Fable

The Balmy Berry
There was once a small silver dragon who wandered mountain landscapes alone. She stood only as tall as a large coniferous tree, and was not apt to take flight into the skies. There were tales of the little dragon throughout the many breeds of creatures, who all had at least two or three members who claimed to have seen the little dragon with their own eyes. The dragon became somewhat of a myth, although her reality was anything but.

He continued on to say , “ good well you 3 go ahead and pick your weapons then . Each magical weapon here is elemental or gives you an edge in battle . They all have different usage rates depending on the weapon and there are two different charge types . I'm sure Rose is as at least acquainted with the basics of enchantment magic .

Weapons that are enchanted using light magic can be charged with sunlight . Weapons made with dark magic can only be charged during moonlight . Early waxing phase is enough light to charge dark enchanted weapons . Late waning phase is as well . Enchanted weapons can not be charged during their use .

The Smith
Sweat sprayed from the young man’s well-muscled ebony shoulders with each hammer blow, mirroring the sparks cascading from the singing steel he grasped tightly with his forge tongs. Penub wiped his brow, leaving a trail of soot in the wake of his hand. He blinked away the sting of perspiration from his eyes as he placed the steel back into the forge. Once the metal was restored to a white-hot glow, that could even be seen on a bright sunny day like this one, Penub resumed his hammering. The steel obeyed each hammer stroke and soon Penub lost himself in the repetitiveness of his work. When he could get in these grooves, he would become unflappable, and time often slipped away from Penub. Last time this happened an entire day was lost to him as he hammered out fourteen horseshoes, twelve swords and a year’s stock of carpenter’s nails before he snapped out of it. That time the entire day was lost to him. If someone had stopped by the forge to talk with him, he wouldn’t have known or at very least had no recollection of them doing so.

You Are No Dragon
"What is your name, child?" asked the dragon, smoke swirling within her nostrils and fire burning in her belly. "Iduna," said the small child, round and supple from a diet of milk and honey. She smiled as she bit into an apple with her fresh, white teeth, leaving tiny bites in the golden skin of her favorite fruit.

The Boy, The Beetle, The Burning (Chapter 1, Draft 1)
Ancient bones hold strong, despite the pains brought by dropping barometric pressure. It was a cool day, which he did not like. He had just eaten and needed the heat to help his digestion. Mist kissed his keeled, mottled scales and wove through the woods. Something was in the air. Something else.
