Fire to the Stars

Translated from the research journal of Abel Estellio

The dragon exhibited strange behavior this evening.

A small meteorite crash-landed in the hills a few miles north of the cavern.

Since then, he’s been struggling against his chains in a presumed attempt to chase after it, and his talons are ripping up the cavern floor.

I’ll need to clear out the rubble to preserve my workspace.

This place is not burning thanks to the chains I wrapped around his muzzle. That is a small relief.

I’ll stay up overnight to ensure the chains remain secure, but it’s been four hours already. He’s still thrashing, hasn’t tired, and keeps staring in that direction with dilated pupils. Dragons are known for attacking their closest targets first, yet it’s as if he doesn’t know I’m here.
