Snippet #1866574

This time, the large dragon took the time to glance at Relif again. When he spotted Relif's raised arm, covered in scales, his eyes went wide. Maybe he realized he struck at someone he was probably related with? However, no such luck was with Relif today. The dragon rose to he's feet, much MUCH taller than Relif with a look of such hatred in his eyes that it caused Relif to flinch. Elder dragons just couldn't stop being intemidating.

"No...You're an abomination!"

With a ear splitting roar, he released a massive torrent of flames, sending it at Relif like a tital wave. Raising his scale-covered arm in defense, Relif rushed to the left, fire washing over his arm harmlessly. The same could not be said for the rest of him. Even with those few seconds covered in flames, painful burns covered his legs, other arm and back. Dragon fire was far hotter than any human produced flame.

With a few moments to spare, Relif ran through his remaining options. Fighting was out of the question, even if Relif had his supplies. He could run into the forest and lose him between the trees, but doing so would have the chance of the entire forest going up in flames. Even if he wanted to live, Relif wouldn't sacrifice the whole forest to do so. Jumping in the river would protect him from the fire, but then he'd be even more vunurable. Damn, if only he hadn't left his pack...his pack!

Glancing behind himself, Relif spotted his pack in the exact place he left it- across the river. If he could get to it, he'd have a chance.

In a blur, Relif swirled around and made a mad dash for the river, sailing over the earth with incredible speed. Half dragon or not, if he didn't make it to the water before the dragon, he'd be toast. Literally.
