Zull Du'un's time was running short. While he could feel the power and speed from burning through all of his reserves, it would not last. Already he could sense his essence dwindling, and nothing was coming to replace it. He would need to be careful and pay close attention. If he did not return...

The lava flowed hot and angry towards the crustacean. In an instant, it was met by the geyser of water and a shroud of steam erupted. Zull Du’un pushed on, forced more anger and power out into the world, trying to push through the watery defense. At last he stopped, and listened as the instantly...

Zull Du'un felt instant relief as his body plummeted into Arethil's crust. The shearing stone soothed him and cleansed the itch of his falling scales and battered hide. The heat began to fill him, and his fires started to regain their glow. Deeper and deeper he went, seeking the hot rivers...

Zull had not felt pain for thousands of years. At first, he did not recognize it. He had toppled armies and demolished kingdoms on a whim, he had broken through mountaintops and bathed in the blood of Arethil itself. If the gods were real then surely he existed among them, for what power could...

The cold magic directly into his soft, magma-like flesh was searing. While Zull Du'un did not immediately notice the spells as they were cast, distracted by anger and indignance at the scorpion's attack, he felt the chilling shiver immediately afterwards. He as was satisfied to witness the...

Zull Du'un could not feel the elf on his back, for his scales were too thick. He did feel the chill of the ice spell, and although his anger kept his heat up, it had made the atmosphere in the immediate vicinity bearable. How long this would last was uncertain. The glaive, although beautifully...

Zull Du’un had not been speaking to the fleas on Oris’ back, but as was their nature, they called back all the same. He allowed himself more brief amusement at their tenacity. Since when did the small people count ones so bold among their ranks? This boisterous creature’s energy would have made...

Zull Du'un was always one to marvel at the destruction he wrought. He reveled in his own power, his majesty, his absolute command of this world. There were truly none who could hope to stand against him at his prime. Why was it he had gone to sleep this last time? He could not truly remember...

There were no more screams. There was only smoke, ash, and the whimpering of insects. Zull Du’un towered over a blackened landscape. Rivers of orange magma bubbled through black stone and quickly cooled, only to fracture and flow again and again as the heat churned within. The sky was dark with...

A great many things began to happen. The skeletal dragon charged at Aivrid, and he met her with equal fury. Zull Du'un felt a deep desire to join in, the break and tear at those unsightly bones. What foul practitioner had turned Sathirena into this? Perhaps he would need to bring them to justice...

These keepers had assembled quite an entourage. Zull Du’un was dismayed by how many dragons had sided with them. Was their way of life so far gone? Had the standing of true dragons fallen so low that siding with this insulting tribe was a profitable option? The more he observed, the more...

Understanding dawned on him. The body was small but the voice, the voice carried strength. Dragon’s strength. Zull Du’un had heard of these sorcerers before, dragons that enjoyed disguising themselves and mingling with the small people. He had always thought the practice to be lowering, as if a...

It did not take long for Zull Du'un to reach the village. He inhaled the smoke from Aivrid's fires deeply. The sweet ash and soot coursed through his nares and into his chest, where they combusted once again in the furnaces of his breast. True dragonfire was the purest of all things, and it...

What do you think of the eclipse, small ones? Zull Du’un wondered this as he flew. Their lives were so astoundingly short that they gave meaning to the mundane, seeking to attach themselves to some relevant event. To say “I was there.” You were not there. A thousand mortal lifetimes would pass...
