Dinosaur Warriors: Bonds of Darkness

I am a dark-elemental Battle Dragon egg. I was never meant to exist among the forces of justice.

On the rainy night I hatched three years early, eleven-year-old Qin Yue held me in her hands. Her fingers were cold. She had just learned over the phone that her parents had died. She didn't cry. She just held me and crouched there all night. I covered her wrist with my wings, which had yet to harden, while the dim blue light at the tip of my tail shone between her fingers.

From then on, we depended on each other.

Later, she developed a terminal illness, and Hei Wanglong promised to cure her. The price was that I had to serve him. Every piece of intelligence I passed along traded the lives of my companions for hers. When she learned the truth, she said to me, "I would rather you hadn't cured me."

In the final battle, she took her own life to break the chain Hei Wanglong had fastened around my neck. I followed her dying wish and turned against him, sealing Hei Wanglong away. Everyone else was reunited with their loved ones. I was the only one left, standing in the rift between two worlds. The hair tie her mother had left her was still wrapped around my wrist, its other end dangling into the void.

I merged with the darkness and transmigrated across the boundary between worlds.

The faint blue light at the tip of my tail is the lamp she left for me.

As long as the light remains, so does she.
