Graeme glanced back to the ocean and saw the half-dragon unfurl his wings. He was trying to escape! "Halt!" He yelled, but not before the creature had already become half its original size in the cloudless sky. Graeme felt another flicker of anger, mixed with exasperation. He decided to follow the creature and leave the man at the beach. "Stay if you wish. I'll be back soon." The Hands retreated back into the ground swiftly, leaving the young man exposed, and he set off in pursuit of the dragon.
