Pensive remembrance
The din of the bustling tavern could be heard well before it came into view, the cacophony of noises blended into quiet roar of activity. Kÿara glanced over at her companions as they approached; Kiira, to her left standing nearly a head taller than she, wore his nearly ever-present smile and appeared ready to find a place to put up his feet. The mountainous Aklor to her right, exhaling frosty plumes of breath nearly as big as she, made even Kiira seem scrawny. The door of the inn swung open as the tavern’s peacekeeper tossed a patron who had clearly been in a scuffle out into the street, then another unconscious body out atop the first, scowling as he turned to resume his post. The notes of a bawdy tune rose briefly above the rest of the commotion, a surprisingly melodic voice accompanied by a slightly less well-tuned lyre reaching them before disappearing once more beneath the tumult.

The Mother
Why doesn't she flame? Why doesn't she take back her baby and burn me to a crisp, and the whole forest with me? Her enormous black snout inched through the circle, from her world to ours. Her long neck snaked behind it. The obsidian bulk of her beyond that blocked any view I might have had of the world where dragons live.
