In the Dragon's Lair

A majestic beast lives inside a cave. Sleeping there by day, soaring high each night. Red eyes burning bright. A fire breather, hunting for prey with a loud roar in tales and lore. I saw him as he slept when I crept in the dragon's lair. June 14, 2022 Diminished Hexaverse Contest Sponsored by Caren Krutsinger
