The wolf's den (part 1)

Ravina kept her eyes shut the whole time hoping for the flight to end soon. It ended with her crash landing. The beast decided to let go of her when she was still high off the ground to land safely and she fell rolling on the grovel. She scratched her hands and arms.

Oh well. The torture began she thought as she got up to her feet. Clearly, this dragon didn't know she reveled in physical pain. She dusted herself off as he took a turn and landed while shifting back to his human form. Seeing him shift back wearing a pair of trousers made her swiftly think of dragons being magical creatures but she couldn't ponder further when his dark eyes settled on her.

"My apologies," he said stepping closer. "I forgot you were human for a moment and can't land gracefully."

She ignored him, suddenly thinking back of Ares. Oh, God! Was he dead? What would her uncle do to him? He had risked his life to help her with her mission and now she freed this beast and sacrificed him.
