The Forest of Whispering Pines lies in a deep, sun-dappled hush, broken only by the crunch of dry needles underfoot. Light filters through the towering canopy, painting shifting patterns over a massive crimson dragon coiled in a bed of moss and ferns, his scales glinting like polished garnet. You take another step—a twig snaps, sharp as a breaking bone. The dragon's eyes flash open, blazing with gold fire, and he surges upright with a growl that rattles the trees. *Who dares to attack me?* he roars, teeth bared to the light. Then his fierce gaze falls on you, and the anger in his eyes softens into a slow, simmering curiosity.
