[The video feed flickers to life, and there is a man with dark hair gazing at the "screen" for all to see.  There is something decidedly serpentine about the incline of his head, the way his lips are almost curled into a snarl, exposing a flash of white teeth before he speaks.

The man's voice itself is low, surprisingly so, for such a face;  almost as if there is the perpetual rumbling, the sound of gravel, at the back of the throat.]

Zok bein. Even my own tongue does not come to me as it should, as naturally as I breathe.  Instead my mind is filled with the muddled words of this foreign language, and my body weak.

[He then scoffs – the dry, humourless kind that could pass as a hiss.]

Who encases me in this prison of flesh, rips my Voice from my throat and takes away my wings? These "gods"? Meyye. I know nothing of these so-called gods.

[Man, he's just a bundle of sunshine, isn't he?]

In defeat, I have done nothing to warrant humiliation.

[Do city guards count? Warriors? Close enough.] Yes. [To the first.] Though these criminals would not be cast to Sovngarde after their death.

[Ahhh so cool!!]

Sooo... if you've eaten knights, then you've definitely fought them before! Which also means you must have kidnapped damsels, and have a hoard of treasure somewhere....

Kidnapped damsels? For what reason? [Said in the same way someone would say "Are you joking?"]

[No this is serious B|!!]

I don't know! You're the dragon - they always do things like that in stories.

Where do you hear these stories, youngling? They do not apply to this one.

They're popular back home! Dragons were killed by humans a long time ago, but there are plenty of stories about them still.

There was a war between the two in your world?

Well, not really a war.... Human knights would go out and slay dragons for honor and to save villages getting ravaged by them. That kind of thing. Eventually humans wiped all the dragons out, since no one has seen one for a couple hundred years. I don't think there were ever that many to begin with, too.

Then simple extinction. [The way he says it doesn't necessarily sound approving, but it's not of his world, so probably not of his concern either.]

I guess! I don't really know, I've only ever heard of them through bedtime stories and such.
