Indented Souls and Eternal Dreams
There weren’t always dragons in the valley; and there weren’t always these nightmares in my mind. Rip-roaring flame engulfing the orchard green city I once recognized from a previous life. Some would say it was a dream, some would say it was untrue. It was forever destined to remain that way. Blackening of each and every soul in a shade that was hidden from their view. Why can I only see it? Why will it take an eternity to fade? Heat cooling with the expansion of an infinite universe where my consciousness connects every galaxy like dots on a page.

The Trouble In Twisting Forest
"There weren't always dragons in the Valley." That's how Farnwick Fox began his speech. His voice was stern and strong as he stood before a large crowd on Knotty Knoll. "And," he continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, as the old saying goes, when they show up, you better ask yourself why!"

Abomination
“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley.” As Dearay was dragged across the Crest Church floor by her long, white hair, the words pounded inside her head. She didn’t know if they were to encourage her or damn her.

The Frozen Empire
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Those who lived in the Sunmarch thought they went extinct centuries ago, when the Snowfall covered the Empire. Others, more formally educated, believed the dragons abandoned their nesting grounds as the Meerandalese armies tried to expand beyond the enchanted winter. Either way, the Empire failed to outrun the curse and the dragons, like so many other creatures, disappeared. One more loss among many as the Snowfall ruthlessly blanketed each conquered nation brought under the Empire's mantle.

Immortal Dragon
There weren't always dragons in the valley of Kai, once home to a lineage of ancient gods thousands of years ago. It was a peaceful era, a golden age like no other. The gods, also known as advanced extra-terrestrial beings, lived in harmony and protected the sacred energy of the land with abilities that far surpass mere mortals, and yet, it is them that are responsible for the creation of mortal man. It is the gods whom thought of man, and man was created in their image and likeness, thus began the origin of mankind.

There weren't always dragons in the Valley, in the days before the great transition they lived in the hills on the far side of Everlyn. When the Northern Tribes broke the seal to the abandoned Fortress of the Magi, the dragons fled to the Valley.

A New Winter
“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley.” The old man closed his eyes while he spoke, and the children listened intently. This was the one night of the year when curfews were extended, when mothers and fathers allowed their children out after dark. But the night was winding to a close. And it always ended here, circled up around a fire, with the Telling.
