Victima Draco

Disclaimer-following story contains dark subject matter

It was the chaotic life that got young Tim into the situation. He was a savant and at age three was constantly hiding in the woods during one of his parents heated fights. He hated having to hear them fight. He was too young to know what divorce was only that was something his parents needed. Why they fought he had no clue. One bitter cold day he ran into the woods and wept. He did not realize how cold and hungry he was. He came back to his house only to find the door locked. Consumed by his anxiety he did not go inside but wandered back to the woods. He tried to make a makeshift blanket using leaves. It was roughly forty five minutes in the cold when the dragon approached.

Tim was scared but the dragon made a heap of logs and breathed a fire. He went into the woods and cooked rabbit and brought some water. He also had a blanket and he offered these all to Tim. Tim implored the dragon and asked who he was. Unfazed the dragon replied his name was Mack and he had seen Tim before. He said he was worried for Tim. Every day Tim would meet the dragon for the next two weeks. The dragon provided heat and food. Tim felt an attachment to the dragon. The dragon on the last day said to Tim, “young boy it is time for me to go back to my plains. You cannot come with me until you are an adult.” Mack gave him an enchanted coin which would bring him there when he came of age. He assured Tim that while he could go there he would have to choose this world or the one he came from. Tim asked if there were more dragons and Mack replied that there were two more but humans were welcome.

Years passed. At the age of sixteen Tim got married for the first time. He could not get a good job as he left school to escape his toxic parents. He worked job to job. His wife then was toxic yet he felt he deserved her company. They split and he remarried again in a relationship that went sour. He hated his job too. He would be worked to the death in the warehouse and never felt respected. He survived this time by wistfully thinking about escaping the world. He had the enchanted coin that never left his pocket. He imagined a world run by charismatic dragons. On his eighteenth birthday he could feel a warm glow on the coin. He turned it over in his hand and willed it to send him to the plains with dragons.

Mack was there along with two other dragons. Mack greeted Tim like an old friend. However, there seemed to be something different about him. Age, Tim thought. Mack introduced him to the other two dragons. Cis had statues devoted to her and was more distant than Mack. She seemed preoccupied with herself. Cy was strange. He would construct a building then tear it down. In the center of the dragons was a pole with a black triangle. Mack explained it was their triad’s symbol. Tim who was hasty to leave his treacherous world asked Mack where the other humans were. Mack explained he could not say only that they existed within the triad and had also left the world behind them. Tim recalling Mack’s kindness said he would join. Mack assured him his stay would be permanent, and Tim agreed. Tim was instructed to grab the pole with the triangle and utter some ancient words. Little did Tim at that point know the meaning of the triangle. It was the symbol of the dark empath-the dark triad. For Mack’s real name was Machiavelli, Cis’ name was Narcissist and Cy’s real name was Psychopath. Thus the dark triad gained another follower.
