There is a lot of backstory and lore inside this artwork and it's an artpiece that depicts a specific scene so let me try and give some quick context about it.

Kiearra (also known as Predatoria due to some previous deeds she sees as quite valiant), while exploring this area, came across a rather interesting, old villa. After poking her head inside, she was confronted with the reality that this villa, despite its looks, was actually inhabited by an older, rather scholarly looking man and his adventurous nephew.

The older human's name is Friar Glynnford, and he is a rather devout friar and skillful healer. Unfortunately, the teachings of his religion have instructed him that dragons are evil, that it's a religious order to slay them, and even that dying while attempting to kill one sends you to a good afterlife. He has spent a significant fraction of his earlier years tending to the wounds of those who fought and killed many dragons here in this place, driving out many of the local dragon flights including a flight of ice dragons that went by the name, The Sciathdraig.

The younger human's name is Wulfstan, and he was not yet alive during the time when many dragons died in these lands. He's only heard of dragons in books and by word of mouth and has never seen one before. Though religion teaches that dragons are evil, he's not as dead-set in that belief and finds them to be fascinating and wonderful. He has taken it upon himself to write a book about the dragons he's now met here, including writing about Kiearra. Of course, she really wants to read that book now. It'd be the first time she's been written about in a positive light, which excites her.

Despite his initial beliefs, Friar Glynnford was confronted with the stark reality that this particularly evil dragon, one he'd read about as the Predatoria herself - the horrifying, man-eating black dragon that killed so many 200 or so years ago, was very much not actually attacking him, trying to eat him, or destroying his villa. How very strange. After a surprisingly peaceful conversation that even came with an explanation as to why Kiearra felt her namesake was justified, the topic of druidic runestones came up.

Flewian, the shy green dragon in the background, knew where one was and Kiearra was more than eager to go find it and bring it back to them. It was a bit heavy but she doesn't seem to mind it. She doesn't know how to read it, but the older human, Glynnford, certainly has some texts on the topic to sift through. In this picture, she has just returned with Flewian and is now eagerly presenting her find to the inhabitants of this place.

The runestone does contain a hidden meaning. I wonder what it may say.

This scene is also inspired by a scene from the Eragon movie where Saphira is standing on the top of a ridge with her wings up like this. I really liked the majestic pose, so I drew a similar scene here.

There's a lot more to the story of this artwork than that, but hopefully it works as a good summary.
