Permafrost Hollows re: new beginnings

Kratos had returned a few days ago—whether he’d been successful at his task or came about empty handed is yet to be determined bc what are timelines. Perching he does on the outposts his mate created, and when not looming, the dragon takes about lazy strolls along their borders.
It is one such stroll that he stumbles upon a particular sight that has the spiked fur along his spine standing on end. A child. The dragon prowls forward. Massive paws stomp through the stream without care to approach the foolish boy. What are you doing here?
