“I don’t think we were introduced properly earlier,� he crooned to Nesta. “I’m—� “I don’t care,� Nesta said with a snap of her wrist, striding right past him and up to my side. “I’d like a word,� she said. “Now.�
“It is a condition of monsters that they do not perceive themselves as such. The dragon, you know, hunkered in the village devouring maidens, heard the townsfolk cry 'Monster!' and looked behind him.”

“Of course there has to be an end,â€� she said. ‘Of course. For that is what everyone has faced since the world began. And that is â€� what do you call it? â€� intolerable. It’s intolerable! So you must not think of it. You must not face it. Because it is a â€� certainty it has to be forgotten. One cannot â€� must not â€� fear a certainty.”

“Listen my hatchling, for now you shall hear
Of the only seven slayers a dragon must fear.
First beware Pride, lest belief in one’s might
Has you discount the foeman who is braving your sight.
Never Envy other dragons their wealth, power, or home
For dark plots and plans will bring death to your own.
Your Wrath shouldn’t win, when spears strike your scale
Anger kills cunning, which you will need to prevail.
A dragon must rest, but Sloth you should dread
Else long years of napping let assassins to your bed.
‘Greed is good,� or so foolish dragons will say
Until piles of treasure bring killing thieves where they lay.
Hungry is your body, and at times you must feed
But Gluttony makes fat dragons, who can’t fly at their need.
A hot Lust for glory, gems, gold, or mates
Leads reckless young drakes to the blackest of fates.
So take heed of this wisdom, precious hatchling of mine,
And the long years of dragonhood are sure to be thine.”
