Darkness
It roars to get out
It can't
Its chained like a Dark Dragon on the chain of death
It struggles to get free
It roars to get loose
It roars in pain as the chain rubs it's neck raw
Blood slowly drips down to the ground
It's claws dig into the ground
Blood claw marks from the wound
It settles in defeat
Lays back down to rest
Lets it's neck heal
For another time
It will try again and again until it gets free.
