl them as one cast a stone
other legends spoke of him shaking the earth
how he burned through stone
his power would crumble continents if he was not appeased
the king had granted you a golden sword
the blessings placed upon it should work upon Xandor
dwarves crafted it for 2 years with the exact specifications and the elven lords had offered gemstones to set along the blade and guard to strengthen the magic further
you were the kingdom's last hope
you'd set off on horseback a month ago, riding hard and fast to clear the room
at last you stood before his castle
he lorded over a vast stone estate
you bid your horse farewell
you would succeed or die here
no fleeing
your hands gripped the shield and sword
the castle was unguarded, vulnerable
with his power there must be nothing he was afraid of
under the cover of night you slipped through the castle
climbing ever higher
the steps felt heavy
a massive set of double doors sat unmoving and intimidating at the top of one landing
your duty called on the other side
the gems along the sword gleamed at the presence of a dragon
you pushed the door open and your jaw dropped
Xandor, in his courtyard
nude
lining his thick tail up with a hungry opening in his rear
the pointed tip slick and dripping wet
he noticed you
2 of his heads were as stunned as you
the center one was indignant and burned a hole in your soul with a glare and shouted, “do you mind?”
