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.
