บท 293: Shimmering

She knew she should not give in so easily. But could you really blame her? It's not every day a person catches a glimpse of a dragon. Let alone, the dragon king himself. Laina picked up Titan in her arms. Though he was a big tough dog, she carried him with ease. 

"Alright, show me what you've got."

A gust of wind began to swirl around them. Fresh snow encircled Dante, covering him completely. Laina took a few steps back as a shadow loomed over her and Titan. It grew and grew, towering over her several times. 

Dante unfurled his wings, extending them at full length. The snow and wind disappeared in the blink of an eye, revealing the midnight blue dragon. Under the waning light, Dante's scales glistened and shimmered. 

At first, he was a little worried that Laina might be frightened of his appearance. But all his worries melted away when he saw the wide smile on her face. She ran up to him and touched the scales on his neck.
