The dragon shimmered in a brilliant shade of blue as it soared over the rooftops, gracefully gliding toward the river below. My heart raced with a mix of fear and determination, urging me to chase after it. I sprinted toward the water's edge, my feet pounding against the cobblestones, the cool evening air filling my lungs. The dragon's scales glinted in the fading sunlight, a breathtaking sight that momentarily stole my breath away. But that beauty was overshadowed by the horror of what I had just witnessed.
As I reached the riverbank, I watched in disbelief as the dragon morphed into a massive blue serpent, its elongated body coiling and twisting with an elegance that belied its monstrous nature. It was a sight both mesmerizing and terrifying, especially as I realized it had devoured my sister. The memory of her laughter echoed in my mind, a haunting reminder of what I had lost.
"Return my sister!" I cried out, desperation lacing my voice as I pleaded with the serpent, but it paid me no mind, slithering away with a satisfied belly, its scales glistening like jewels in the moonlight. The river rippled around it, reflecting the stars above, but all I could see was the emptiness left in my heart.
My heart pounded in my chest as I drew closer, the air thick with tension. I could feel the weight of my sister's memory urging me on, fueling my resolve. I had no weapon, no armour, just the raw fury of a brother wronged. As I approached, the serpent's scales shimmered under the moonlight, a hypnotic dance that almost made me hesitate. But I could not falter; I would not allow myself to be swayed by its beauty.
Consumed by grief and a thirst for revenge, I resolved to confront the creature. I would not let it escape unchallenged. The blue serpent lay in a deep slumber, its body swollen from its feast, the rhythmic rise and fall of its sides a cruel reminder of my sister's absence. Seizing the moment, I lunged forward, intent on striking a fatal blow to its head.
