The Rotten Apples, part 2/2
POV Vesuvius:
The dragon hovered high above the city, its streets empty and submerged in shadows.
'Not everyone betrayed me but they are a lot of bad apples hiding within my populace, corrupting and spoiling it.' His mind filled with determination as he felt all the heartbeats within all the houses and buildings throughout the city.
The fear was palpable in them.
'The bad apples need to be found and filtered out from the productive and loyal population to prevent their bad influence from spreading.'
Until now, he let the humans live by themself, but he now saw it wouldn't work, and his citizens needed more of his guidance, 'The children must be educated in loyalty to me and to the kingdom!'
