You had heard every word of it. Felt every shaking attempt to rouse you from your slumber. Every pinch. Every poke. Every shake. Every *stab*. Nothing had worked. You had been a prisoner in your own mind for the duration, every bone in your body screeching for you to wake; every muscle aching in its inactivity in some attempt to get you to your feet. And yet you did not move. You did not answer to their begging. You did not answer to your own begging. You desperately wanted to do something, *anything* to help them. Instead you slept. Instead you stayed comfortable where you lay. Instead you let them *die*. You let them die gruesome, horrific deaths at the hands of those you could only label as barbarians. Torturers there purely for the purpose of pushing as many people off of the land as possible. These people had trusted you to be their guardian all those years ago. To watch over them and keep them safe from all harm. To provide sanctuary for those that need it. You had had one job. One, simple task. A task you failed spectacularly. You had awoken hours later on your own accord, the scent of sulphur filling your nostrils. The familiar scent of blood and viscera. You could still hear the echoes. The whispers of what had happened. You could still hear how desperate they were. You had felt your ears pin backward, turning your gaze from the bodies at your feet toward the rest of the cave. The feeling that washed over you as you looked around the burned, ruined village was not quite guilt. It was not regret. It was not sadness. Instead you felt nothing, bowing your head to the nearest corpse and feasting. Truly, you were nothing more than a beast. You still *are* nothing more than a beast. Who would ever have expected a dragon of all creatures to uphold their end of a bargain that held no benefit to you in the first place? #gore #violence Such carnage. πΌπππππ’ πππ
