¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§ ¨  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, §¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§        they shimmer pink and teal.       §¨§¨§¨¨§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§  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.               §¨§¨§¨¨§¨§
