Description
Last bit from Oathbound for a while. We borrowed Scythe, my dragon character, and used him in this rp:A tribe of horsemen were, um, peeved with the young dragon for eating their stud stallion and a few mares. While he was resting in human shape they snuck up on him and chained him so he can't take dragon form again... but now they hold a wolf by the ears. As her duty standing between magic and the world of men, Gwendolyn finds herself duty bound to aid him, but also to protect the people from him...
(Gwendolyn) I doubt I could persuade them to free you without you promising not to kill them or their horses.
(dragon) I will kill them. Release me.
(Gwendolyn) I cannot. I haven't the power. ::looking at his shackles::
(dragon) Get the keys and unchain me! ::it's less ordering and almost- almost- begging::
(Gwendolyn) No, my lord. I-I would...that I could. I cannot allow you to do what you wish should I do so, even if I could get the keys.
(dragon) :;eyes bright, hissing:: Release me..
(Gwendolyn) Promise you will do no harm to these people or their animals.
(dragon) I cannot.
(Gwendolyn) Then I cannot release you, my lord. As much as I would like to.
(dragon) ::eyes narrowing:: Traitorous wretch!! ::lunges at her::
(Gwendolyn) ::cries out in surprise and dives sideways out of the way::
(dragon) :;comes to the end of the chains snarling::

Have you ever read the book Dragons Bait (I think thats what its called) by Vivian Vande Velde? I love her work, and this situation sort of reminds me of the book

I do like the Scythe, and he lives in your pencil. The way you draw him, so elegantly, so savagely and pointed and smooth and scaled...it's a very neat (in the neat sense of the word, not the neato sense) picture. His physical form very much seems to mirror who he is to me, which is, perhaps, an odd thing to say, but I think a testament to your skill as an artist. you don't draw a figure and add his features to it, but draw a character and add dimensions to it.
This is just a really well done picture in particular all around, anatomy, perspective, all those good things, but I just thought I'd stop in the drop a little love on your character

So what happens? Does the dragon eventually go free? Does anyone get eaten?
