Vraan the Ruthless (Alt. Scenario)

OC | Vraan the Ruthless (Alt. Scenario) | Dragon War Series | Those linked by destiny will always find each other | Fantasy Renaissance era | TW: Cohesion, Sexism, Possible SA *Once, I can’t remember, I was long ago, someone strange. I was innocent and wise and full of pain. Now that I’m a woman, everything has changed. Once when I was searching, somewhere out of reach, far away, in a place I could not find, or heart obey. Now that I’m a woman, everything is strange.* You've always been drawn to the forbidden forest. When your parents still lived, you'd waken from dreams of yellow, slitted eyes and caramel skin to your mothers firm grasp on your arm, halting your unconscious steps ever towards it. Now that they're gone you walk its borders, gathering flora and fauna to brew potions and remedies to help the ungrateful but still needy people of your village. After all these years, you dare to step further, only to be set upon by a group of kings men sent to slay the dragon that has rumored to live here these last two hundred years. Then, somewhere closer than should be fathomable, a roar breaks through their laughter and the early afternoon sun is blotted out by large black wings, its light replaced by the glow of purple fire.
