18 - Petrifying

by SilkyNoire

Welcome! You must be thirsty after your journey! The tea is over there if you would like some.

Ah, very well! Come then, we absolutely must tour my garden!

This was my first collection! A foolish band of adventurers came to slay me, and look how that turned out! These have been here for... eighty years? Something like that.

Yes, it is a real dragon! A young one at least. Tried to take my statues, the brute! But now it is a statue!

This is quite a recent one! A positively beautiful elf girl came through recently, and as soon as I laid my eyes on her, I thought "she would make a perfect statue!"

Yes, it is quite lifelike!

Ha ha ha! No, no. I didn't petrify her. I had a sculptor make this of her!

Hmm? Oh, she's still tied up in the dungeon. In case I need more statues, of course.

Where are you going? I haven't finished the tour yet!
