The Endless Abyss — Unknown Layer.
"What a twisted world this is!"
Velik, the radiant dragon of the divine nest, ground his claws into the corpse of an abyssal beast.
The body was rotten, its flesh oozing a stench that burned his throat and clung onto his scales like poison.
Even for one as proud as him, the smell was too much. His chest tightened, and he shook himself free, trying not to gag.
"Disgusting… not just the land but everything in this wretched world" he hissed, his voice laced all the disgust he could muster.
A shadow moved in the distance, something lurking in the shadows.
Velik didn't hesitate, his lungs swelled, and he released a violent blast of compressed wind that tore across the landscape. The lurking creature almost instantly burst into pulp, and its ichor sprayed over the scarred ground.
The hiss of its death gave Velik a moment's relief, but his anger soon boiled again.
