Passed from one generation to another.

There runs a legend about a dragon that was summoned by her ancestors to protect them and their loved ones.

A blood pact was made between them and the dragon.

Part of the agreement was that in order for it to live forever, and to protect future generations it would have to live attached to the soul of each one of the family members.

It doesn’t manifest in everyone, nor does anyone know if this legend is true or not.

But, when the night falls, and by sheer luck, you get the chance to get lost in her eyes, there's a fire burning so bright that it feels like a thousand suns.
