The forest canopy swayed beneath a cold evening wind while Spice crouched on a thick pine branch, her striped tail dangling lazily below her. Tiny wings folded against her back shimmered dark purple beneath the fading light. Pine sap clung to her claws as she gathered ammunition beside her, a heap of rather heavy pinecones. Far below, Abaddon moved through the trees. The massive black creature glided silently between ...

He hated this. The smell was unbearable.The giant dragon crouched atop a canyon ridge, nostrils flaring as the evening wind carried the spicy sweetness through the desert. Below him stretched a forest of wild-grown cinnamon trees, twisted and red-barked, their branches swaying peacefully in the heat. His black scales rattled as he growled...

The little blue dragon dug her claws into the snow and leaned forward with all the strength she could gather. The leather harness creaked against her narrow chest as the sleigh behind her shifted barely an inch before settling stubbornly back into the drift. Her breath came out in shaky clouds. She tried again anyway. The bird-like dragon’s feathers bristled against the winter wind, dark blue plumage dusted white wi...

Boney Jones walked quietly through the forest, her floating lantern bobbing beside her like a patient firefly. The woods were dark enough to swallow the path whole, but the lantern’s warm gold light spilled across the ground in soft circles, revealing roots, stones, and patches of damp moss before her hooves reached them. The young dragon moved with an odd but graceful rhythm. Her four hooved legs carried her steadily through the undergrowth while the extr...

The winter morning was cold enough to turn every breath into pale clouds drifting through the air. Snow covered the fields in thick uneven layers, stretching across the farmland like a white blanket beneath the gray sky. Fence posts barely poked through the drifts, and the narrow roads between the fields had almost disappeared entirely overnight. Honeycomb snorted softly as she stamped one heavy foot into the snow. The bulky female dragoness stood harnessed to a...

Rain hammered steadily against the tall cabin windows while cold wind rattled the roof overhead. Outside, the world had dissolved into gray fog and whipping branches, the storm swallowing the distant cliffs entirely. Every so often thunder rolled across the canyon hard enough to make the wooden walls creak. Inside, however, the cabin was warm, comfortable, filled with such calmness that it could perhaps lull anyone inside into sleep. A kettle hissed softly above...

The fishing cabin was quiet except for the steady crackle of the wood stove and the soft tapping of rain against the windows. The air smelled faintly of pine, old cedar boards, and the lake drifting in through tiny gaps in the walls.Curled comfortably in the middle of the room sat Gimble. The long male dragon had wrapped most of his body into a loose coil near the fire, his pale scales glowing warmly in the orange lig...

Deep within the humid jungle, hidden beneath curtains of hanging vines and towering trees, an ancient stone temple rested quietly beside dark pools of water. Moss covered the cracked steps, roots curled through broken walls, and warm rain drifted softly through gaps in the canopy overhead. Upon the highest platform of the temple rested Amoxtli. The long female dragon lay cu...

Soel stood calmly in the center of the stone street, sunlight warming the vivid red and orange scales along his neck and chest. The bustle of the town carried on around him—distant conversations, creaking wagon wheels, footsteps against cobblestone—but the male dragon barely seemed to notice any of it. His attention rested entirely on the empty patch of ground before him. The thick green grass draped across his back shifted softly as he lowered his head and ...

The little dragon perched proudly on her hind legs, chest puffed out while thin trails of smoke curled from her nostrils. Her bright teal scales contrasted sharply against the deep red plating along her neck, limbs, and face, making her look almost too colorful to be real. Small spines lined her back and tail in neat rows, and the orange striping along her tail curved elegantly all the way to the tip. Most noticeable of all were her eyes. They gleamed with const...

Warm evening light poured through the small caravan window, painting the curved wooden ceiling in shades of gold and amber. The little room smelled faintly of cedar, dried flowers, and old blankets warmed by the afternoon sun. Outside, pine trees swayed gently in the breeze, but inside the cabin everything felt cozy and still. Aiko adored it here, it was home. The small dra...

The mesa rose from the desert like the broken remains of some ancient giant, its steep sandstone walls glowing deep red beneath the afternoon sun. Layers of rock stacked upon one another in bands of rust and orange, each line marking centuries carved slowly by wind and rain. From a distance, the flat summit looked calm and almost smooth, but closer inspection revealed jagged cliffs, cracked ledges, and narrow paths worn into the stone by time, lots of time. ...

Strength Trial Mist curled through the trees as Nyrieal picked his way along the earthy path, trying very hard not to trip over his own hooves. His long cream-colored mane clung to his neck perhaps with nervousness, perhaps not, and every strange sound made his ears twitch nervously. Somewhere ahead waited Prism, the dragon he had been assigned to meet for his trial....

The tide rolled lazily above the reef, silver sunlight bending through the water in wavering ribbons. Dingo moved beneath it with practiced silence, her paws brushing over coral-smoothed stone as she stalked through the shallows alone. The sea always seemed to sound louder when no one else was around. Clicks from distant crustaceans echoed through the reef, mingling with the sound of shifting current. Dingo liked those sounds. They reminded her that the ocean wa...

Javar stood in the middle of the unfinished hatchery with his arms crossed tightly over his chest while light drifted through the rafters above him. The building had once been an enormous storage barn on the edge of his property. Now the old structure had been stripped down to stone foundations and rebuilt into something far more useful. For dragons, specifically the breeders. The cheetah bestia slowly walked across the smooth floorboards, sharp claws clicking s...

Gabriel sat on a flat stone overlooking the valley while thunder rolled somewhere far above the clouds. Across the clearing, Licore crashed headfirst into another failed attempt at courtship. The medium  purple and black dragon landed crookedly in the mud after trying to perform what he had confidently described as “an impressive aerial spin.” Instead, he had clipped a pine tree with one wing. The tree won and Licore’s dignity shattered a bit more. Gabrie...

Muriel realized something had gone terribly wrong when the screaming started in the western stable. Not frightened screaming, excited screaming. The male incubus dropped the grooming brushes he had been organizing and sprinted across the polished stone aisle of the stable. His black wings snapped open behind him as another loud crash echoed through the building. “Oh no.” He rounded the corner and stopped dead. Fea...

Strength Trial She eyed him cautiously, noting the many, MANY spikes on his tail and his long sharp fangs. He was dangerous head to toe, that was for sure and she was primarily a lover, not a fighter. She hesitated to go near him for this trial, hesitated to even humor him but she had volunteered and backing out now might look bad for her and her rider. She had gone ...
