You said you were a dragon, but it was just a disguise because your face was reveled, and you are a tadpole. You had your chance for redemption like the great rebirth of the phoenix. You had your chance to evolve from a tad to a snake to a dragon again. You had your chance to fight back like a tiger but all you did was hide in your shell, but you are no turtle either since it is just a husk. Be careful not to end up as the frog in a well.
