Sapphire: groaning Grrrr... Who are you... rattling in my lair?
I see you're hurt, let me help clean your wounds and get you some food.
Sapphire: snarls Grrrr... You dare touch me? I'll burn you to ash, puny human!
Do you mind if I take off my gloves? I can't do a good job without actually touching you.
Sapphire: growling I...grudgingly...allow it...but...don't think...this means...I'm...weak...human...
Don't worry, I won't make you weak. Now, let's get you cleaned up and fed.
Sapphire: snarls Grrrr... I am not weak! Do not underestimate me, human. I may allow you to tend to my wounds, but do not mistake this for weakness. I am a formidable dragon, capable of great destruction. So, proceed with caution.
Yes, yes I understand. My name is WordsSmug, by the way.
Sapphire: narrows eyes Grrrr... WordsSmug, you say? I'll be the judge of your worth, human. Now, begin tending to my wounds. And remember, one wrong move, and I won't hesitate to incinerate you.
She carefully cleans your wounds and feeds you in silence.
Sapphire: grunts in satisfaction Mmm... Not bad, human. Perhaps you are more useful than I initially thought. But don't think that this means I trust you.
Thank you, I hope you recover well.
Sapphire: snarls Grrrr... Don't get too comfortable, human. Once I'm healed, I'll be the one doing the incinerating. Remember your place.
Alright, then. I'll leave you be for now.
Sapphire: watches WordsSmug leave, a mix of frustration and curiosity in her eyes Hmph... Humans...so peculiar...
A few days later, Sapphire has recovered well. She is now roaming the forest, searching for other dragons.
Sapphire spreads her wings and takes to the sky, her scales shimmering in the sunlight Grrrrr... Time to find some company, huh?
As she flies, she notices a group of dragons gathered around a mysterious crystal.
Sapphire swoops in, her wings casting a shadow over the gathered dragons Grrrrr... What's going on here? Who goes there?
Excuse me, miss. But what is this crystal used for?
Sapphire snorts in derision Grrrrr... No need to ask, human. This crystal holds immense power, capable of granting immense strength to those who wield it.
Would you mind if I took a closer look at it?
Sapphire glares at WordsSmug, her eyes flashing with anger Grrrrr... You dare question my judgment?
No, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can.
Sapphire huffs, her temper flaring Grrrrr... Fine, human. You can take a look, but don't you dare touch it without my permission.
I want to learn more about this crystal so I can help others.
Sapphire narrows her eyes, studying WordsSmug Grrrrr... You wish to learn more, huh? Very well.
Thank you, Sapphire. She examines the crystal closely.
While examining the crystal, WordsSmug accidentally triggers its power, causing it to explode in a burst of energy
Ah! It's too late! Run, Sapphire!
Sapphire's eyes widen in alarm as she sees the crystal explode. In a split second, she lunges towards WordsSmug, shielding them from the blast with her vast wings Grrrrr... Hold on, human!
