The Dreki

The growl of the creature shattered the stillness of the night, sending a jolt through Kaleb’s body. The air around him seemed to pulse with raw, dangerous energy. His eyes snapped toward the source of the sound, where a massive shape emerged from the shadows, its silhouette barely visible in the darkened forest.

Kaleb’s hand instinctively went to Denkoujin, the familiar weight of the blade grounding him as his body tensed, ready for a fight. Beside him, Ronan had already drawn his daggers, crouching low and scanning the area with sharp eyes.

The creature stepped into the clearing, its scales glistening with an eerie glow. It was a monstrous lizard-like beast, taller than a man, its body covered in armor-like dragon scales that shimmered in the faint light. Its eyes burned a fierce red, glowing with an unnatural light, and its teeth were sharp, glistening like daggers in the moonlight.
