Summary: : “They were tied together by the red string of Destiny.”

They seemed to be tied together since the beginning of time. The noble Knight and the fiery Dragon, brave and honourable.

They changed history the first they had fought, for there was never a legend where the Knight had spared the Dragon, or one in which it was the Dragon who sought the Knight. There was never a legend where the Knight and the Dragon fell in love.

They were tied together by the red string of destiny, their lives bound to each other’s since the first was born. It was the Knight who gave the Dragon’s home a chance to retaliate, to win, but it had cost the scholar his dear child-bride.

They were both scholars turned to warriors in a devastating war, one in which nothing was sacred, nothing was left unharmed. They were never meant to be soldiers, never meant to be soldiers, but, for the honour of their families, changed their hearts,

The Dragon was seeking his own answers and his revenge. The Knight was seeking the answer to peace in vain.

They met as enemies, warriors across a bloodied battlefield. The red string of destiny, coloured with blood, could not be denied. The Dragon, though fled after his defeat, once again sought his Knight. He knew it was wrong, but the pull was too strong to resist.

They were puppets, controlled by incomprehensible emotions and forbidden desires and a love that disguised itself as hate. The cruel Mistress fate pulled the strings, giving them a precious gift that had to be thrown away as the war-that-should-not-be tore them apart and swept them away.

The red string of fate, a cruel Mistress with a silk-covered iron fist, tied them together. She gave them a gift of love, a forbidden, denied, abandoned love.

To the dark-haired Dragon and his blue-eyed Knight, however, it was a curse.
