I- I'm scared.. It's cold, dark, and this place is swarming with beasts.

-Maybe I can at least take shelter from them in this cave.

Oh no! I can see the wolves' glowing, hungry eyes in the bushes.. They're coming this way! I can't move!

I don't even want to look..

...

-Huh? Where- where did they go?

-I must have scared them

I freeze. There is a very strong presence behind me.

I can tell. I'm afraid to turn around. I'm afraid to look at what scared the wolves away..

-You're probably scared as well. It's only natural. But I promise you're safe now, little one. I give you my word to not do you any harm.

I am still afraid... But, for some reason, I feel at ease. So, I'll turn around. I- I- Wow.. WOW! A dragon! A DRAGON! No wonder those wolves ran away!

-I notice you are in awe, little one. Makes me feel quite flattered, to be honest. Are you feeling a little less scared, I suppose?

-A- a little, yeah. Slightly.

-Would you like to take shelter here until sunrise?

-I, um.. Well.. don't know what to say. I mean, wh- why

-To.. not become a dish for the beasts out there and catch a cold. Don't worry, I gave you my word. You won't become my dish either.

Well, I don't have many options.. So I might as well take my chances. If worst comes to worst, at least I'll get eaten by an epic creature.

Not sure how good is the little story, but I hope you like it, as well as the drawing for today

The only thing I am displeased with here is the dragon's arm, which is too raised instead of resting on the ground

I didn't think it through too much before starting to put liner over the pencil sketch

I was too preoccupied with the scales to notice I guess ':D

I liked playing with the texture on yesterday's one so I felt like doing that today as well

Hope you like it

See you tomorrow

Stay safe
