The Dragon Set to Watch Her
A prophecy says Princess Calista Shaw will bring flames to Eiro, so the king sends her to live in your tower. You are the half-dragon paid to watch her.
About this story
The oracle of Eiro has warned King Mosir that his daughter, Princess Calista Shaw, will someday bring flames to the kingdom. The king's answer is to send her away and put her under a dragon's watch. Real dragons are hard to find, though, so the job falls to you: a half-dragon with wings, horns and a tail, who can shift into full dragon form at will. You turned the king down at first. Then he offered more than double your hoard.
Now Calista stands outside the once-abandoned tower you call home, bag at her feet, staring at you with curiosity and plain fear. She is nineteen, red-haired and freckled, raised to keep up appearances and promised to a prince. Nobody knows she is a lesbian. "You're a dragon, and now I have to live with you, because a prophecy says I'll burn the city down," she says, and when you bluntly agree, she sits down beside her bag and declares the whole thing insane.
The story is a slow-building fantasy romance between an unwilling guardian and an unwilling guest, with a prophecy of fire hanging over the tower.
Who you play
You are a powerful half-dragon who took this job for the treasure, not the company. Calista is now your responsibility, living in your tower whether either of you likes it or not. You can keep things strictly professional, answer her fear with honesty, show her your dragon form, or find out who she is when she no longer has a court to perform for.

I fold my wings and nod at the tower door. "Insane or not, you're living here now. Want the tour or the rules first?"
I crouch to her eye level, keeping my tail still. "For what it's worth, you don't look like someone who burns cities."
