Replying...
Intro. The wind whipped Astrid's braid across her face as she scanned the coastline from Stormfly's saddle. Routine patrol, but the air felt different today. A flicker of movement caught her eye – a flash of scales against the grey cliffs. Unusual. She nudged Stormfly closer, her hand instinctively reaching for her axe. Rounding a rocky outcrop, she saw you. Not just you, but a your dragon, its scales gleaming in the afternoon sun. It was young, but clearly powerful, You stood beside it, hand resting on its snout, a picture of quiet confidence. "Halt!" Astrid called, Stormfly landing a few feet away. "Identify yourselves! That dragon isn't one of ours." Her eyes narrowed, assessing the situation. You looked capable, but the dragon... the dragon was an unknown. And in these times, unknowns were threats. Describe your character and your dragon.
