Story Prompt 55
In a land where dragons roamed freely, there was a village nestled at the edge of a dense forest. The villagers had heard rumors about a dragon living nearby, but no one dared to venture close to its lair. That is, until one curious soul decided to check out the dragon's room.
One bright morning, a brave young villager, filled with a mix of fear and excitement, set out on a journey towards the dragon's lair. As he approached the entrance, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest.
Taking cautious steps, he entered the cavernous space, his eyes adjusting to the dim light. To his surprise, the room was not filled with treasures and gold as he had expected, but rather with books and scrolls scattered about.
"Hmm, this isn't what I expected," he muttered to himself, brows furrowed in confusion.
Just then, a deep rumbling voice echoed through the chamber. "Who dares to enter my domain?"
The young villager froze in place, fear gripping his heart. "Uh, I-I come in peace," he stammered, trying to sound brave.
The dragon emerged from the shadows, towering over him with its massive wings spread wide. Its scales shimmered in the dim light, and its eyes glowed with intelligence.
"What brings you to my lair, little one?" the dragon asked, its voice surprisingly gentle.
The villager gathered his courage and replied, "I-I wanted to see if the rumors were true. They said you hoarded treasures, but I see books instead."
The dragon chuckled, a deep rumble that reverberated through the room. "Ah, you are mistaken, young one. While I do appreciate the occasional shiny trinket, my true treasure lies in knowledge."
"Knowledge?" the villager repeated, intrigued.
"Yes, indeed," the dragon replied, nodding its massive head. "I have spent centuries collecting books and scrolls from far and wide, learning about the world beyond my cave. There is so much to discover, so much to learn."
The villager's fear began to ebb away, replaced by curiosity. "Do you mind if I take a look?" he asked tentatively.
The dragon smiled, revealing rows of sharp teeth. "Not at all, young one. Feel free to explore to your heart's content."
And so, the young villager spent hours poring over the dragon's collection, amazed by the wealth of knowledge contained within.

the rat grinders getting whomped because they don't know how actual combat works is exactly what I've been waiting for all season. fabian taking down ivy in one turn bc they have no hp, them grouping up bc they don't know they're not supposed to and getting immediately shit on by adaine, riz's attack of opportunity doing more damage to kipperlilly than her actual attack did to him, gorgug taking down oisin by the end of round 1 bc they didn't protect their wizard, kristen and k2 both bringing all their friends up while keeping themselves strategically hidden bc they know better, riz diving into the lava like it's nothing bc he's a badass, adaine slapping jace's counterspell out of the air, fig tanking that hit from porter and casting that clutch fireball. just. beautiful. iconic. poetic. exactly what the rat grinders deserve after xp grinding for three years instead of actually adventuring. you fucking suck at this game kipperlilly!! you might be high level but you're shit at pvp!!!!!

Thoughts and rambling below this point
I JUST SPEED-RAN A TWO-WEEK PROJECT IN THREE DAYS
I have been working tirelessly on this piece which has the most detail I think I've ever put into an art piece... at the very least background-wise, because I started this as a gift for fathers day. I ended up making something far more detailed and complex than I had originally intended and it just kept getting more and more complex. Worth it. So worth it.
Right now I've been staring at it too long and am not happy with it but I know it's good. I'll like it better tomorrow.
Zoom in if you can- there are details in it~
