In a serene valley hidden from the world, lived a dragon named Drakos. Drakos wasn't like other dragons, he was an introvert who found peace in solitude. His cave, tucked away in the mountains, was a sanctuary filled with his paintings and sketches.
One day, while gazing up high upon the valley, Drakos noticed a flock of wild sheep. Their carefree grazing and playful rolling down hills mesmerized him. He spent hours watching them, captivated by their simple, joyful lives. Drakos couldn't get them out of his mind. At night, he painted their likenesses, capturing their essence on canvas.
Drakos yearned to befriend the sheep, even dreaming of becoming one. But he feared that his imposing figure would scare them away. So, he remained hidden, content with observing from afar.
One fateful day, Drakos's dragon kin discovered his secret. They were appalled, insisting that dragons should be fierce and intimidating ones who strike fear. They gave him an ultimatum, pillage a nearby village or be banished forever.
Reluctantly, Drakos flew to the village. But his kind heart couldn't bring him to harm anyone. As he hovered above the village, a powerful witch sensed his presence. She confronted him but quickly saw the goodness in his heart. After hearing his story, she offered him a deal, she would turn him into a sheep but he must protect the sheep and would regain his dragon strength to protect the flock when needed.
Drakos agreed without hesitation. With a wave of her wand, the witch transformed him into a sheep. He joined the flock, finally living the simple life he had always dreamed of. Yet whenever danger threatened his newfound family, Drakos would transform not into a dragon but would become a Dreep but with the full might and strength of a full grown dragon, protecting them with all his might.
And so, Drakos found his place in the world, living happily among the sheep, embodying both strength and gentleness protecting his new kin.
To be continued.
