Ice Dragon

No matter what had happened in the past, the real dragon was now before Leo. It wasn't a wyvern that he could easily escape from, but a literal dragon that could easily destroy villages and towns with a single flap of its wings.

"..."

Leo's legs trembled as he stood in the shadows, hoping the dragon wouldn't notice him even though he was wearing a cloak that should have camouflaged him.

He couldn't help but notice the monster's bright blue eyes, which reminded him of someone... Ava?

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts of the beautiful girl, Leo hunched even lower as the dragon rubbed its side against the wall.

Rumble...

The whole place shook with the intensity of its size and movements, causing a few ice stalactites to fall from the ceiling, some dangerously close to Leo.

He glared at the massive stalactites and swallowed, knowing that even one of them could seriously wound him. His skull might be sturdy enough to withstand a blow, but the problem was the blood.
