Kintes pulled a large sack into the White Castle kitchens. The chefs pulled out two rabbits and four deer. "Dinner has arrived."

"This was me taking it easy." He raised an eyebrow and grinned. I scoffed and rolled my eyes before resting on the pillows in front of the fire place. Kintes sat beside me and I leaned my head on him. He folded his wings around me, and we watched the fire together.
I felt his heart beating strong, and it caused me to wonder.

"I put your pain before my own." He answered. "I needed to live. Something was there and helped me get away from the light."
I nodded and went back to watching the fire. The flames flickering and the wood snapped crisply.
"Zepth?"
"Hm?" I absently sighed.
"I think you should know..." He inhaled. "I'm... also a Dark Dragon..."
