Moonlit Hunter by Endermoonfur (Commission)
This commission was drawn by endermoonfur! You can check it out in their gallery here. Haven't they made Adhara look so dangerous and scary? :3 The moonlight casting that glow on her looks so cool!
Night isn't the time to be out and about in unfamiliar lands, not even with the full moon up there providing plenty of light. It's still hard to see well, and new places can be treacherous, with unexpected terrain and who knows what creatures to encounter.
Like a dragon.
Granted, you don't want to see a dragon during the day either, as they're rarely pleased to find visitors at the best of times, but moving around at night would suggest to one that you want to move with stealth, and that stealth is more likely to be bad for them than good. Sneaking around to hide, to steal, to harm? They're not going to wait and find out, they're going to drive you away... and the instant you spot this one, you know you're in trouble. She's not exactly hiding: right at the peak of the mountain with her wings up and the moon behind her, the cool glow is enough to see the stripes of her scales, let alone the fierce intent in her eyes, spread frills, and bared fangs. Her claws dig into the rock, and her whole body is coiled like a spring, powerful muscles just waiting for the right moment to send her rushing towards the intruders she's spotted.
No roar is necessary: she knows she's been seen, if anything she wanted to be seen. She wanted to see you freeze in dread, to fear your mistake and to fear [i]her,[/i] and that's just what she gets, her paws adjusting to get that perfect grip to launch and her eyes alight with intent. She does not care for trespassers, she knew you were on her lands, and now she's found you.
Adhara launches herself from the mountain like a rocket, far faster than you can hope to run. All you can do is hope the fierce dragoness will give you the mercy of retreat...
