     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...
