The velociraptor skidded violently in front of the stone table where Max and Moonlight were sitting, digging its claws into the courtyard ground while letting out a sharp screech.
Max remained completely frozen.
Mouth hanging open.
Brain disconnected.
Because yes.
That was a real velociraptor.
Inside a medieval fantasy castle.
Being ridden by the kingdom's most powerful mage.
Max slowly pointed at the creature.
"That…"
Pause.
"…is a dinosaur."
Moonlight, meanwhile, looked like she was about to explode with excitement.
"MASTER SERAPHINE!"
The little dragon practically leaped off the fountain.
"IT'S AMAZING!"
She ran toward the velociraptor, staring at it in fascination.
"Where did you get this beast?"
Seraphine smiled with absolute pride while remaining mounted on the creature.
"This beauty is called Raptor."
She gently patted its neck.
"We don't know exactly how he appeared in this world…"
Her smile became more amused.
"…but he's definitely not from here."
