The guards screamed, their armor getting so cold it's stuck to their skin. Each drop of sweat froze as they fell like hail. Under the stars, the massive creature towered over the garden, his claws digging into the ground.
"A dragon!" One of the guards cried, lifting his crossbow.
CREEK! The white dragon shifted his massive head, glaring at the guard pointing at him. In the blink of an eye, the guard fell on his knees, shaking as his limbs froze in place.
"I would have already killed you all if I wanted," The dragon growled, shifting its head around, "Call your lord, king, and leader!" He roared, shattering half the windows of the castle.
Thud! The king rushed to the balcony, glaring down with a worried face. "What do you want?" he screamed internally, ^Bastard, he didn't waste any time.^
