#¨¨¨¨¨¨##¨ 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... ##########
