The Auran Dragons Take Flight
Artwork Copyright © 2007 by Cheryl Ceol

From The Expedition: 

Nathe Wodan, Theorist’s Apprentice

It is safe to say the dragons do not regain their strongholds by flight. Towers used by the creatures are easy to find. At their base and up their sides rise the marks of the beast. Claw-work scores the stones and goes up as far as we can see. We have heard them scuttling up in the dark.

The body beneath these wings defies description. To call it a dragon is altogether untrue, yet it has something of that sinewy grace. From what we can see, the body is segmented, like an insect’s. But where the common pattern is for the head of an insect to be a specialized segment, with false legs having the role of mouth parts, this predator has a blunt, battering ram for a skull, so smooth it seems devoid of eyes and ears. And no bug was ever so big, or tacked against the wind like a ship in a battle.

Its wings fill the air with thunder
