##@#¤**~.¨ into droplets in the roof of the hall, ¨.~**¤#@##
#@#¤**~.¨¨ and is then slowly carried down the ¨¨.~**¤#@#

##@#¤**~.¨ 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... ¨.~**¤#@##
