Everyone knows Theseus as a very public war hero, but his little brother was more prominent to the success of the war.
He never wanted to be famous for his part in it. He was a master of dragons and dragons are well known for being untamable. But they only listened to him.
He begged his CO’s to never release his name in any paperwork or conversation for fear that he or someone he cared for would be captured and used him for his skills. And became tasked with removing captured and chained dragons from the enemy. Adding to his nest.
They agreed and gave him the code name “Serpentine."
Graves never knew the real name for the man that released him and his troops from a prison camp. Dressed in shiny green leather and armor. Covered head to toe. He only heard his voice and saw his jade eyes surrounded by kohl. He saw the respect the wild creatures under Serpentine’s care gave this man. They treated him like one of their own.
Graves watched how he interacted with his beasts. How could someone so small and apparently young, have the much sway over dragons.
The dragons wouldn’t really allow anyone to approach the man. Snapping at any. Graves tries, and approaches slowly with food and drink for the man that saved them. The dragons just growl. Serpentine calms them and allows Graves to approach. And Percival talks. Serpentine doesn’t. He just listens.
War time is over and Graves has continued on with his life.
So why does this young man from Britain remind him of someone he’s never truly met.
+Bonus if Graves figure it out by putting kohl around Newt eyes and covering the rest of Newts face.
PROMPT: Legend Gramander
