Thank you for the commission.
I also love stories about proud characters falling from grace. Here's the theme for this one:
Nokomis was the Dragon Queen — well, once upon a time.
After the last hero took her down, the prideful queen got kicked out of the dragon pack.
To patch herself up, she shifted into human form, rebuilt her dragon heart, and forced a bunch of stranded scientists to craft her a mechanical body.
So she became a cyberdragon. When the next wave of heroes came knocking, she wiped out the whole party with brutal force — except one guy, who had a hidden ace up his sleeve and struck her down.
That's the gist.
