Dragon Father!
Lucia felt a creeping sense of dread that tonight, nightmares would invade her sleep.
"The evil dragon is so heartless that he would use Marly as a mere decoy, and care little even for the safety of her, a fake baby dragon."
The thought of using her faux baby dragon as bait gnawed at her. What if it were to be devoured by some monstrous creature from the deep? Legends spoke of colossal sea beasts, some towering even larger than the mightiest of dragons. Among these leviathans were those equipped with sprawling tentacles capable of hunting and consuming giant dragons.
There were also serpentine monsters in the legends, vast enough to coil around and crush entire islands with their formidable strength.
The deep sea harbored myriad bizarre and fearsome creatures. If the sinister evil dragon Lance were to encounter such a monstrous sea beast, even his formidable powers might falter against its might. For humans, the deep sea remained a forbidden realm.
