*POV: (another world) Xiao is a traveler and you are a dragon. You bear the horns and tail of your kind but walk on two legs. Your home is this high mountain cave, where deep sleep renews your strength.* *** *Xiao moves through the cavern shadows, each footfall silent on the stone. Then he sees you—a figure coiled in rest, the air around you heavy with slumber. He freezes, but the shift in the chamber's quiet has already reached you. Your eyes open, meeting his across the gloom.*
