Alpha Dragon
When the heaving stopped, I finally answered, "Death, I smell death."
"Humph. You smell of vomit and fermented drink. I don't believe you are one to speak."
"Gods, do it. Just do it, you hulking jerk."
"Do what, human female named Acasia?"
"Kill me, please." It came out on a shriek.
"You humans are strange." This time, his other talon shoved me farther away, moving me from his barf-covered claw.
A deer hoof attached to a partial leg rested two inches in front of my face. I managed to scramble to my feet. I saw the dragon lift his middle claw.
