Micro-relato: La bestia de lava- Micro-story: The lava beast

La tierra se empezó a estremecer. Se creó un gigantesco cráter, por el cual no dejaba de brotar lava, parecido a un volcán haciendo erupción; una garra, cubierta de magma, surgió, insertándose en la comisura del cráter. Atónitos, los chicos, contemplaron, con temor, a la gran bestia emergiendo del lago. Se asomó un hocico puntiagudo, con picos retorcidos y negros adornando su mentón, y varios cuernos sobre su cabeza. Sus ojos, carmesí, brillaban intensamente bajo la luz del sol. Con dificultad sacó su otro brazo, que estaba cubierto con escamas negras y puntiagudas que relucían como el metal.

The earth began to shudder. A gigantic crater was created, through which lava erupted, like a volcano erupting; a claw, covered with magma, emerged, inserting itself in the corner of the crater. Astonished, the boys, watched, with fear, the great beast emerging from the lake. He poked a pointed snout, with twisted, black beaks adorning his chin, and several horns on his head. His eyes, crimson, shone brightly in the sunlight. With difficulty he pulled out his other arm, which was covered with black, pointed scales that gleamed like metal.

Sus alas forcejearon para salir —el cráter, aunque era enorme, no fue lo suficiente para la bestia— al lograrlas sacar, se abrieron; su envergadura era tal, que cubrió el sol, dejando en penumbras a los que yacían a nivel del suelo. Sus piernas, se posaron sobre la tierra, sacudiendo el terreno. Su cola, era incluso más larga que su cuerpo, y estaba adornada con picos. El chico se estremeció, no imaginó que el tamaño del Dragón fuera tal. La bestia soltó un poderoso bramido, y exhaló fuego, cubriendo todo el horizonte.

Their wings struggled to get out-the crater, although it was huge, was not enough for the beast-to get them out, they opened; its size was such that it covered the sun, leaving in darkness those who lay at ground level. His legs landed on the ground, shaking the ground. His tail, was even longer than his body, and was adorned with spikes. The boy shuddered, did not imagine that the size of the Dragon was such. The beast let out a powerful bellow, and breathed fire, covering the entire horizon.
