A shadow falls on the frozen field of battle, bringing the gathered knights to a sudden silence. Beating wings send sprays of mist into the watching men's eyes as the great breast settles into the center of the field. The falling rain sizzles as it strikes the hide of the majestic creature, the frosted ground thaws around its feet.
The dragon watches, just as it is watched. The man-creatures seem strange in their metal hides, so different from their usual cloth finery. Their former bravado is replaced by nervous mutterings, each one wondering the purpose of the dragon's presence.
The dragon leans down, bringing his eye to the level of one of the knights. This man-creature is short and round, looking more like a metallic boulder in his armor than a knight. The dragon considers him before reaching a decision.
