Madre Draco
Markarth is shaken awake by a strange sight: a colossal dragon calmly seated in the middle of the town square. Initially assumed to be a threat, the townsfolk panic and report it to King Erik. In response, he dispatches the kingdom’s finest — Dragon Slayer Xander — to eliminate the creature. But things aren’t as simple as they seem. As Xander prepares to strike, the mother dragon’s children emerge from hiding, revealing that this wasn’t an invasion — it was a family seeking refuge. Before anyone can act further, the town is suddenly stormed by aliens, throwing the entire narrative off course.
