§§¨§§§§¨§§ ¨ until they're finally to  heavy  to  ¨ ¨§§¨§§¨§§§

¨¨¨¨§¨¨¨§¨ 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, §§§§¨¨§§¨§

§¨¨§§¨§¨¨¨   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,  §¨§¨§§¨¨§¨
