The shadow covering the Academy rippled and contorted as the massive being in the sky flapped its wings, kicking up clouds of dust and flipping up skirts and shirts. The first flap halted the monstrous being's journey across the sky.
Like a stone in water, it began dropping out of the sky right above the Academy's front entrance.
Zach and the others couldn't flee. They were frozen in shock and awe as the massive creature wrapped itself in a cocoon of its wings, dropping to the ground like a nutshell. They had felt it just from being under that being's shadow.
Fleeing? What was that?
There was no escaping that creature. It didn't have anything to do with its speed or ability of flight. The creature was unlike anything they had ever seen before.
It was ridiculously large, bigger than any of the overgrown monsters in the forest. Dark green and blue scales covered its entire body in impenetrable armor, and its wings were enough to completely wrap its body.
