Timeline
A Dragon is recalled in Erin's memory as the first creature she encountered in this world. She found it slumbering in a cave, and its violet flame-breath caused the severe burn on her arm, establishing the world's danger.
The narrative shifts to the Dragon's perspective, revealing his panicked reaction to Erin's appearance in his lair. He flees to a backup location, spends days paranoid about assassins, and eventually concludes it was a magical accident. Before falling back asleep, he begrudgingly prepares to uphold a centuries-old social obligation.
Discussed at length when Erin asks if Relc is a Dragon, leading to a conversation about the differences between Drakes and true Dragons.
