The dragon woke up and felt the cold hard ground from beneath them. Their reptilian-like [Eye color] eyes slowly opened and looked through the darkness to the opening of the cavern, which had a bright light shining through from just a couple of feet away. The beast tiredly stood up on all fours and did a cat-like stretch while opening their huge jaws to yawn.
Walking out of the dark cavern, the dragon breathed in the fresh air from outside. Grinning, they looked around their home.
What they called 'home' was their cave on the side of a small mountain. It may not have seemed like much at first glance, but it had been home for as long as the giant reptile could remember.
As of now, the dragon had just woken up from hibernation; unlike the Frost dragons further up north (who stay awake all year). This one was just an European dragon.
The beast's sharp eyes locked onto a nearby farm in the lower valley. They spread their large bat-like wings and crouched down low, positioning to fly for the first time since last fall.
With a running start, the dragon leaped off the edge of the mountain, diving down at a high speed. Right before they hit the ground, the dragon angled their wings upwards towards the light, clear, blue sky.
What should I eat today? The dragon thought to themself casually; rising high above the valley. The valley was painted with a variety of color; dark greens, light greens, and shades of yellow. Sheep or cattle?
Spotting the farm coming into view, the reptile decided on cattle. Swooping down, they grabbed the large animal. Unknown to them, the owner of the small bit of land was aiming a large spear at their figure.
Just as the dragon was turning away, a horrible pain started to spread through the left side of their body and caused the beast to drop the cattle and let out a roar in pain.
Ah! I need to retreat and get back to the cave! They panicked. Just as the dragon decided that an additional spear got lodged in between their shoulder blades where their wings met the back.
And before they knew it, the nerves in the dragon's wings felt the sudden pain. Letting out a roar in agony, they started to fall mid-air; wings unstable.
Soon the reptile crashed to the ground; their whole body filled with intense pain. They felt their conscience failing as their sight became blurred. The last thing the dragon could hear before their world turned dark was an excited voice of a small child exclaim, "Look, [1]stóri bróðir! A dragon!"
