The Dragon's Den

There weren't always dragons in the valley. Yet, now that it was full, it was a breathtaking and heartbreaking view. Dragons of every color and variety were nestled in every crevice – stretched out under every shaded grove. They darted through the skies, flying across to the mountains that lined the valley or swirling down to bathe, drink, or fish in the large lake below. While hundreds of dragons were seen glittering under the high sun, seemingly content in their own business, none of them were aware of the figure watching them from a distance.
