The Dragon's Heart's Desolation: The Little Victim's Unseen Despair

In the shadow of the ancient mountains, where the air is thick with the scent of pine and the whispers of ancient legends, lived Xiao, a young human boy with a heart as pure as the mountain streams that cradled his village. His life was simple, filled with the mundane tasks of tending to the fields and the company of his few friends. But Xiao's world was about to be shattered by a force far more powerful than any sword or spell.

One fateful night, a dragon prince named Liang descended upon the village, his scales shimmering like emeralds in the moonlight. Liang was cursed; his heart was devoid of emotion, a result of a dark enchantment cast upon him by a jealous sorcerer. The villagers were terrified, for the dragon's presence was a sign of impending doom. Yet, in the midst of the chaos, Xiao found himself inexplicably drawn to the cursed prince.

Liang's eyes, hollow and devoid of life, seemed to pierce through Xiao's soul. There was a connection, an unspoken bond that neither could deny. As days turned into weeks, Xiao's visits to the dragon's lair grew more frequent, and the two formed an unlikely friendship. Xiao, with his gentle spirit and unwavering kindness, became the only one who could reach Liang's heartless core.

One evening, as Xiao sat by Liang's side, the prince whispered in a voice that was both haunting and beautiful, "Xiao, you are the only thing that has ever given me hope. If only I could feel your love, I might be able to break the curse."

Xiao's heart swelled with love and a sense of duty. He knew the risks, but he was determined to help Liang. "I will help you, Liang," he vowed. "I will give you my heart, and together, we will break this curse."

As Xiao and Liang's bond deepened, they found solace in each other's presence. But their love was forbidden, for dragons and humans were not meant to mingle. The villagers, sensing the danger that Liang posed, began to turn against Xiao. They saw him as a traitor, a human who had forsaken his own kind for a cursed beast.

One night, as Xiao lay beside Liang, the prince's voice grew faint. "Xiao, I am so tired of this life. I wish I could feel just one moment of happiness, just one moment of love."

Xiao's eyes filled with tears. "I will never leave you, Liang. I will find a way to break this curse."

But the sorcerer who had cursed Liang was not so easily deterred. He sought to destroy Xiao and Liang's love, to ensure that the curse would never be broken. In a fit of rage, the sorcerer unleashed his dark magic upon the village, turning the land into a desolate wasteland.

Xiao, driven by love and a desperate hope, ventured into the sorcerer's lair to confront the evil that threatened his beloved. With courage and determination, Xiao fought the sorcerer, his heart pounding with the weight of his love for Liang.

In the climactic battle, Xiao was gravely injured, but his love for Liang was unyielding. "Liang, I have to do this for you," he whispered, his voice weak but filled with resolve.

As Xiao defeated the sorcerer, the dragon prince's eyes sparkled with newfound life. "Xiao, you have saved me. I can feel your love now. I am free."

But Xiao's victory was bittersweet. The magic that had freed Liang's heart had also drained Xiao's life force. In his final moments, Xiao held Liang close, their hearts beating in unison.

"I love you, Xiao," Liang whispered, his voice filled with sorrow.

Xiao, with a smile that was both serene and tragic, replied, "I love you too, Liang. I will always love you."

And with those words, Xiao's lifeless body lay beside the dragon prince, his heart now forever entwined with Liang's.

In the aftermath of Xiao's sacrifice, the villagers realized the true nature of the curse. They mourned the loss of Xiao, the boy who had given his life for love. And Liang, now free from his curse, soared into the sky, his heart full of gratitude for the human boy who had given him life.
