Far away from the deep forest, Donovan flew in the direction of a small mountain. His body had given up and he was on the verge of collapsing at any moment. The wounds on his body were bleeding, his wings were torn too from the icilies.
As Donovan reached the peak of the mountains he landed on the ground, more likely crashed on the ground. His back grazed because of the crash but he held Silja securely and gently in his claws. He slowly laid her on the ground and then tried to change in his normal form.
But before he could, he collapsed. His body has no energy left and not to forget the wounds on his body. Even though dragons are most smartest but when they are badly injured or sense fear around they only believe in their animal instincts.
And his instinct at the moment was telling him not to change in his human form. Because he was strongest when he was in his dragon form so his instinct will never allow him to turn.
