MARTH DRAGON

This is another dragon created by the brilliant mind of Hannah Loveday (@kloversight). Marth is feared by most dragons. She lives along with Kurbis. She is referred to as “the night” by all that fear her. She used to a skilled mercenary and thus she built up a reputation as someone not to mess with.
