Sister of a Dragon
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. My sister wasn’t always a dragon either. In fact, ninety years ago, I did not believe dragons to exist at all. But I am old now, and wiser too, and I know that life is always surprising, and destiny can lead you places you never expected or dreamed of. My destiny led me here, to the Valley, with the dragons.

Evil
What is evil? Some people say that evil is a person’s selfish deeds. Others say that it’s something immoral or entirely wicked. People have even gone as far as saying that anything that wasn’t directly “good” is evil. I disagreed. I didn’t believe in good or evil. If the deed was necessary, then it wasn’t evil, because evil didn’t exist. At least, that’s what I believed.

The Renegade Saga
“There weren’t always dragons in the valley, laying waste to the fields and seizing all the wealth they could wrap their talons around,” the radical called out to the crowd of eager listeners gathered before him, a trace of desperate fervour in his voice. Dangerous words, Mae thought to herself as she strolled past the young agitator on her dapple grey steed, Nymph. Dangerous words.

Lee Jin In "Orange, Peeling"
The second-story man turned out to be… a woman, of substantial temerity and aptitude. Not only was she able to determine, in the darkness of a mid-October night in 1937, the exact fire escape, and floor, of the room she was intent upon infiltrating; she was able to sidestep the unwelcome attentions, both benign and hostile, of neighbors and cops alike. Until she was not.

The Map is Wrong
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. They have to be invited in, you see. And who in their right mind would ever want to invite Dragonkind into a prosperous, Human-Populated Land Since Time Immemorial? At least that's how Da always put it, I don't use words that big. But Da always talked about this being a human place, with human-sized stuff, and now we have to build all these things like twice as big for dragon size. Unless we like standing outside in the rain, and then what's the point?

Among the Living
Chapter One: Awakening the Beast “There weren't always dragons in the Valley.” The words echoed from the darkness, ragged and breathless. Elora's pulse quickened, and her grip tightened on the hilt of her Ghoststrike blade. She could barely make out the shape of the figure just beyond the dim light of the fire.
