From this distance, maybe three hundred meters away, the creature looked enormous.
It was bigger than the dragon he'd seen from far away during the first attack on the village. This was the same red dragon he saw eyeing and flying over the village a couple of times.
It had the same scales with a deep crimson that was visible even through the ash and soot covering its body. Its wings were folded against its sides and one of them looked wrong somehow, bent at an angle that wings probably shouldn't bend at.
Is it hurt?
Its chest was moving. Slow, deep breaths that made the ash around its body drift in small clouds with every exhale. So definitely not dead. Just lying there next to his village's most sacred tree and sleeping or resting or.. doing whatever hurt dragons do when they destroy an entire forest and then lie down in the middle of it.
"What the fu*k are you doing here..?" Eren whispered to nobody.
The dragon's eye opened and made him flinch!
