    /u/jacktherambler turns a tale of presumed sacrifice into one of unexpected life in a marvelous fantasy setting.

    The story: You are a dragon. After moving to your new forest, the local village decides to sacrifice two children to you to ensure you won't attack them. You decide to raise them--and they say you're much nicer than the village.
