Princess And Dragon Meet Again 1

The dragon's gaze locked onto her, and for a moment, neither moved. Elera felt a surge of magic in the air, a tangible force that made the hairs on her arms stand on end. She swallowed hard, trying to gather her courage. Despite the fear coursing through her veins, she knew she needed to stay calm and think clearly.

Suddenly a deep, regal voice sounded inside Elera's head. "Hmm… Now I finally understand why it took me such an effort to find you. Hiding behind a waterfall to not only obscure the cave itself but also your scent. You are more clever than I thought." 

'This dragon can speak telepathically?! Wait, are you inside my head?!' She cried inwardly.

"I've undergone quite a transformation since we last met, so I imagine you don't recognize me. I was the one who saved you from the orc scouts a month ago."

Her eyes widened in realization. 'Really? In a single month you changed this much?'
