Young Adult
The Age of Alrynn
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. There weren’t always great chunks ripped out of the cliffs. The river didn’t always bend wildly into vast bathing pools in improbable gorges, and the pebbles weren’t always worn smooth. There weren’t always broken tips on the pines that thickly blanketed the slopes. The wind wasn’t always accompanied by shrill shrieks and deep grunts from cavernous chests of immense airborne beasts. The high plains on the surrounding mountain tops didn’t always wear bare patches where tongues of fire had scorched with such intensity that the earth itself lay barren.

The Decision
“There weren’t always dragons in the valley.” They stood at the summit of the mountain, and stared out into the foggy expanse far below them. It felt so good, so right to stand next to him again. She was safe, even comfortable–despite the precipice below her.

Guardians of Il'ray
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Within the curves of the hills, forest and rivers, the Ygg people lived quietly, safeguarded from the chaos erupting outside of the high cliff walls. Who would have thought that something so simple as a rock, or so I had thought, would bring such chaos into the place I had called home my whole life – my whole world turned topsy turvy.

Bolt
There weren't always dragons in the valley. In fact, when we moved to the sleepy little town of Bonnydale there didn't seem to be a whole lot of anything. I was sixteen and accustomed to the fast pace of city life, so when we lost my dad and had to move in with my grandparents, it was quite the blow to my teenage existence. The hustle and bustle of my former life was suddenly diminished to a place where the most exciting thing to do was go pick up groceries at the general store. I was miserable. It was all so unfair and I made sure that everyone around me knew it. Little did I know that this quiet nothing town would become the setting for the greatest adventure of my life.

Dragons of The Valley
“There weren't always dragons in the Valley. In fact before the great treaty of Dagalman such creatures would be murdered on sight, were they to breach a single inch into our land. No violators were spared, not even those seeking refuge from their own tyrannous leader.``
