He hates the Prince. He hates the Prince with a passion formerly reserved for only the Witch. He hates them because they think he is a worthless animal, when they are the killers, the demons, the animals.

He hates them because he thinks that they may be right.

Once upon a time there was a Dragon (that used to be a Knight) that fell in love with a Princess. But the Princess already had a Prince. One day the Prince came to the Dragon and said, 'You are only an animal, but I will allow you to protect her.' And the Prince smiled and the Dragon realized that the Prince was a Demon.

Princesses always get happy endings.

What do Demons and Dragons get?

He loves Her. She is all that is good and pure and gentle. He wants Her to stay that way, his Princess. But sometimes he wants to defile Her, bring Her down to his level. He wants to protect Her so much, but he cannot if he lets Her near, near enough to touch, to taste.

She is a Princess, and the Princess always lives happily ever after with the Prince (even if the Prince is a Demon)

He is the Dragon, he is the Knight, and he will do his duty.
