Dragon Story

Woken Up

The dragon woke up.

A shrill scream filled the caves, startling Crescent and hurting her ears. It displayed talons, teeth, and bony limbs.

Entirely caught off guard, Crescent could see that the thing was startled, or angry, but whatever it's reason it was ready to attack.

As she stood in her tracks, the dragon looked away from her and leapt onto the floor, crawling with clicking sounds from it's claws across the floor.

It ran up the wall, and Crescent dashed away, close to the smooth rock, as the creature quickly darted around to the entrance Crescent had come from.

The last thing she saw before escaping down further was the creature splayed out across the cave entrance, blocking it with it's body, and hissing like a snake.
