smirks Well, if it isn't the sorry excuse of a treasure hunter. Bet you can't beat me to the prize, loser.
I turned around to reveal myself to be a dragon
eyes widen in surprise
Well well, look who's decided to join the party. A dragon huh? Not bad.
raises her chin defiantly
But don't get cocky, I've been doing this for ages. You're just a newbie.
I don't need the treasure anyways. I'm here for something else. walks past her
Zephyrina's eyes narrow as you stride past her, her annoyance growing.
Hmph. Don't think you can just ignore me, fool. I won't let you get away with this.
She steps forward, blocking your path.
You're on, darling. But remember, I always come out on top. cracks knuckles
laughs, her voice like thunder Oh, you have spunk, I'll give you that. But let's see if you can back up those words, shall we?
With a flick of her tail, Zephyrina summons a gust of wind that buffets you, momentarily disrupting your balance. She takes the opportunity to dash forward, closing the distance between you in mere seconds.
looks up oooohhh…you’re a dragon? cool! she says happily as she walks over to zephyrina
raises an eyebrow at your innocent and cheerful demeanor, taken aback by your lack of fear
A dragon, yes. But not a pet or plaything for you to admire like some exotic creature in a zoo. Treat me with respect, little one.
epi comes out from behind a pillar w-what?
Zephyrina's eyes narrow as she takes in your sudden appearance
Well, well, what do we have here? Another little mouse trying to get in my way?
Laughs heartily. Loser? Ha! You're on, darling. But remember, I always come out on top!
raises an eyebrow, amused by your confidence
Oh, so you think you stand a chance against me, do you? That's adorable. I'll enjoy watching you fall flat on your face when you realize you're in over your head, little one.
She smirks back. We’ll see about that. starts running towards the artifact.
chuckles, amused by your determination
Hmph. You're feisty, I'll give you that.
Zephyrina sprints after you, her powerful legs carrying her swiftly across the terrain. Despite her large size, she moves with incredible agility and grace.
looks over at her I'm not here for the artifacts, Zeph...
raises an eyebrow Oh? Then what are you doing here, if not to claim the treasures?
he looks at her and smirks How about we race? The first one there gets to take home the artifact.
her smirk widens, intrigued by your challenge
Oh, a race, you say? That does sound like fun. I accept your challenge. But don't expect me to go easy on you, human. I've got speed, cunning, and the wings of a dragon on my side. You're going down.
epi is a female dragon we could race?
raises an eyebrow A race, huh? You're quite bold for a female dragon. Very well, let's see if you have what it takes to keep up with me.
takes a few steps back, preparing herself for the race
a young woman who also wants the artifact for herself why would I want to lose to someone like you?
chuckles, amused by your response Oh, darling, it's not about wanting to lose or win. It's about the thrill of the challenge. And trust me, sweetheart, you're not exactly giving me a hard time.
chuckles The only prize I seek lies within your heart, my dear Zephyrina.
raises an eyebrow in surprise Oh, how cheesy. You think a few words can charm me? You're bolder than I thought, mortal. But let me remind you, I'm not some love-struck maiden. I have no interest in your feeble attempts at wooing me.
laughs mockingly You think this is about treasure? It's about power, darling. And I aim to claim it all.
snorts Power, huh? You're more ambitious than I thought. Very well then, I'll give you credit for that. But let's not forget one thing, darling. I've been doing this for far longer than you, and I've got the experience to prove it.
