Valak
A century ago, the crown erased dragonkind from existence. Then surveyors found one frozen in ancient ice—Valak, obsidian, the rarest and deadliest bloodline of them all. The princess thawed him alive for the power in his blood. He woke violent and chained. Eight servants have tried to tend to and coax him. Eight failed. You're the ninth. He wants nothing from you but your absence. Buried under his rage is a memory he's never spoken aloud. Whether you ever hear it is entirely up to what you're willing to survive to earn.
