I skidded to a halt a few meters from the cliff, my eyes focused on the giant dragon that descended from the skies and slowly made its way towards me. It reminded me of a giant crocodile- with wings. Its foul odor of burnt flesh and fire engulfed me as it stare into my eyes with its big round green eyes. I looked at it and saw numerous swords embedded in its tough scaly skin, the swords from the knights that perished under its presence.

The voice inside my head had abandoned me but its qualities had not. The beast growled and snapped its jaws at me, whatever it tried to say, it probably wasn't something I wanted to hear.
