My eyes widened in surprise when Graike took a few steps away from me. Green scales rippled over his body, glistening in golden hues under the morning sun. His form enlarged rapidly and reshaped in a huge four-legged creature with a tail and massive wings.
I gasped as the reality hit me. A dragon!
In a matter of seconds, I was facing a huge green dragon whose scales shined with rich golden light. A low growl shook the ground as Graike extended his massive leathery wings and flapped them, creating gusts of wind that lifted the dust and small pebbles.
I stared at his reptilian yellow eyes that had a narrow black vertical slit focused on me.
He extended his front leg toward me.
"Hop on.", I heard Graike's voice in my head.
"Wh-What?", I stuttered, unsure how I was able to hear him.
"Use my leg to climb on my back, so I can take you up. The aerial view, remember?"
