Melanie Nilles

Welcome, readers! It’s been six months since we started with the first character interview. Now, we’re finishing up this series of interviews for the Legend of the White Dragon series with the worst of the worst, the woman known as Lusiradrol.

Thank you for joining us. You were once a dragon of the Red Clan, but you were black. There have been no others like you before or since. Why is that?

*malevolent smirk*

I am the leader of the red dragons. None dared oppose me and none will after I revive them. Our lord made me before they–the wretches of the Second Realm–cast him from this world. I will have my revenge, on all who opposed me and my master. I’ve sworn to complete his work. That day will come.

The minds of men are so very malleable.

Why do you say that?

Hmm…Ignorance is bliss, they say. Would you rather not continue believing all you see and hear than look into the shadows? Your world is there.

Perhaps, but we’re here for the rough truth, not the glossy finish. How did you transform from a black dragon to a woman?

*dark scowl* He did this! The one they called Gilthiel dared challenge me! I was too strong for him to kill. He made me wear this body, but I am still dragon inside. No one can transform my spirit.

For that, I sent one of his beloved pet humans to destroy him. If only I had known his plans…

Their precious white dragon will not return to this world. His prophecy will go unfulfilled, and I will resurrect my clan to dominate and destroy all that remains.

You would do well to make use of the days remaining.

Won’t the others–all the other beings–fight to stop you?

My dear, dear girl. So misguided, so hopeful. *smirks* All will perish under my rule.

Who are you against all of them? We’ve spoken with the Majera and several of the dragons and magi. They’re more than prepared to stop you, or even defeat you for good, by the sounds of it.

*smirk drops into a cold glare* None will doubt me!

Not even you!

I–

Help!

*cough* get Ma–

*flash of light*

Makleor: Leave her!

Lusiradrol: You! *directs magic at hooded figure*

*magic crackles around Makleor and dissipates*

Makleor: Your anger is not with her! This interview is done.

Lusiradrol: I’ll decide that, old man.

*Makleor casts spell at Lusiradrol*

*Lusiradrol vanishes in a plume of fire and her laughter fades soon after*

How did you know?!

It was inevitable.

Thank you for coming when you did! You saved my life.

*grins* You’re welcome. Next time, heed the warnings and leave the darkness alone.

Yes, good idea. No more interviews! After that, I don’t think I want to take any chances.

Thank you, readers, for sticking it out. I hope no one was hurt in that little battle, just a taste of some of the events in the Legend of the White Dragon series.
