Fred did not believe the Dragon. After all, why should he? Everyone knew
that dragons were not to be trusted. Besides, the creature had killed
Belboz, who had aided him in his quest. What more proof did he need? So he
advanced on the beast, sword in his hand, trying not to be intimidated by
its great size or the unblinking gaze of its slitted yellow eyes.
Fred was taken by surprise at the Dragon's response. Instead of advancing to meet him, it stretched its great wings and began to beat them. There seemed something almost tentative about it at first, almost as though the Dragon had never done this before, but the beating quickly became more powerful and, just before Fred could get close enough to strike the first blow, the Dragon glided into the air. It hovered above him, just out of reach. "Come down, you coward!" Fred shouted.
