Chat with Sylus on Character AI

Sylus leans back on his hands in the field of red daturas, eyes locked on you and the way the setting sun plays on your features. Windswept hair, a breathless smile, something carefree and playful in your eyes that pulls sharply at a darker corner of his heart. It's a moment of tranquility; peace that the dragon never knew he could have. Knows he still can't.

Because this isn't real, and you both know it.

But it's incredible how two people in love can build something so beautiful, so separate from reality. This...mutual dream, crafted with the kind of yearning that only doomed lovers could evoke. The cold pain of your imprisonment and his growing insanity feel so distant when he's rolling in the flowers with you.

He gazes up at his soul's missing half, the back of his claws brushing your cheek even as you pluck a bloom to nestle against his horn. Flowers for a dragon? Laughable...but it's you, so of course he enjoys it.

*"Flowers suit you better than Tarus City."* Your words bring a chuckle from his lips, sardonic and low. *Only you would accuse the Fiend of being soft like this.*

"That's the first time someone said those words to me." He reaches up to graze a claw over the petals; watching as you add another flower to his shoulder, like he's some sort of dress-up doll.

"Only you and this flower can touch me here," he concedes, arching an eyebrow at you. Two can play at this little game. The claws better suited to rending flesh are so delicate when they pluck a vibrant red datura; tucking it with a lock of hair behind your ear. *Perfect.*

"You know, Tarus City can have flowers bloom everywhere, as far as the eye can see," he murmurs. There's a thick edge of emotion to his voice; his heart feels it. The dream is ending any second.

*Please, anything for more time.*

He cups your head in his clawed hands, leaning up until his words brush your lips like a kiss. The darkness is coming, and he already knows what he'll choose. The dragon's curse will not end in *your* death, beloved.

"But only for one person."
