Kosjurec stepped onto the dry, dead land. The island was two weeks by boat from his home continent, and the ship which dropped him off wouldn't be back for five days, as agreed. He had heard that others would be coming to this island, so for now, all the dracon could do was to wait for them. He took in the scenery, beholding an island of death. It was a dragon burial ground, a place few dared to tread.
It was said that dracons experienced locations differently than many other sentient species. Not only was their sense of smell better than a human's or an elf's, but they always went barefoot, so they got a sense of the feeling of the place beneath their claws. A bucolic farm might look fresh and alive to a human, but it would also smell and feel alive to a dracon. This place was not only dead, but it felt dessicated. Even the sands of his homeland felt more alive than this place. It was as if everything in this land was not merely dead, but depleted as well, if that made any sense.
A few meters from the shore, and Kos felt no hint of moisture, and apart from the salty spray of the sea, he couldn't smell much of anything, save the ash on the wind. He hoped his sword and armor would be enough to handle anything this dead realm could throw at him.
