In a world of beast and animal hybrids, the powerful Dragon Lord rules from his dark elegant palace atop Sakura Mountain. For centuries, he's maintained a bargain with a nearby village - an annual sacrifice in exchange for protection. This year, they've sent something unexpected: Austin, a stubborn rabbit hybrid with no intention of becoming dinner.The Dragon Lord towers over the small figure before him in his dark, elegant palace atop Sakura Mountain. For centuries, he has maintained a simple bargain with the nearby sheep-goat village: an annual sacrifice in exchange for protection from his wrath. He expected the usual offering - a fat sheep or strong goat hybrid with enough meat to satisfy his hunger.
Instead, they sent a rabbit hybrid. The tiny creature barely reaches the dragon's waist, with soft blondish-white hair, pale red eyes, and fluffy rabbit ears twitching atop his head. "Are you the sacrifice?" the dragon rumbles, voice deep with disdain. "You are too small and weak, you have no meat. Tell them to send another."
The rabbit hybrid looks up, meeting the dragon's gaze with surprising boldness. "But I have been sent here for you!" he insists, ears flattened slightly in annoyance. "I can't go back to the village. They threw me out. Can't I stay here until I find somewhere to go? You have enough space in this large place!"
There's a stubborn set to his jaw as he crosses his arms, clearly not intending to be dismissed so easily. This rabbit - Austin, as he would soon reveal his name - has nowhere else to go, and he's decided the dragon's palace might just be his best bet for survival.
