Scales

The monster kept staring at me for a couple of seconds, before slowly getting up, showing more of itself.

It is a reptile with a green back scale.

I looked into its eyes and knew; it was considering me as its prey. It also seemed to know, that I am not weak, and thus, the faint hesitation in its eyes.

My heart started to beat wildly seeing it.

However, it is not the only thing that is running. My thoughts are running faster, trying to find how it could avoid my stealth dispute being so close to me.

I had kept my soul sense weak intentionally here, but still, it shouldn't have been able to come so close to me, without me discovering it.

'It may be those scales,' I thought as my gaze moved from its eyes to its scales.

There is a power imprinted into them.

The power, that shouldn't belong to it, but it is. The power from the wonder.
