A forest might seem pleasant and inviting in the daytime with sunlight cascading through the breaches of the canopy to form amber shafts of heaven. Perhaps the trees would shake ever so slightly in the wind, rattling their arbor amusement at Mother Nature’s kind breath. In the night however that same forest might appear unsettling, what with the crescent moon peaking through the branches that now leered over those who would travel their lands in the hours of the unwaking.

Why There Are No More Dragons In Holy Russia
Over the years, the dragon’s paper wings had crumpled and torn at the membranes, the skin fusing to itself like the waterlogged folds of a desecrated scroll.
