      CLINKLE                      
                     CLINK 
                      
       CLIRR       
                
                          
                                 
                                     
                                        
   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...
