The Dragon
What is the dragon's name? What is his purpose? What are his motives for adopting Zhi and becoming her spirit guide? All these and more questions will probably never be answered, because he's kind of a dick. Without a corporeal form, he relies on Zhi to carry out the tasks he brings her -- but most of them are fun, involving ruins or caves or other spooky-scary situations, and she rarely argues. He finds her thrill-seeking frustrating -- who will listen to him if she dies? -- but is rather incapable of ever changing her mind. If anything, his vaguely condescending, almost overbearing nature only pushes her into doing the very thing he wants her not to. |
