Ryoka Griffin
|
Ryoka stumbled into the cave, bleeding. Dying. Every step was agony. She felt her sliced flesh and fragments of rock embedded in her skin cutting away at her sanity. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Pain. She didn’t know why she was still moving. But as Ryoka stumbled forwards, the rough stone turned to marble. The room filled with treasures made of gold and magic. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Ryoka felt her heart beating faintly in her chest. She heard rushing wind, but then the cavern wall opened up and her heart did stop. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
The massive dragon was sleeping in an open space in the center of the cavern. Ryoka stopped. She stared. His scales shone as the light touched them, so brilliant that her heart ached. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Her eyes filled with tears. Ryoka sank to her knees as her blood covered the marble floor. She didn’t care. It was worth it. This was worth it. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
His head moved. The dragon opened both eyes and stared down at Ryoka. She gazed into two massive pupils, mismatched colors of heliotrope and cerulean. Celestial lights shimmered within the moving pupils. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
For a moment, Ryoka understood magic. She gazed into the center of it; the reason why it could exist. A fragment of the truth. A piece of forever. A dragon’s eye. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Her eyes rolled back up in her head. Ryoka fell forwards and her nose broke as she toppled onto the floor. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Ryoka opened her eyes. She sat up at once and felt no pain. She was healed? Healed! How? |
Ryoka Griffin
|
It was a miracle. But then Ryoka noticed the old man standing in front of her. Long white robes covered a body only lightly touched by age. His mismatched eyes gazed down at her as he gestured at her. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Ryoka stood up. She couldn’t help it. She gaped at the old man who had pointed ears and flawless features. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Ryoka blinked. She stared open-mouthed at the old man. He frowned at her. |
Teriarch
|
The human girl made no reply. Teriarch looked around, frowning. |
Teriarch
|
Teriarch’s illusory human form was perfect. He looked exactly like a normal human, albeit one made in flawless perfection and with slightly elven features. But he had forgotten one important aspect. |
Ryoka Griffin
|
Ryoka stared at the shadow of the dragon looming huge on the wall behind Teriarch. It stretched out from his robes, lengthening impossibly until it perfectly reflected the dragon, not the illusion. |

Teriarch sighed. He pointed at Ryoka, and she felt her head go blank. |

Teriarch stared hard at Ryoka as she stood, immobilized by the magic on her. He frowned, tapped at a lip. |

Ryoka blinked at him. Since he was asleep? |
Teriarch
|
Teriarch blinked at Ryoka a few times, and then waved his hand in front of her face. |
