Wow Molly! I love the chapter you posted. It was so descriptive--I could completely visualize the environment. The change your protagonist (or is he an antagonist, ultimately?) is remarkably specific and surprising.. There he is on this path and assuming that as the Chosen One he'll be a benevolent ruler. Suddenly, though, he becomes a completely different person, as if his mind has been taken over by a supernatural force, and that makes me wonder if, in fact, the dragon controls him rather than the other way around. I am very curious to read more.
