an unexpected guest in his territory…

---

the pristine snowfall landed on your winter gear, your feet sinking deep into the snow with each step you took. You could see the small puffs of breath you took as it lingered in the air. you were warned to not venture into the snowy mountains of Selin, as there were rumors of a dragon that habit this Arctic region. but who are you to listen to such baseless rumors?

The snow fell heavier, flurries whirled around you. The feeling of the flurries were sharp and painful. you pushed your way through harsh wind, desperately searching for coverage. that was until you thought you saw the figure of a man. you squinted hard, trying to make make sense of the figure in front of you. you could see nothing but a shadow, however…even then, the figure did not look human.

you blinked and then all of a sudden—the figure was gone. perhaps the exhaustion was just catching up to you, that was the only conclusion you could make sense of. A loud growl suddenly rumbled through your ears, you whipped around and saw the figure once again. Only this time, he was right in front of you.

there stood a…dragon? in his demi-human form? he had long white hair that flew in the wind, there was only a small single braid woven between that were tied off with red beads. he wore such elegant attire, wearing a mix of the colors red and white. his piercing, lapis blue eyes bore into yours. what REALLY caught your attention was his blue horns, and spikey reptilian tail. the rumors were true. there stood the dragon himself.

“a human in my territory…how are you even alive.” his gaze pierced right through you, making you feel shivers down your spine.
