Dear father

After centuries of you insisting I produced an heir to our bloodline, I have finally succeeded. Granted I am still deeply unimpressed with your constant attempts of providing me a mate suitable of my status, to where I had to settle for my recently of age cousin to get you off my back. But at last, after being with this woman, you finally won father. For you see, Mira is with child.

I still detest that since the time I became of age at 100 you hounded me with suitors. I still find pleasure in your face every time when I presented you the parted heads of those women. It did amused me that over the centuries you had went so low as offering me women of different breeds. So much so you even offered men in your many attempts in giving me a mate.

So rejoice father with learning your youngest, amongst your 20 offsprings, is soon to be a father as well. It might have taken centuries for the second of your pure blooded children to gift you a new member to the Red Dragon Empire. I even appointed the most powerful ruler, second to our empire, as my unborn whelp’s Godfather.

You should be grateful for my kindness to finally continue our family’s name. Even though you old metumetam might never meet my whelp if it was up to me. But as custom dictate, I will sent out my phoenix with the scale of my child once they are born so you can add their scale to the well of power. Afterall, tradition is what keeps us strong.

But I do not write this letter to boost about the pending addition to our Empire. It is more of a hopeful last farewell. I know you are not long for this world, being that you are almost 13000 years old, dear father. And that the eldest amongst us, Romenos, is soon to take the throne. Which I hope deeply that his eldest daughter will be the one to take the throne right after, since Romenos is also ancient by human standards of 900 years old.

And if the splitting moons are anything to go by, then either I will be the one to greet you in hell. Or be the one to take you there.

Your precious infant son,

Victor Pantel-De Dragon.
