A dark green dragon clawed her way out of her lair, her scales rippling as restless hunger attacked her gut. Emerald-crown spread her wings, leaping into the air and flying up with a loud "WHOOSH."
Emerald-crown continued flapping her wings violently before finding a breeze on which she glided. Her dark amber eyes were searching for a doe grazing among the forested landscape. She made a rumbling noise, like a cat would make if it was purring, when the brown and white pattern of a young female deer drinking from a sapphire colored lake appeared in her vision. Emerald-crown dove down sharply, tackling the doe by the side of the lake. The impact of her attack knocked the doe unconscious, which Emerald-crown smirked at as she took a swift bite to the deer's windpipe. This damage soon killed the doe, already battered from the dive.
Emerald-crown ate the deer hungrily before turning to the lake beside her. The dragoness made a small hissing noise at seeing dark crimson blood trailing down her fern-colored jaws. She bent down, preparing to clean it off when she heard a loud footstep behind her.
