The Trap
The dragon swooped over the young girl lying prone in the clearing. It craved the magic radiating from her cloaked body like a shivering man needs the heat from a fireplace, but it still refused to come too close in its approach, timing its dive to sweep well above the treetops. This was the fourth time it had repeated the same pattern and it began yet again. It drove its elephantine body upwards using gossamer wings that should have been unable to achieve such a feat, before twisting into a spiral, winding upwards. At its zenith it looked like a wren on a balustrade to the warriors crouching under cover in the thick, damp undergrowth of the forest, yet they knew that it would perceive any movement even from that great height.
