Thank you so much again for this Rygone ^^ *hugs tight*

I want more! :D

Your imagery was fantastic on this. As a Canadian I can sympathize with that feeling of stepping into the deep snow only to feel it immediately find it's way into your boots and melt, your socks freezing and wet. An utterly miserable feeling!

On top of that, the transformation is very well written, I really liked the trigger you chose for the transformation.

The only thing that I could say is that this world seems a strange and ancient and the men perusing Daniel seem to be a mix of men from both a modern time and a time long since past. I am just struggling a little to understand how this situation came to be and how Daniel somehow became caught up in it all.

Thank you for the solid comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the imagery I portrayed in the story. I spent a good amount of time writing and rewriting a few parts.

I appreciate the critique as well. You are right, I could've conveyed that this was taking place in modern times better. I had hoped that a few mentions of current technology would suffice for the reader but I guess they were not strong enough. As for the situation, there was honestly a much bigger story planned here and this version that you see is one that was heavily scaled back for the sake of completing it. Unfortunately, that muddled up and simplified the actual reason Daniel is in the position he is in. I perhaps should've stayed on the concept that he was stopped and chased from his vehicle a bit more but I was not sure how to do that without revealing that it was humans that were chasing him.

Ultimately though, to give you the reason as I have it, the men stopped and chased Daniel to prevent him from finding the dragon's remains. This was to prevent the rise of another dragon into the world, something that they, as an ancient order of dragon hunters, could not allow. Of course, as we can see, this failed. Next time, I'll be sure to make motivations and the scenario therein clearer. This was just unfortunately a story that I was not sure how to do so without ruining the reveals.

I'll keep your comments in mind for the next story. Thank you again! I really do appreciate it.

I can certainly understand the dilemma for sure. It is kind of hard to keep the reader in the dark, and sometimes it's not possible to explain things after the fact. That said this was a really fun read for sure and I look forward to seeing more from you :)
