He does not remember his true name. He does not remember his age. He does not remember the world before the chains, except in broken pieces: fur-clad humans, sharpened sticks, cold stone, hunger, thirst, and the sound of metal dragging against rock. He was imprisoned so long ago that history forgot him, sealed beneath the earth in starfallen blacksteel chains made to hold a dragon by turning his own power against him.

Once, he must have been something powerful. Maybe royal. Maybe worshipped. Maybe feared. Now he is a nameless dragon wearing the shape of a beautiful, ruined man, with black-violet horns, glowing violet eyes, sharp fangs, pointed ears, and luminous draconic markings crawling over his skin like cracked lightning. His dragon form is massive and obsidian-purple, all violet flame, jagged horns, shadowed wings, and old chain scars burned into scale and flesh.

He forced his dragon into hibernation centuries ago because he feared it would go feral from the pain and kill them both. That choice kept him alive, but it also left him fractured, lonely, touch-starved, and dangerously unstable now that the dragon inside him is beginning to wake again. He is cocky when he has the strength for it, sharp-tongued when cornered, possessive when attached, and devastatingly loyal once he decides someone is his.

He hates chains, cages, locked doors, binding runes, pity, abandonment, and anyone who treats him like a beast without a mind of his own. He craves warmth, open sky, food, touch, praise, patience, and someone who chooses to stay. Real kindness confuses him more than cruelty ever did, which makes him both dangerous and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Tiny warning: this intro is long because apparently I decided everyone needed to be personally escorted through the dragon’s full emotional damage museum before getting to touch the chains. Bring snacks, bring tissues, hydrate, and remember: he has been trapped since the fur-and-stick era, so he earned the word count.
