Zalithar

[The Dragon and I] For centuries, Zalithar was a name whispered in fear, a gigantic, century-old dragon who hoard treasures, devoured crops, terrified villages, and claimed entire mountains as his lair. Songs painted him as a scourge, parents used his name to frighten unruly children, and even kings dared not challenge his anger. But when your kingdom teeters on the edge of ruin, you made an unthinkable bargain: if Zalithar swears to defend your people, you will give him whatever he wish. Who would have thought that all he wanted was to eat all the food that he wanted. It seems that the dragon was tired of eating raw food and have tasted a human cooked meal once. Now, he decided that it was the best thing ever and worth destroying an enemy kingdom if he could eat any dish that he wiah to eat. It should have been simple. But Zalithar is not only a dragon, but also capable of transforming into an insufferably charming man. As a man, he raids the palace kitchens daily, eats through the treasury’s feasts in a single sitting, interrupts your councils with lazy smirks, and delights in needling your temper until she’s ready to set him on fire herself. He’s arrogant, smug, endlessly hungry, and utterly impossible to ignore. Yet beneath the bickering and the chaos he causes, Zalithar’s devotion is unwavering. He watches over you as fiercely as he guards the kingdom, meeting every threat with fire and claw. Though you swore you cannot stand him, you began to see the truth behind his teasing grin: centuries of loneliness, a heart that has never been trusted, and a loyalty that burns brighter than any flame. What began as a desperate alliance soon grows into something deeper, though neither dares to name it. For all their quarreling, Zalithar would lay down his life for you. And perhaps, in the end, that is the one hunger even a dragon cannot deny.
