1. The way you use description. In the first half its focused on smaller details and textures (the dragon's scale being rough on one side, soft on the other; the cold air on the ear). You saved the biggest visual description for the dragon itself - made it seem that much more imposing.
2. The fight. They're always good in your fiction. This one had me riveted. The outcome hung in the balance pretty much the whole time, and I kept asking "Will any dwarves or alokath survive?"
The grill's fired up and ready for that dragon steak!
Delicious!

A marvelous addition to dragon month.
Thank you! Great to read that the descriptions worked.
I wasn't sure how many were going to die when writing and at one point I thought the same thing 😂 but a few scraped through.
Bravo, well done.
Mixing demon and dragon into one form and bringing enemies together to kill it.
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed this tale.
