When Little Flah the encirclement of the adventurer party it had incurred heavy wounds Blood was dripping down the slick scales, adding on

Unable to understand why the short haired creatures had reacted like this when they saw itself, the little dragon fled as fast as possible, desperately reviewing its last battle for clues on any possible misbehavior

Faced with the choices of either getting enslaved or fight back the party, Little Flame swiftly dispatched the first strike and was able to directly take out two of the shortears wielding weird-looking metal teeth and iron scales

As individuals they eak and frail,them no opponent at all for the ferocious beast, yet they had intelligence and used it to arrange themselves in a formation to fend off the swift blows and heavy slices of their fiend’s claws Choer-like teeth, Little Flames took them by surprise and one of the short-haired lost his head In spite of that the longears and the slower shortears who had arrived quickly after Little Fla The situation truly turned around when one of the long-ears took out a black ht si the shorthairs that had been biting into its skin over and over again, leaving s up

Frustration accumulated and the power used by the short ears with the wooden stick (instead of aflight, and therefore escape, and decreased its speed and strength considerably The co forered Little Fla ears even dared to inflict pain and add wounds on the dragon’s skin and scales Thinking about a way out of its predicament, Little Fla it For attacking it without reason For taking away its strength and speed

Losing its h its veins, Little Fla a [Black Flame Breath] happened as a reflex, but took the short-haired creatures by surprise and killed the one that had casted the constraints binding the black wings and li disappeared and the beast took the opportunity to turn around to flee Unfortunately the longear with the black tooth used thea long tear that constantly dripped blood

Instead of a deep gash, all that re was a shallow cut, slightly dripping with blood, adding a s lake Each tiluttonous lizard’s sto sensation appeared to take away another part of the pain, soothing and repairing any da the scales

The s to its position had already dried The dead ns of injury, s back about it, the bloody smell had tempted Little Flame to walk to this direction, and the delicious taste of the leaders hter of the place’s chief, as ht and was therefore resting to recuperate from his wounds

Ironically another strong predator showed up when Little Flay, i the stale air in the cave Over the distinct raw smell of the ite the cave, a delicate earthen s on stone Raising its head, Little Flalowing streaks, and holding a straight line with two kinds of lights, releasing a stronger pressure than the prey the dragon was chewing A vaguely faaze back on the meal before its eyes

After having gulped down a few e one flinch and turn around, asdown the corridor could be heard The feeble breeze carried new snized the odours’ owner as the short hairs that had tried to capture it Unfortunately, fleeing was impossible for the cave only had one exit

On the other hand the fa presence, and the other party had lost the one who had taken away Little Flahed it down In a confrontation between the two opposing parties, it was confident on its own ability to come out as a victor

The enemy sent forth the weakest members first, a scheme that Little Flahairs crashed into the s the black lizard, and the sear’s poiftly repelled theely similar to the noise the bones of the meal beneath Little Flame made when they broke When the weak creatures finally stoppedin the adventurers tongue The two shi+ny longears donned again their on carefully eyed the black metal tooth, especially as they stepped between itself and the re posture

The conversation between the eneear near Little Flan words since it had never heard them before Nonetheless as the discussion continued, the blinding threads around the longear shi+elding the beast coiled denser and grew in volume Little Flame was able to estimate that the whole eneear based on the pressure they were respectively e
