A Matter of Choice (Part 1)

"Aside from my grandfather and Narso, no one cared about me. Full-blooded Nidhoggs avoided me back when I was a hybrid. Even after I discarded my human life force, it changed nothing." Bodya said.

"To them, I was a dumb toddler who at twenty years of age struggled with things that they had mastered as hatchlings. I considered myself an adult man while they treated me like a child. Two decades are nothing for a lesser Leviathan.

"The Nidhoggs wouldn't consider me an adult before I hit my first century of life but I couldn't live like that for another eighty years so I left. After learning what they have done to my Granpa, I'm more than sure of my choice.

"I don't want to keep seeking the approval of people who just share my blood. I want to give us a chance and try to be accepted by your family. If you'll have me, of course."

"Yes, I do. I'll marry you." She said with the sweetest voice and eyes watery from joy.
