The dragon would hardly have anything to do with the animal gods overseeing the world. He would often disguise himself as a type of Dragonkin so he could go down and see for himself how his world really was.
One time, when Tatsu went to Neko’s land, he saw a human girl. She had long black hair, that flowed in the wind. She was short for a human, but Tatsu didn’t mind. When he finaly spoke to her he looked into her large brown eyes and asked her name. ‘Elizabeth’ was her reply. She didn’t seem to mind that he wasn’t human, in fact she believed he was a common demon like the rest.
Tatsu began to visit her as often as he could. He got to know her to the point he was able to call her his friend. He learned of her fears and ambitions. She even had dreams of becoming a world leader, which he found quite humorous. He never told her what he really was. He didn’t like to lie to her, but her knowing he thought would make her uncomfortable to be around him. She seemed happy knowing him the way he was, which in turn made him happy as well.
