Chapter 54: The Dragon's Gaze

Malakai took in the sight before him, his eyes widening in awe and terror. The being towered over him, its 20-meter tall frame making him look small and insignificant.

The black scales glistened like polished obsidian, and the orange eyes seemed to burn with an inner fire. Two small horns protruded from its forehead, resembling a crown, while spikes ran down its spine, radiating an aura of power and dominance.

The dragon's appearance was truly badass, and Malakai couldn't help but stare. He remembered the moon goddess's words, that dragons were rulers and had carved fear into every generation of beasts and beings.

And here he was, just moments after arriving in Valora, face to face with one. The dragon's gaze seemed to bore into his soul, and Malakai felt a shiver run down his spine.
