Interesting short story, I liked how it played out! Using present was a bit strange, though. Also so the mouse, making me a bit confused about size relations (clearly the dragon was large, however Trevan compared to the dogs was tricky, with some melee taking place there). I also feel some faint reference by the choice to the Aesop's Lion and the Mouse, probably intentional. I would have liked if the mouse was smaller, with appropriate different techniques in the finale fitting the size difference (a tiny, insanely quick and dexterous mage could also be a nasty foe!). Anyway, I liked the concept, what it told, so faved :)

Thanks! Glad you like it.
hmm, mouse and lion, unintentional if I did. I barely recall that fable. Haven't read it in some time, I'll reread it.
as for perspectives...they're skewed anyway. He's looking down through her eyes, almost like a "follow" camera in a video game. I'd imagine that the wolves are a bit taller than Trevan.

The "follow" camera idea: it popped in my mind reading that part, too, imagining how it supposed to work out, was interesting. With the sizes I referred to what you mention, the wolves being just a bit taller than him, for me raising some doubts whether using a mouse was a good idea there (or rather doing that scene with a mouse). I think a characteristic trait of a mouse is his small size, which should have been used proper there to justify the choice (not that the overall idea was wrong, but he should have played it out differently, according to the size difference). OK, no more on that, just my thoughts: a bit of creativity there could have emphasized much better his being of a mouse.

he may be small, but he knew that a dragon had his back, and his training kicked in. the spell he cast allowed him to compel her to do things. Yes he was smaller, but his backup was huge. If she wasn't behind him, things would have been much different.

Sure so, I just meant that some of the melee actions in there suggest a not too large size difference, since they simply wouldn't work if he was really small like a mouse to a dog or wolf. I thought that probably here you could have taken a different approach to make him really feel like a tiny mouse, he can still be bold with the dragon's backing, but doing different things (be creative) to win the battle! :)
