Frozen Heart

The moment we wanted to escape, an enormous door blocked our path. I didn't even know when the gigantic hall had doors, but it seemed that a big barrier made of white stone was just above the entrance.

"Stop! Who are you? How did you enter this place?"

A big black panther was pacing around an altar just right in the middle of the hall. You will think how the Great Predator and a ferocious dragon child could be scared of a little fluffy panther? We weren't. But the damn cat had to transform into his human form at that exact moment.

He was a very well-fitted man with muscles everywhere, yes, I saw all of them, he was entirely exposed to my eyes. How shameless of him, luckily my Irina couldn't see, and I had a Duke covering my eyes, seconds late, though. He shouldn't be jealous, I had seen him many times before, and I am very satisfied with his masterpiece body, I can even draw him and sell the pictures. Sigh, what a lucky guy to have me with him.
