Searing waves of dragonfire clambered and pulsed through the dark. The air was hot and staggering, enough to choke the life from his body as it wraps around him. From above, beasts shriek and spit at the earth to further the state of mind-shattering panic welling in his chest. Fierce, copper eyes meet his directly, and his ears suddenly fill with the monstrous bellowing of a dragon while tearing down the remainder of his warrior's courage.
Drago's eyes flitted open to dim sunlight filtering in around him. His face was gilded with beads of sweat; his discomfort became apparent with a pang in his chest, accompanied by shallow, rhythmic breathing that wheezed lightly in his throat. He lay still as a statue on his straw bed, regaining his composition while slowly waking. Around him, the air was dead and dull, accompanied by a mild, musky mix of animal fur, damp wood, and his own terror sweat.
Cautiously, Drago sat up in his bed and rubbed his rough face, leaning into his broad palms for comfort. With a slow, drawn out sigh, he pressed his hand to his eyes further so as to wipe away the sleep from his sight, then inhaled the wild scent of the room to compel his legs to move and lift him to a standing position from the bed. His body shuddered, remembering the last fleeting moments of his night terrors. It wasn't long before his thoughts struck him with a sudden realization: the room he sat in wasn't his; last he remembered, he was being dragged into the freezing and unforgiving waters of northern Berk along with the defeated Bewilderbeast that he so poorly abused.
