He ate happily after so many years of sleep. His silver scales shimmering in the sunlight. The waves lapped at the shoreline, pushing and pulling small rocks and sand. The slow rasping of sand and stone as the water receded and then rolled and tumbled as the waves returned. He swallowed and...

On the Isle of Sheketh, miles north of the Sheketh Stone, a great rumble shook the forested island. The birds of the trees for miles took flight as a gushing wind shook the trees of one of the islands mountains, as the forest filled with the smell of rain. The blue sky, spotted with clouds like...

Masaru blinked down at the giantling. Bold for something so young. "Is that your reckoning?" The dragon said as he leaned his snout down toward the small giant. "Perhaps during your next reckoning session you might reckon yourself some manners?" Masaru raised his head back and sat back on his...

The huge silver beast that was Masaru flapped his great wings as he launched himself skyward. His gleaming scales caught light from the sky like a mirror as he strove for the stars. His long equine neck stretched out straight. His snout pointed upward as he gained height. His wings sought and...

The smell of fresh rain rose from his huge form with the waves of steam that drifted off his scales. Early morning on the Isles of Sheketh were like this. He had not yet made a true den for himself and truth be told, he enjoyed the cool night air more than he remembered. A huge silver eye...

The great dragon passed across his lands, sapphire eyes gleamed with pleasure as he flew low over the tree tops. The smell of fresh rain flowed in his wake. His scent was the only thing he couldn't change when he altered his shape. Not that he would want it to change. His long tongue tasted the...

"What's left for ones such as we, Ash, but to bask in the new and live to be free?" -Masaru The great Dragon soared across the sky. Clouds like cotton moved beneath him like memories soft and visible but beyond his grasp. Something to be seen and never touched on again. His great wings beat now...

Masaru looked at the large dragon and then the empire's forces. Then, he looked at the dragon. And then he looked back at the empire's forces. Masaru beat his wings and ascended a few hundred feet higher. The song he heard was just getting better. He wondered if his Bard friend could hear...

Masaru could sense the wishes of the Elder dragon, feelings and urges washed through him that he knew could not have originated with himself. It was an odd sensation but he had felt similar, albeit lesser, forms of communication during his wide and many travels. "It is the year 370 by current...

Creoso.

Masaru nodded to his friend's word as he considered the centuries of items he had in his vault. There were ways. He could fill a ship and make trips. Perhaps he could be a benevolent dragon and hire a fleet and give them gainful employment. Gold was easy to acquire after all. But he truly needed...

"Fine but I want to be a dracolich or a shadow dragon." Masaru said as much to get him to stop talking as anything, "And if you die I get your hat." Masaru pushed off and began his ascent with every intention of taking them back toward Amol-Kalit. He had priorities beyond his curiosity, and...

Cold sapphire eyes watched as they moved in slow patrols around the makeshift village. Cteatures with large bulbous eyes, thick glistening skin, and wide mouths that almost split their lower faces in half. The webbed hands of the creatures held weapons of simple of form but well crafted. Masaru...

"If we don't die from," Masaru yelled back as he hurried out, "I'll carve a face on that rock with my own talons." He sheathed his sword as he made his way out of the moondial. The smell of fresh turned ground and dust filled the air. His blue eyed gaze followed the light of the still hanging...
