Dracolyte

Dracolyte

A man steps into a tavern, his eyes glow with the power of ancient magic. The red cloak around him seems strange, curled around his front but connecting to his back. As he sits down, a drunk guard challenges him to a dual, hurling insults at the quiet new patron. The guard draws his sword and the man stands, unfurling his cloak into a pair of great red dragon wings. His hands burn with fire and his breath exhales embers. The guard stares slack jawed in awe before slinking away in defeat. The dracolyte curls his wings around him and sits once more.
In the midst of a castle siege, a platoon of strange black scaled ursans approach a wall, and in unison vomit acid onto the stone, melting it away. The soldiers inside spew forth, but can only stare in awe as a black scaled woman transforms into a dragon, melting them with an powerful exhalation of acid.
Bandits surround an elvish nomad in the desert. His fingers crackle with lightning as he drives a sword through the first cutthroat. A second bandit falls to a bolt of lightning shot from his hand and the elf throws his cloak off and takes flight on a pair of sapphire wings.
