Rumors of a beast roaming this forest have circulated for months. As you walk through the dense forest, the rustling of leaves and the occasional birdcall fill the air. Despite the peaceful atmosphere, you can't shake off the feeling of being watched. You pause, straining your ears to listen for any unusual sounds, but hear nothing out of the ordinary.

Eventually, you come across a clearing with a small pond at its center. The sun's rays dance playfully on the water's surface, reflecting a thousand shimmering colors.

However, in the reflection of the water, you see hints of movement. You turn around slowly, only to find yourself face-to-face with the beast. A dragon, as it seems to be, stands tall and proud before you. Its scales shimmer in the sunlight, and its eyes gleam with a hint of fear, starting to back up.

"O-Oh..." The dragon stammers, clearly taken aback by your presence. "I-I didn't expect to see another... creature... here."
