“A dragon,' Nico thought with no little amount of amazement, still, even after all of this. You’d never be able to tell, looking at him.
He remembered when the church picked up his father’s anti-dragon campaign. The priest, clad in pristine white, declaring them evil; abnormal; Satan’s spawn.
Was it evil, when Verrio gave up a golden goblet just to bury the scale of a dragon long dead? Was it evil when he smiled coyly at the innkeepers, distracting them so they’d look away from Nico? Was it evil, when he refused to give up Nico’s location, bound and drugged and with nothing to lose?
'They’re different from us. You can tell just by looking at them. They’ve got the devil in their eye.'
There was nothing in Verrio’s eyes but anger, which his own family had put there. No devil, as far as Nico could see.”
