Drake Leone sipped his cup of fine dwarven whiskey. Tonight, had proven to be both profitable and amusing. His spy was worth the coin he spent after all. It was a bit unfair that Robin and his decrepit wizard had once again escaped his fiendish clutches. Leone would destroy them soon enough.
The Galdafax gems would fetch a mighty price on the black market. It would elevate the mob boss’s personal horde far above his rival dragons. The recent rumors of a rogue assassin on his turf were disquieting. He reasoned there must be a use for him as well. Deception was on his side now.
Leone stood before a large ornate mirror. The reflection of the mob boss grinned with pompous back. Dragons were creatures of great vanity and Drake Leone’s human form was proof. The tall human figure had a striking face, long raven colored hair framed it. For all appearances Drake Leone appeared nothing more than a human male. His eyes told a different story.
Unlike normal eyes. Drake Leone’s were reptilian in nature, thier golden color shimmered with wicked delight. The mob boss dug his bare feet deeper into the golden horde that lined the floor of his secret hall. No one entered his secret sanctuary. Part of the dragon’s horde resided here, and he would not have anyone’s greedy eyes, filthy feet or hungry hands upon it.
Above him he could hear laughter and the results of drunkenness. Goblins and Ogres made a mess of everything they touched. All they thought of was mayhem and strong brew mixed with a bit of killing. Leone had not devoured any of his henchmen as of late for disobedience. He was not looking forward to eating another goblin or ogre. The creatures tasted as bad as they smelled.
But he would not have his establishment torn apart. The Crooked Moon did make him a nice purse, and he often recovered back the money he paid his minions. The Mob Boss retrieved his long cloak and black tinted spectacles. Black dragon scale shoes covered his bare feet. He then strode to the large ornate mirror and walked right into it.
