Her mate was a mad Fae, that was the only thought that crossed Islinda's mind as she stared at the beast Aldric had brought into the palace.
The dust finally settled, revealing the enormous creature, its scales shimmering like an oil slick under the sun. Its long, barbed tail thrashed with agitation, and its massive, bat-like wings were now folded close to its body.
The creature's eyes, glowing a deep amber, darted around, filled with suspicion and tension. However it made no move to attack. Yet.
"What do you think of it?"
"What?" Islinda nearly jumped when Aldric spoke, her whole attention had been trained on the fearsome yet intriguing monster.
"It's called a Ka'er. And the last of its kind seemingly." He told her.
"It's large and scary." Islinda observed from the distance, her gaze moving from the weary beast to Aldric. "Why hasn't it attacked yet?"
"Because I haven't given the orders yet."
