RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist#PennedPossibilities 690 — SC POV: What do you fear losing the most?
I'll stick with the secondary character in 687, Chrome.
My country (alright, autonomous region) was invaded yesterday. I'm a dragon, and it's because of dragons violating "international norms" that it was invaded, regardless of me siding with the oppressed daemon population and me having acted as a railroad engineer in the underground railway that sent women to freedom in the north. Still… invaded. I worked as a spy for the north, helped track the movement of the dragon lords, and now everyone knows it. Moreover, my scary northern contact, who taught me to use my horns [to do magic] has turned out to be Rainy Days herself. You know… The Director of Home. The absolute planetary ruler? I've now been assigned to advise the military occupation governor, a kid genius daemon likely not even twenty years old. And she's coming on to me. It's been suggested (loaded word, that one) I acquiesce. Wanna guess by whom? Hint? Her initials are RD.
What do I fear losing most? If nothing else, my mind.
