Art inspired by a short story titled Settle in. "Lie Back. Don't look."

We were looking for the oasis. A party member has business there.

We had been travelling for days, guided by the stars to keep our navigation true. The days were unbearably hot, the nights freezing cold. Our throats were parched, and exhaustion from the journey was setting in.

At last ahead we saw the green of trees and blue of water. The beauty of the water reflecting the sun, the palm trees, and the rocks there was inspiring, yet something felt a little uneasy, as if the wind was wrong.

One particularly strange character travelling with our group, an abomination of Kobold, with shedding poultry like wings, a dish tail, and a giant claw, rushed ahead. His skin was shrivelled and leathery, he had not had a proper soak in water for days.

When he reached the oasis in elation and excitement, the oasis just faded away, like a mirage on the sand. A particularly large rock remained, which began to lift from the ground.

Before us rose an adult blue Dragon, with a look of hunger and delight at his freshly delivered meal...

This is some art I recently did inspired by Cthulhu's slumber at the bottom of the Ocean.
