Moving deeper into the mountain range in the direction of the gnoll civilization located at the center of the mountain range and at the base of the largest mountains, Scaly was let down by the monsters she encountered along the way.
Although they became stronger, there wasn't any among them related to dragons. The only potential monster she had seen that might be related to dragons and have dragon blood flowing through it was a large bird that flew away and disappeared behind a mountain before she had a chance to inspect it.
The reason she believed it was related to dragon even though she didn't get the opportunity to inspect was because of the prominent scales that covered its body. Not so different from the scales of the drake or the ones that covered her body.
Of course, the bird's scales were far uglier than her beautiful scales, but they were ultimately still something that she had only ever seen on the drake.
