Out of the Valley
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. There wasn’t always a Valley for the dragons to live in. I stand before it now, warm mud on my hands, caked around my wrists. A bloody, wartorn field is split in two beneath my feet, the crack in the ground stretched out before me, widening and shaping as the Earth trembles and breaks herself open.

Hope and Hopeless
There weren't always dragons in the valley, but after the assassination of the queen and the proclamation made by the king declaring energy wielders an enemy to the throne, the valley was turned into a makeshift breeding ground for the dragons to aid in the battle against the insurgent energy wielders. Princess Emma surveyed the land from the mountain overlooking the valley. She found the dragons to be magnificent creatures and longed to have one of her own, but only the energy wielders under her father's control were permitted to own such creatures. Emma looked up at the sky. The light blue sky was beginning to darken, the edges of the horizon becoming tinged with colors of orange, gold, and magenta. She cursed and stumbled down the mountain. She had stayed out too late once again.

The Dragon Diaries
There weren’t always dragons in the valley, that’s what we say out at the edge of the world, where the desert sands meet a crystal blue sea. We are refugees, existing in a line of shacks on the shore with fabric awnings billowing in the wind. We tell everyone, there weren’t always dragons in the valley. People call us piteous in our attempt to cling to a human history which was wiped out by fire.

Deep in the Woods
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. But when it was breeding season the valley was where they went, and the valley was where they stayed until their hatchlings could fly - usually about a month after birth. For those 4 months out of the year everyone avoided the area. Today was different however because Eden had to enter the valley. Overnight her pregnant mare, Ivy, had run off. Eden worried she was going to give birth. This would be Ivy’s first foal and she did not want the mare to be alone for her first birth. Ivy had followed her tracks directly to one of the most traveled pathways that lead down to the valley lake. Realizing the odds of this search not ending well caused Eden to falter. But she knew turning back would only lead to heartbreak. She couldn’t leave sweet Ivy to the dragons, especially in her vulnerable state. They’d smell the blood from the birth and reign down immediately.

“There weren’t always dragons in the valley-” “Uuuuugh, please, spare me. I didn’t ask for a fairytale, much less that dusty old yawn.” Baryns mouth stretched slightly in the ethereal glow of my presence, as if to illustrate his complete boredom with an actual yawn. “I just want to know-”
