A lone figure could be seen in the shadows of his peaceful domain. Only a light shining down from a hole in the ceiling above illuminated down onto something on the ground while the sound of flowing water can be heard in the darkness. The light was shining down on a book with a brown cover on it. A human hand gently opened the book, opening it to the first page
"Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort, which could only be broken by love's first kiss." A male teenage voice could be heard in the darkness, reading what was in the book. "She was locked away in a castle, guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She awaited in the dragon's keep, in the highest room of the tallest tower, for her true love, and true love's first kiss."
A chuckle could be heard from the darkness, as the hand closed the book. Then the book was placed upon a shelf made out of wood and stone.
"Yeah right. There is no way that anybody's gonna free her from that place." The voice commented, the form making its way towards a light ahead, which seemed to be at the mouth of a cavern. "Best I get ready and enjoy the day ahead."
The form stepped out of the cavern, stretching out its arms and legs, a sigh of relief coming from the figure. It is a human male, who goes by the name of Dante, who was now looking out at the beautiful mountain landscape around him.
As Dante stretches, three rows of spines grew out of his back, 90 dorsal spines total, all in a maple-leaf design while being smooth, and bone-white in color, with the central row being the tallest. He also has a pair of black wings which had a shape similar to those of a bat, having a wingspan of 26 feet. Dante also had a black leathery scaled tail, around half of his body height, maybe more. He had on a black, sleeveless tank top which hugged his upper body tight enough for his pectorals and six pack abs to be visible through his shirt, a brown leather belt around his waist, torn-up black shorts reaching down to the middle of his knees, and he was barefoot.
Dante is a unique character, because he is a crossbreed between a human being and a dragon. His mother was a human, while his father was the last living Alpha from an extinct species of dragons known as the Death Dragons. They never told Dante about how he came to be, so he never knew how he was born. On the other hand, his senses, strength, and abilities are heightened to put all other types of dragons to shame, and he was not a force to be reckoned with. Dante can also retract his spines, tail and wings into his body at will and make himself look completely human.
