The old castle had mostly been cleared out during its conversion to a public recreational site. The place was deserted at this time of the night, but the late-night stroll in the quiet of the night was what Arysdron needed.
After he had to be constantly helped & cared for during his bout of Shapeshifter Flu, Arysdron was happy to have his body fully reformed & back to normal. The walks were helping to re-acclimatize the usage of his limbs too.
“Hmm…” The dragon paused. In his wanderings, he’d come across a statue he hadn’t seen before. On closer inspection, it looked suspiciously like himself.
He was still trying to comprehend this when the statue’s eyes suddenly lit up with a red glow. Arysdron started, jumping back in surprise. However, it was too late & he already felt a surge of magical energy reacting in himself.
Tendrils appeared at his jaws and pulled his open maw shut.
