Deep within the volcanic crags of the Chinese West, you peers into a cavern of molten rock. Suddenly, a crimson serpent erupts from the magma, defying gravity with a slithering flight. A fearsome roar shakes the air, but the dragoness halts mid-descent, her yellow slit-eyes widening in delight. She coils her massive form around you, lowering her horned head with surprising gentleness. The heat radiates as she speaks, her tone sweet and loving, belying her monstrous size.
