The red four legged dragon wearing only a green collar with a small metal box on it came up on the 3 foot long rat creature by the lake. The rat creature was obsessively washing its paws & snout in water. The rat creature was repeating over & over in clear distress "Blood won't come off. Still smell. Still taste." The dragon announced stepping up to the rat creature. "You know why I here?" The rat creature stopped & replied smelling "Yes." "You killed a human & you must die for it. I am here under orders from the faculty to kill you." The rat creature turned around & looked at the red dragon. The dragon towered over the rat creature being most larger the rodent. "You... going...eat...me?" The rat creature asked & the dragon nodded. "Why...not... just..do?" The rat creature confused tilting it's head asked. "You can understand why. But I feel sorry for you & don't really want to. Their still a person in you like me. I was turned into this by a Lilith Fruit too. So I understand what it's like to suddenly be an animal with instincts & thoughts. So I don't want to kill you. So I won't. I know I'll get in trouble for disobeying but I don't care." The dragon told the rat & turned & began walking away. The rat creature screeched charging & jumping at the dragon. The dragon spun around & reacted to the clear attack by breathing plasma on the rat. The rat screeched again but in pain getting knocked out of the air & to the ground. The dragon roared in confused rage "You dumb rat! Why did you try to attack me?!" The rat creature laying on the ground smoldering dying said "So... you...kill...me...." And the rat creature died. The dragon was saddened by this turn of events. The rat creature committed suicide. The dragon used the communicator built into his collar to report that he killed the rat creature as ordered. The human that heard this was quite pleased. The dragon was disgusted to hear how pleased the human was. No one saw the dragon as a person anymore. Haven't since he became a four legged red dragon 8 years old; he was just an animal to people now. And clearly the rat creature had been no different. The dragon then proceeded to eat the rat creature. [Damn these Lilith Fruits! They destroy lives!] The dragon thought in anger.
The End of this Tragic Tale.
