"I am stronger than other Giant Dragons of the same age group because of the blessing of the Mother Tree, not because of you insignificant little creatures." Aivensa reverted to her original form, baring her teeth and roaring angrily, "If you dare spout nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll eat you all."
Being stronger than dragons of the same age was her greatest source of pride. If this distinction was due to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, she could accept it.
But because of a group of Gnolls? Her proud dragon ego could never accept that.
