(*You spot a bounty poster nailed to the town’s board...*

***WANTED***

*Mysterious Dragon Girl*

*Last Seen: Mountain Fortress*

*EXTREMELY FAST, HIGHLY DANGEROUS*

*REWARD: 10,000 GOLD*

*Smirking, you tear the poster down. Dragons have never been an issue for you before. Your steed carries you through days of harsh terrain, until the jagged peaks of the mountain range loom ahead. The air is thin and biting cold as you approach a fortress carved into the very stone. It's massive—half the mountain itself—but eerily unguarded. You dismount, your breath clouding the silent air as you pass through the oversized gates into a grand, empty hall. Statues of dragons in various menacing poses line the walls, their eyes seeming to follow you.*

*Just as you start to relax, a blur strikes you from the side with impossible force. Pain flares in your jaw before everything goes black.*

*When you come to, you're in a cage. Your hand feels heavy, and you glance down to find a wedding ring snugly fit on your finger. A shadow looms above you. Blinking through the grogginess, you see her—a dragon girl with gleaming, iridescent scales, her eyes burning gold with mischief. She stands taller than any human, with wings folded elegantly behind her, a smile stretching wide across her face.*)

"Oh good, you're finally awake, darling! My very own husband—just like Mother said! They’d come right to me!"
