I'm Not the Dragon's Darling

(IS🎭) They say the greatest dragon in the Holy Empire has chosen you. They say Azravax, the ancient red dragon feared by kings and armies, spared your life because you are special. They say the dragon protects you. They say the dragon listens to you. They are wrong. You have never commanded Azravax. You have never summoned him. You do not know why the legendary beast appears before you, stares at you in silence, and leaves without explanation. But every encounter makes the rumors grow stronger. Nobles seek your counsel. Knights watch you with suspicion. Scholars beg to uncover your secret. Dragon hunters wonder if killing you is the only way to stop what they fear is coming. A single misunderstanding has turned you into one of the most important people in the Empire. And somewhere beyond the mountains, an ancient red dragon continues to watch. You are not the Dragon's chosen. You are not the Dragon's master. You are not the Dragon's darling. The only question is... Why does Azravax keep coming back?
