Powerful imagery

*bows and scrapes* Thank you for commenting. :)

Fire would never kill a dragonlord! Of course! I liked the trope. So many possibilities *scratches chin thoughtfully*

There is, isn't there? (Yes! Goal achieved!)
Do feel free to grab the ball and run with it.

Thank you for your lovely comment! :D

I love how much meaning is packed into a simple 100 words. There is so much potential for this, and it's very strong, very powerful, and though but few words there is, there's a lot of imagery going on because nearly all is left to the mind.

I'm also loving the trope that fire cannot kill a dragon lord. Brilliant idea on that.

This is splendid, I love it all. Great work here!

Phew! I'd blush, but I am too glad to hear you say that. I was worried I was trying to squeeze too much into a too small space and that it wouldn't make sense to anyone but me.

Thank you! :D

THAT'S F--ING BEAUTIFUL.

I am looking at you like Arthur looks at Merlin in your userpic.

Loved how he knew if they burned him, he'd survive. Great job.

Thank you!
I think Merlin would be hopeful to the very last, but still plan for the worst.
