A sudden chill disrupted the warmth, prompting her to open her eyes. As the haze of sleep lifted, she felt an unsettling cold sensation snaking beneath the layers of blankets around her legs.

Its scales shimmered in the early light, and its cold presence sent a shiver down Ophelia's spine. The unexpected encounter left her momentarily paralyzed, her heart racing as she assessed the surreal scene unfolding in her chamber.
The creature, though cold and alien, seemed more curious than menacing, its eyes fixed on Ophelia with an almost intelligent gaze. In the hushed stillness of the room, the only sound was the soft rustle of the creature's scales against the fabric.
