...a person?
The impression is almost impossible to ignore, the face is like a human one with an elongated mouth, stretched into a short snout. The face has lots of tiny creamy white scales all over it... no, some white, some a pinkish color and some... red? The overall effect is creamy colored but it... the lightning doesn't last long enough to see much more, but you do note it is only about ten feet tall, not the huge dimensions you associate with dragons. Maybe this is some sort of mutated person or something? Though how would that explain the wings?
"Um, can you speak? I just.. HEY!" it's large clawed hand just gripped you under your left armpit. Then it just...
"OOOF!" you grunt as it... TAKES OFF! You gasp as air swooshes by you, your head thrust hard against it's side, blocking your view and almost smothering you. Every beat of it's huge wings surges you upwards, almost knocking the wind from you till it levels out, soaring high above the trees. You manage to wriggle till your face tips back, seeing past it's side to the view behind. Every time the wings beat they block your view, but it's mostly soaring now, barely moving them, and the view... it's incredible! You can see your camp site disappearing behind you you, very rapidly! This thing is really moving fast, and at least with your face pointed backwards the wind isn't in your face stopping you from breathing!
"Hey, HEY! Stop this, what are you.. *Ungh!* He*Mphl!*" you manage before it twists you and jams it's arm against your head, yet again smothering you against it's side and blocking your vision.
You struggle, but it just presses harder with it's arm and you strain to draw breath! Once you calm down it relaxes it's grip and you can breath once more. You get the message and try to calm down.
The trip is thankfully short and soon you feel yourself going down and then it drops you to the floor abruptly. Light from a camp fire in this... cave? Well, where ever this is is lit fairly well by the fire and you can see it is fairly clean in here, bare stone walls, seemingly crudely carved to give a smoother finish and stones carved (by claw?) into simple chairs and tables. A wing flap behind you grabs your attention and you turn to the dragon.
