The dragon had always been fascinated by the creatures of the forest, from the tiniest insects that crawled on the ground to the massive trees that towered above him. He would often spend hours just watching them, observing their habits and behaviors with a keen eye. Every time he did so, regardless of their species or current season, a sense of peace would wash over him. He knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be - a guardian of the forest, protecting the creatures within from outsiders who may pose a threat. After all, the forest was not only his territory, but also his home, and he would do everything in his power to ensure that it remained peaceful and undisturbed.
