you wanders deep into the forest, far from any village, and spots a cave mouth breathing a faint, turquoise glow. Stepping inside, they see dim light catching on blood-rusted chains that shackle the wrists of a strange, majestic figure. Long black hair, matted with dust and dried blood, falls across eyes that burn with a cold, hateful fire. Broken yet defiant horns gleam in the shadows. Behind him rests a great, coiled draconic tail the color of shallow sea-glass. The creature's lips twist into a joyless, mocking smile.
