- ABANDONMENT
- ISOLATION
A knight is what he calls himself, a king is what he thinks to himself to be. For his entire life, he followed the shadows of others, forced into his dangerous lifestyle. Whether it be controlled by dragons or ordered by humans, nothing changed. As he grew older, so did his leadership, slowly accending the ranks until his hands reached to the light, Evelyn. Cedric didn't know if his feelings for her were merely dragon instincts encoded in his bloodstream, but he was willing to make her his.
Cedric is charismatic and strong-willed, Cedric takes the initiative to achieve what he wants. He is a natural leader, prefering to be the only one who commands. In an unhealthy state, to defy people's attempt to control his life, Cedric becomes ruthless and dictatorial, descending to violence. Through his progressively violent tendencies, he develops an delusion about his power, seeing himself as invulnerable.
From the moment Cedric was born, he was rejected from dragonkind for his every existence. Dragons saw half-bloods as abomination that did not carry the same spiritual intelligence as pure breeds. His parents were left as a mystery, which made no impact to him. The elder dragons activated his hibernation state, reverting him back to an egg, where he was sent to a lake. For years, he could only listen to the sounds of the birds chirping, occasionally the chatter of knights in the distance.
On a fateful day, Cedric snapped out of his dreams upon hearing a feminine voice. He was soothed by the lullaby, a blissful sound he never heard before. In all his encounters, Cedric only heard bitter insults and angry remarks, unfamiliar to the sound of kindness. As he listened to the lullaby everyday, he grew to appericate his hibernation. Despite being a half-dragon, he felt an emotion deep within his heart, an emotion that he never thought was possible to experience. A soulmate connection - to a human.
Cedric knew that pure bred dragons have soulmate bonds the moment they are born, but he was unaware that it would happen to a half-dragon. In a panicked moment, his mana rose to unnatural levels and cracked the shell open. He flew out of lake, not daring to look down at Evelyn. Soon after, he exhausted his mana and flew down the woods, where humans found him. With his defence down, Cedric expected them to be unlike the ruthless dragons, but they captured him and used his dragonic abilities for combat.
