,~~†%@#### into droplets in the roof of the hall, ####@%†~~,

,~~†%@#### 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. ####@%†~~,
,~~†%@#### ####@%†~~,
