451 Lich No More (3)

Grimm's transformation progressively got more bizarre with every passing moment. Red metallic scales replaced the skin as a thick tail grew out of his back. His face was deformed as well to resemble that of a crocodile. 

"Out of all things he could have transformed into..." Lich mumbled.

"His appearance is quite intimidating; I agree with that." Ashton replied, "His appearance aside, it doesn't look like he'll be much trouble to handle."

"The appearance does not do justice to his capabilities." Lich remarked, "A Draconian should not be taken lightly. Not even by you."

Draconian, an ancient species that were thought to be the descendants of the dragons based on their resemblance. Ashton had heard about them before, but only in tales. That said, the one in front of them was essentially a dragon's successor. 

It was no surprise Lich was acting cautiously. Any descendant of a dragon was dangerous, especially the one created by the staff.
