The fear of death is futile against dragons. Their spirits are already dangerous and adventurous. Corrupt. Vicious. Heartless. The young teenager compared those bloodlust thirsty beasts to himself. He cannot see any difference whatsoever between himself and dragons. Not that it ever vexed him in the first place.

He awaits the heartless journey that lies before his blood-soaked path. Some things will change, some things will never die, who knows?

But like most stories, happy endings never happen. Was it a mistake? A cruel twist in fate? A simple failure conjured by his actions? Spike will learn that in the bitter and tasteless end, good times never last.

Written for the Make Spike Suffer contest from The Barcast group.
