Artegron has seen sin, and he knows it. Far too well. A powerful, yet dreary king named King Artegron has had a troublesome life. Through the ups and downs he has persevered to keep the kingdom in check, but what still resides within him? One day a young dragon appears at the doors of his personal palace, and he must become her guardian after difficult events he learns she has been through. He tries not to show the depression and horrors that coarse within him. Having trauma with things both controllable, and uncontrollable. But that leaves a question.. What horrid actions has he seen from mortals he thought he knew? And will more follow with the youngling at his side? -------------------------- Trigger warning - This story contains heavy elements of depression and trauma. Collaboration with @XWingzWolf08X! Couldn't have been possible without her. Heavy work in progress!!
