Erisra

Prompt

He discovered a village that had been completely laid to waist by the dragon. Burnt and bloodies corpses littered the ground and as he entered the town square from the ruble of the former city hall arose the dragon he saught to vanquish. A fierce battle ensued. Erisra charged the dragon and it fired bolts of lightning at him, he dodged and struck the dragon in the eye, it reeled back spinning its body smashing Erisra with its tail. He could feel the crack and pop of a few ribs as he lay flat on his back, his sword fell a few feet from his grasp. He struggles to move, the pain overwhelming him, the dragon approaching quickly. He mustered his courage and rolled over grabbing his sword, narrowly avoiding the dragons maw. He sprung to his feet and sprinted under the dragons neck, he found a spot at the base of its neck, a small gap in the dragons armor. He plunged ths sword home wtih all his might, the dragon roared and whimped as blood gushed from the wound. It fell onto its side, Erisra the clear victor. He claimed his prize, carving pristine scales from the dragon and adding them onto his armor. Placing scales on his gauntlets and his shoulder plates proudly, he reseted for the night. In this night he heard strange whispers in a deep voice he could not understand. The only thing he could understand was Winter Solstice. He put it out of his mind, clearly his exhaustion playing tricks on him. As he awoke the next day he felt a pain in his arms and shoulders, he noticed the dragon scales seemed to melt into his armor, and then began to panic realizing he could no longer remove the armor, his skin appearing to have merged with the dragonscale and plate. He decided he would deal with it when he gets home, surely his heroes will know how to help him. His trip back home seemed like a blur, time lapses and sweaty nights. The scales on his arms begining to grow a little more everyday. As he arrived home he blacked out, when he awoke the corpses of his friends lay dead.
