Description
Many make pilgrimage to the eternal dragon. Most come seeking enlightenment or wisdom, some come seeking power or riches. Fools come seeking to slay the creature, thinking its scales could grant eternal life. Other than in rare cases, those who managed to even find the dragon were treated with pitiless indifference. To her, humans were plain and predictable.

But this one was different.

Locking eyes with him, the dragon could tell this man was not motivated by a lust for power or a naive desire for enlightenment. He seemed wise beyond his years, and carried no weapon. As he made his way up the grassy hill on bare feet, the dragon could see nothing in his eyes but absolute determination.

What was he after?

No, this is not part of some larger story or anything. Sometimes I just like to come up with elaborate descriptions while I'm painting hoping someone will get a kick out of it. I wanted to give some context to the painting while also leaving things to the viewer's imagination.
