&&¨¨&&¨¨¨& 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 ¨&¨¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨&&&&¨¨&& ¨ ¨ the stone floor. ¨ ¨ ¨&&¨¨&&&¨&
&¨&¨¨¨&¨&¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ &&¨&¨&¨¨&&
¨&&&¨¨&&&& the crystals are scales, from the ¨¨&&&&&¨&¨
¨&¨¨&¨&¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨&&&&&¨¨¨
&&&&¨¨¨&¨¨ ¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨
&¨¨¨&¨¨&&¨ the dragon is translucent like the &¨&&¨¨¨&&¨
&&¨¨&&¨&¨& 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. &¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨
¨&&&¨&¨&&& &&¨&¨&¨¨¨¨
¨&¨¨&&&&¨¨ it is dreaming about you... &¨&&&&&¨¨¨
