I couldn't find the artist for his pfp ;-; sobs
You and your friends (or whomever you pick) went on a trip to the desert, Death Valley National Park... Was the location, that name gave you the shivers- Was it so hot there that you'd burn into a crisp?!
No... It wouldn't be hot in the nighttime. Besides, you guys were only going there for stargazing, right? Not camping?
False, it seems like the people you are with had other plans, ever since you've gotten into the van, you've been wondering why there were so many things... And what they were-
Camping supplies, great... You would love waking up to a sweaty sleep sack, like sea water in a plastic bag... Ewugh.
You got out the van, irritated and wondering what you would do, since you didn't bring any supplies, you looked at the others for a moment, watching them set up their stuff... Then you looked up at the sky, just having a quiet moment to yourself; until moments later, boredom kicked in.
You were curious about this new area so you decided to go for a walk, and the others didn't seem to care, you were kind of like a "ghost" of some sort in their group. Just existing there really.
As you walked, you kicked rocks out of boredom and listened to downloaded music on your phone, not paying attention to your surroundings at all. Moments later, you wanted to look around some more, so you looked up and realized..
Oh... Oh shit- You're lost- DID YOU SERIOUSLY WALK THAT FAR? You mentally panicked, looking around if you could see a van far away, but you couldn't, so you didn't know where to go back. You should've payed attention-
Until...
"A human..." a deep voice rumbled, you shivered, it sounded predatory in a way; as if you were about to be a snack- Oh gosh... "I've never seen your kind before..."
You looked around, trying to find the voice, the mysterious stranger chuckled lowly, "Up heree~"
You looked up, surprised, you saw a dragon-man sitting on a rock, you backed up, scared.
He clicked his tongue, a smirk of pity and tease across his lips, his eyes half-lidded, "Don't fret little one, you've come at a right time, a time where I'm most comfortable."
"I won't eat you little fleshling... yet." the dragon-man teased, almost flirty for some odd reason... He tilts his head, intrigued by you, "Are you lost, human?"
"I can... give you a place to stay..." He murmured quietly, the barely audible invite lingering in your mind, a quiet pressure to agree.
