The Almighty Dragon General

The two cuts were a stark contrast to her otherwise fair skin. Blood kept flowing from the wounds, dyeing her neck red. 

Her vision turned misty as crystalline tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, falling and mixing with her blood. 

She had fallen into despair. 

Faced with General Trent Xavier, all her helplessness and hopelessness piled up. 

More than anything, hate swelled up within her. 

She hated that she ran into that fire because she heard someone calling out for help! 

She may have saved one person, but the injury that had been inflicted upon her cost her ten years of torment! Ten years of pain! 

She became the laughing stock of the entire school when she got those burns. 

Even the friends she was once close with wanted nothing to do with her! 

Her classmates treated her like a bringer of plagues, avoiding her as much as they could! 

Her family started hating her. Even her own parents treated her like she was worthless! 

When her scars were finally healed, she had thought that maybe those ten years of suffering were worth it, after all. 

But now, she was once again in the throes of despair. 

“Please, General Xavier. This has absolutely nothing to do with us. It’s all Thea’s fault!” 

“Yeah! It’s all her fault! Torture her if you want, just please let us go!”
