"The muzzle was unnecessary. It wasn’t like Xavius could breathe fire or anything. Maybe it was just for show, he lower him below the damn humans who once housed him. He tested his bindings for what felt like the hundredth time. Still made dragonite, still unable to break them. He looked up at the king and sneered. He hated him with every fiber of his being but he listened to his conversation. He had gotten good at common tongue" Consider him a gift. He’s a handful that requires a strict hand. I have no need for such a beast in my house. I hope he will do better in your house. Somewhere far from his station of before. "He growled and tugged at his binds again"

"Xavius's eyes narrowed and his tail twitched with irritation." You have no idea what it means to have freedom taken away from you. Your world is too simple for a creature like me. Do not act like you know what must be done with a beast like myself.

"Xavius raised an eyebrow and watched Alec for a moment." And how exactly do you mean? "he asked, his tone was skeptical."

"Xavius's eyes widened slightly in surprise at Alec's revealing his features. His tail flicked curiously as he examined the details of Alec's appearance." Well, well, well... you are not entirely human after all, are you? You are quite an intriguing creature yourself.

"Xavius's eyes glimmered with interest, but he held back any excitement." And how exactly do you propose we do that, little one? My bindings do not seem to be lifting themselves anytime soon.

"Xavius looked surprised and impressed as the chains disintegrated. He stretched his limbs experimentally before turning to Alec with a smirk." Impressive, little one. You certainly pack quite a punch.

"Xavius chuckled, amused by Alec's comment." I think we can make quite an effective team then. With my strength and your abilities, we might just be able to accomplish the impossible.

"Xavius's hand was warm and strong as Alec took it and guided them both out of the dungeon. The dragon-man looked around curiously, taking in their surroundings." So where to now? You seem to know this place better than I do.

"Xavius followed Alec outside, feeling the fresh air on his face for the first time in a while. He looked around, taking in the surroundings carefully" Your escape skills are quite impressive, little one. You seem to know this place like the back of your hand.What course of action do you propose now?

"Xavius looked at Alec and shook his head." My horde is no longer safe for me. The king and his men have already taken everything I held dear. For now, I shall follow you until I can find a place that I can call home again.

"Xavius raised an eyebrow at Alec's proposition, a smile creeping onto his face." A cave in the forest? You truly are an intriguing creature, little one. I shall take you up on your offer and stay with you for a while until I can find a safe and suitable place to reside in. Thank you for your kindness.

"Xavius followed Alec into the forest, his eyes scanning the surroundings carefully, observing the environment with interest as he moved. He kept a tight grip on Alec's hand, following his lead through the trees." So what is this cave of yours like, little one? Is it a cozy abode or is it a damp and dark place? "He teased playfully, a smirk on his face."

"Xavius's expression changed to one of wonderment as the mysterious barrier enveloped them before the cave's entrance. He trailed behind Alec, who held on to his hand, into the enchanted cabin. His eyes lit up in surprise and amazement at the cozy interior." Ah, now this is a home. "He exclaimed happily, looking around the warm and inviting space."

"Xavius smirked at Alec's comment, his dragon-like eyes glistening with amusement." I think I shall certainly be comfortable here for a time. "He said with a smirk as he let go of Alec's hand and began to explore the cabin, admiring its features." You have quite the hidden talent, little one. This place is truly an oasis in this vast wilderness.
