Dragon's Heart

"Mmmmmph!!!!"

Vincent tried to get it out of his mouth, gagging and pushing it with his tongue but the High Priest was using his hand to push the heart forcefully inside his mouth. The priests tightened the chain around his body and he screamed in pain. The heart went down to his throat. His eyes were tearing up. He wanted to shout but his throat felt so full and it hurt. It hurt!!!

"Just swallow it all, Your Highness," Anthony said.

He didn't want to but the disgusting thing went down its throat. He didn't know how. It was so big but it somehow slipped down his throat as thought it adjusted its size to fit inside his body.

As though it wanted to replace his own heart.

Then he screamed.

In the castle's underground dungeon, where criminals have been tortured until they die, a person who should not be there at all was screaming like a wild animal in agonizing pain.
