,&,&,&,&,&   the humidity in the cave air condense  ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&  into droplets in the roof of the hall,  ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,&   and is then slowly carried down the    ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&   arches, where the drops melt together  ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,& ,  until they're  finally to  heavy to , ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&   cling. a few seconds in the air, then  ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,&  they hit the crystals that have invaded ,&,&&,&,&,

,&,&,&,&,&   dragon. they look like ice, but they   ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,& are not. dragon scales are made of nail  ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,&   tissue, and on the dragon that made    ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&    these, it is heavily infused with     ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,&  quartz. in the faint light of the cave, ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&        they shimmer pink and teal.       ,&,,&,&,&,

,&,&,&,&,&  scales, and as it lies in the middle of ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&   the hall it looks little more than a   ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,&    bump in the pile. when awake, when    ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&  soaring, it becomes a facet of the sky  ,&,,&,&,&,
,&,&,&,&,&  itself. but here and now it is asleep,  ,&,&&,&,&,
&&,&,&,&,&               and dreaming.              ,&,,&,&,&,
