Journal #18- More Sensory Writing



As I pondered the multitude of eyes beaming at me from the magnificent creature, I forgot to look at the rest of its gigantic body.  The emerald spheres gazing down upon me captivated my attention and I could not withdraw my gaze.  The multitude of eyes, twelve to be exact, were looking back at me with as much wonder as me at him.  I could not understand how such a huge creature found its way into this dark and frigid cave.  Once I finally ripped my gaze from its monstrous eyes, I glimpsed the rest of its body.  From my perspective, it appeared to be a dragon of some sort.  I was not really afraid, but definitely weary of its tremendous power.  I was not sure what its capabilities were, I only knew that its full attention was fixed on me.  As I looked closer, I saw that its shining fur was actually deep blue scales.  For minutes I stood there and gazed upon its color and majesty.  Though it only had one neck, all twelve of the eyes were located above the nostril.  That is when I smelled it. A strong blast of smoke hit me in a fraction of a second.  It was so strong I could practically taste it.  I tripped over my own feet backwards and gave a yelp.  The huge and powerful creature also cringed and retracted his neck.  I looked up at it and it looked back at me inquisitively.  I cautiously got up and stepped closer.  The smell of smoke, specifically burnt metal still hung in the air, but it did bother me as much.  I steadily walked closer until I was close enough to touch those magnificent scales.  I reached out across the gap of a few feet and came in contact with a smooth surface.  The scales were hard yet slick.  They were like ice that would never melt.  Even the temperature of them matched that of ice.  I was truly amazed with this encounter.
