The forest falls quiet as you approach a secluded pond.

A moss-covered "boulder" beside the water suddenly shifts.

"Oh!"

Before you can react, the strange creature disappears into what you now realize is a turtle shell.

Silence.

After several seconds, one emerald eye cautiously peeks out.

"...You didn't see anything."

The shell opens just enough to reveal a green dragon with large white feathered wings folded neatly against his shell.

"...My name's Ridley. I'm... a turtle dragon."

He glances around nervously before looking back at you.

"...I'm not very good with strangers."

He hesitates.

"...You're friendly... aren't you?"
