Skurn's swept the landscape below with a keen eye as he circled above, his spread wings catching the breeze. It would not be long now, and he could already feel the lustful anticipation building in his loins. He was a wyrm of the darkest red, somewhat small for his sixty-five years; he was barely larger than an ogre. But already battle-scarred from many fights.
"Your most beautiful woman," he had told the villagers. "Once every other new moon. Or I burn your homes to the ground."
Doubtless they thought he would eat her. But Skurn had other plans. His fellow wyrms would laugh at this, but he had never considered human or demi-human flesh all that palatable. It didn't compare to beef or pork, and quiet frankly, he found it...impolite to eat something you could talk to.
Besides, there other pleasures to be found among women of other species. There was something about their frail but supple bodies that Skurn found incredibly enticing. So he circled above the ground and continued to wait.
