The snow beneath Hazuki's boots trembled as something massive descended from above.
A colossal Ice Dragon burst from the swirling white sky.
Enormous and majestic, it was covered from head to tail in scales of pure white ice, sharp and translucent, like carved crystal. Frost crept across its hide, mist seeping from the gaps between scales with every slow breath.
Two massive wings unfolded as it descended.
The ground shook violently. Snow erupted into the air, and a freezing wind slammed into Hazuki's face, forcing him to brace himself.
Cold air poured from the dragon's gaping maw as its glowing blue eyes locked onto them.
Hazuki stared, frozen in place.
"Err... Ridan?"
"What!?" Ridan snapped, floating stiffly above his head.
"Do we… fight?"
"Are you dumb!?" Ridan barked. "If I remember correctly, you ran from a regular dragon before!"
"Ah… well…" Hazuki scratched the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "That was when I was weak."
