My name is Siegfried Dracohart. King, Commander, Dragon. History has known me as, Bastard Prince, Drake-Spawn, Ruler of the Raven, Firestorm, I have gone by many names, but the moniker I wear at most times is Dragon Commander.
I wasn't always these things. While my life wasn't all normal I grew up normal. Living in a simple cabin away from my depressed Father King and my hateful half-siblings. It was only me and my mother for a time. After my mother passed it was just me among the commoners and life was good. Until one day I was approached by the grand wizard Maxos. Apparently my half-siblings assassinated my father and went mad with power. They were fighting among themselves and split the kingdom apart in the process. Full out war, along with countless deaths was upon them. And Maxos wanted me to stop them.
I refused at first, not because I was scared, but because who would ever follow a bastard and one who had no real leadership skills or training? Sure I was okay with a sword and I could turn into a fire-breathing monster at will, but still. However, with the rest of my siblings having gone mad I was the only one to bring some semblance of order and peace to the land. I didn't care about the throne and becoming king but I did want to save everyone from such a horrid fate and if I could put an end to the madness, all the more reason to step up. The flying wonder known as the Raven may have also played a part in boosting my confidence.
After my first several battles all the races saw the good I was doing and quickly got behind me by sending representatives to support me. I had gained four generals and a cabinet of the six races with me being the representative of the humans. At least that's what Maxos said. Honestly I didn't understand why I represented the humans when I was part dragon and not even a politician. But I digress.
My generals were mainly comprised of humans and one lizard. Henry, a hardass former soldier of the empire, Scarlet the spunky high-spirited girl, Catherine the queen of all feminist, and Edmund the lizard with the biggest ego in the world. Honestly they all have their annoyances and quirks, but I can safely say I trust them and even see them as my friends. Even Catherine with her unbearable ultra-feminist views and Edmund's stuck-up-ness.
My councilors on the other hand are a different story. None are my friend and a single one of them is more annoying then Catherine and Edmund put together. And I spend half my days in a confined room with all five! But as the saying goes: keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Though they weren't really my enemies, they still only looked out for themselves. Yorick was my Undead Councilor, and like most of his people a religious zealot. Oberon was my Elven Councilor and probably the whiniest man in the world. Falstaff was my Dwarven Councilor and like the rest of his people a complete capitalist. Prospera was the best politician of her democratic government so of course the lizards sent her. And lastly there was Trinculo, the imp councilor who was as good a politician as he was crazy.
My stance with them can be summed up like this. Yorick I absolutely despised. We rarely agreed on anything when it came to politics. Not to mention the unbearable bag of bones was a complete hypocrite. Falstaff and Oberon were pretty much the same; the only difference was their political view, Oberon being an uber-libertine and Falstaff a capitalist. And finally out of all the councilors Prospera and Trinculo were the ones I got along the best with and agreed on most of their issues. Trinculo only cared about advancing science and technology so it was pretty easy to please him, though I knew when to draw the line when it came to the boundaries of science. Prospera, while I had great respect for her, was the one I was most weary of. Despite us agreeing on more occasions then not, she was a better politician then all the others. Which is what made her more dangerous then all of them. She knew how to use her words and make it seem like it was the better choice, but in the end she was only looking out for her people and government. Many times I nearly fell into her traps. So whenever I talk with her I watch my words and I watch hers.
You would think with so many arrogant, stubborn and crazy people I'd lose my mind. But one thing or I should say one person always manages to lift my spirits. The one person to be there for me every time I come back from battle or a meeting with my advisors and generals. The one special lady that I was forced to marry, but grew to appreciate, my wonderful wife and queen . . .
So this is a little something I've been wanting to do. I'll be going over all four princesses, from the beginning of their relationship to the end. I'm looking forward to this and I hope you all do too. Just so you know, other then the name and his (my) feelings towards certain characters, the Dragon Commander is going to be completely ambiguous. No physical description whatsoever, this is about the princesses. Also his personality may change a little depending on the princess chosen.
