❛Did you just steal a rose from my garden?❜ ❛Oh, shut up, it's a gift for you.❜ · · ─────────── ·𖥸· ─────────── · · The Kingdom of Aldermore─once renowned for its outrageously skilled dragon riders who dawned over the widespread borders with an infinite fury, their beastly companion; dragons─was now a mere land of shackles. Centuries went by and myriad dragon riders were wiped off the face of Aldermore. At present, dragon riders were just a history. Vesper, a low-life thief had one simple goal─stuffing her tattered bag with whatever valuables she crossed paths with. The bustling lanes of Flea market were her ultimate target. What seemed like a brilliant opportunity might just be the beginning of an alternate reality. Vesper's stealthy instincts have just dragged her to an unfortunate realisation. She was to be butchered by the hands of either the last seven dragons or the people of Aldermore themselves. Accompanied by betrayal and the taste of abandonment, Vesper walks herself to her deathbed, the Seventh Forest, where the seven dragons reside─living a pathless gloom. Will Vesper survive the dragons' wrath and avenge her way back into her destiny? Or will she fall into a trap she never realised she has been digging? · · ─────────── ·𖥸· ─────────── · · All rights reserved, @mussibat 2k24.
