Iron Hills.
Rock Oven Tavern.
The tavern was as lively as ever. One sturdy Dwarf after another sat in groups of three or five, or in pairs facing each other over drinks, loudly chatting as they raised beer mugs as big as small faces and gulped them down.
A red-haired burly man sat alone in a corner drinking. A closer look would show that his attention wasn't on the ale, but on the outside through the nearby window, at the many pillars on the plaza where ferocious dragon heads hung from their tops.
This red-haired burly man was none other than the Elder Red Dragon Klaus, who had just arrived in Iron Hills. He had taken human form and come to the Rock Oven Tavern.
Klaus, whose Challenge Level reached as high as Level 25, had barely mastered the Ultimate Transformation Spell, allowing him to assume a human shape, but some of his special traits still could not be changed.
Such as the red hair, such as being male, such as those bulging muscles.
