fishtrouts:

Hopper, a pink dragon hatchling, is partially standing on the snout of a large white dragon named Avoryx. Hopper is shouting: “Mom! Mom!” ALT
Hopper climbs on her mother’s nose and whines: The tiny townsfolk called me a gummy worm! They mocked me, for my scales are pink!” Avoryx opens her eyes to that.ALT
Avoryx lifts her head, her hatchling still holding onto her snout. The white dragon says: “Your rosy hue does not keep you from devouring them.” Hopper, frustrated, declares: “Well, I don’t want to anymore!”ALT
Avoryx guides Hopper to a rock. As her hatchling steps down, she says: “You are of my blood. Your very being is a blight upon this world. Is that not enough?” Hopper looks away, her expression sad and unsure.ALT
Avoryx is no longer visible, but she continue her monologue: “If your pride is so shaken by your color, it will be remedied. I know a wizard who can shift the hue of scales.” Hopper perks up at her words and shouts: “Really?”ALT
The next panel features a burning town. The crumbling buildings are a dark contrast against the raging fire. The text above reads “Some time later…”ALT
The last panel features Avoryx sitting on the ruins of a castle, illuminated by the fire. She is now vivid pink, and her diamond-shaped scales have turned into hearts. Hopper is looking at the wreck from behind her mother, her mouth agape.ALT

Always a good time to burn down yet another village!
