#¨#¨¨#¨###   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.               ¨##¨#¨#¨¨¨
