[x254] Burned To Ashes By Ancient Phoenixes!
Kayra slowly moved her long neck and eyed them as her potential 'dinner'.
The dragon's maw yawned wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth that gleamed menacingly in the moonlight. The dark abyss of her throat seemed like an endless tunnel, and the mere sight struck fear into the hearts of the tiny phoenix chicks.
"Chick!"
"CHICK!"
"Chhhhhiiiiiccccckkkkkk!"
Seeing the dragon's wide mouth and the tiresome sight, the chicks trembled. Some even retreated a few steps, intending to run away.
Yet, the featherless one, displaying a surprising resilience, rallied its companions with a resounding, "Chick!"—an encouraging cry, urging them not to be afraid.
In the throes of her dizziness caused by heat, all Kayra could think of was that these creatures were mere birds.
