The Weight of Scales (Ch.1): Unfamiliar Territory (Pages 22-29)
Drake confessed that he is a dragon. Iris assumed that he was joking and laughs off her anxiety. Drake insists on his sincerity and is in-fact not human.
Iris started to get frustrated, thinking that his joke was going too far on someone who was only trying to help him. She is distracted by threatening to throw him out of her car if he didn't cooperate.
With some unseen magical interference, she barely slammed on the breaks in time to not collide with an accident that was blocking part of the road.
Slowly the perspective shifts to that of the magical interloper. It watched Iris and Drake restart their trek and revealed its knowledge of Iris' plan. With deft motions the creature's hands grabbed onto a bundle of magical string in order to meddle with the scene. It pulled the strings taught in its many hands like oh so many puppet strings and laughed. A half-hearted apology left its mouth as it made sure that every route to the medical center was impassable.
Iris was forced to try route after route until time finally ran out. Drake had fallen asleep and Iris made the decision to bring the strange man home with her for now.
She hoped that she wouldn't come to regret this choice.
The magical interloper, now revealed to be a giant moth-like creature, assured that despite the interference they are actually trying to help.
