Cryptic Imperium. Top Story - June 2022.
There weren’t always Dragons in the Valley. Rain began to patter stone. Dismal rock at the top of the world stretched from mountain shrubs to a precipitous drop. Ebony waters lapped placidly leagues below. The day’s last sunlight clung to the gulf’s horizon, blotted out by thickly laid, cinder grey clouds. Lucid lightning reflected off the brackish abyss; thunder growled and bellowed in the distance. The storm had come. The somber and subdued scene was beginning to be washed away by a gelid rain, like lasting consciousness dissolving a nightmare.

DejaVu- The Indestructible
There weren't always dragons in the valley. The valley that snaked solitary on the planet of Venus, from where most water that once existed had evaporated. Planets are orbiting celestial bodies that exist in the solar system of Earth, where human beings still tend to live. Venus is the second such planet from the Sun; it being the centre of the solar system. Venus was a barren planet for many millennia and inhabitable. Searing hot, dragons found this temperature pleasing and captured Venus’ solitary valley which still had some residual water. Where these dragons came from is still a mystery. Their origin is still a matter of debate.

Dragon's of the Veil
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. If you could call the scorched earth between the lone warrior, and the Black Fortress, a Valley. The once rolling hills with lush green grass and rainbows of wildflowers were now nothing more than a barren wasteland of soot and ash.

The Diary Of La Marteau the 5th
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. In some small way it was better. We stopped battling each other for water and started fighting the dragons for water. It was nice being united as one people after what seemed like an eternity of conflict. That was until there weren’t enough of us left to be called one people.

The Amber-eyed Horseman
‘There weren’t always dragons in the valley’, Alby scoffed, whilst eating a dry & flaky bread roll. I pondered on the statement, ‘dragons?’, I asked. My heart rate, slightly elevated, fluttered on the thought.

Scales of Flame and Shadow
There weren’t always dragons in the valley, I thought as Ayana and I stepped away from our conversation at the tavern. But those men seemed to know a lot about them … thank the Skies that they didn’t recognize me, or they’d grill me with more questions than I could imagine.

The Shattered Shield, Chapter 1: The Boy from Faywick
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Indeed, there hadn’t been dragons this far west of Dragonhearth since the Elder King’s Peregrination, some twenty-odd years ago. But today, for one day only, dragons would be here in Faywick, a small village tucked away in the Coldspring Valley, and Braeme Gnash did not intend to miss them.

Chapter 1: Red Ancient
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. They arrived 12 years ago, around the same time people started losing their ability to use magic. That’s why everyone hates them. They blame them; claim they sucked the magic out of the land and the water and the air… and the people. A bunch of political lies if you ask me.

Hal the Helpful
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. Only two sun-turns ago, it had been peaceful, and dragon-free: a fertile land where crops and livestock flourished, and the people prospered. But when The Great Terraquake split the ground, releasing a beam of intense, magical light, the dragons began to congregate in the Valley, flocking to it like moths to a flame.
