short story:
but it seems Vel is starting to try to get up the courage to find out what is behind the bushes, then Vel starts walking very carefully to get closer to the bushes but before he can touch the bushes surprisingly a dragon suddenly jumped while roaring quite loudly from behind the bushes which spontaneously made Vel very surprised and reflexively tried to dodge but because the weight of the luggage which was quite heavy made him start to lose his balance which made him immediately fall to the cold forest floor and at the same time the dragon also landed right in front of him while staring intently at him, seeing the danger in front of him Vel tried to crawl backwards while continuing to stare at the dragon with a very frightened expression, seeing its prey helpless in front of him the dragon began to smile slyly at Vel before finally the dragon started to open her mouth very wide in front of Vel which showed the inside of his mouth that could shine bright enough, on oter side the sight instantly made Vel start to tremble violently and slowly began to beg for his mercy while continuing to crawl backwards, but before Vel could crawl any further a quick and wet attack from the dragon landed on his head which instantly made almost all of Vel's head into the dragon's mouth which immediately made Vel really panic about the incident which was so fast and unexpected, even more so when Vel saw the endless abyss in front of him which immediately made him start thrashing but before it happened that the dragon quickly started to lift it up into the air which immediately made Vel even more panicked even more so when his body shifted slightly forward which made part of his of his head start to enter the dragon's throat that incident made Vel realize that the dragon had intended to start swallowing him.
