Queen of the Dragon Realm The 'Warm Springs', reserved exclusively for my bath in the Dragon Realm failed to provide any comfort tonight. Even though every cell of mine should have relaxed due to the warmth and the healing abilities of the spring water, my muscles remained tensed and my dragon restless. My looks had always mattered to me and tonight, before the bath, as I stared into the mirror I discovered my clear forehead covered with grey lines as if someone had purposely drawn them there. A few minutes ago,was the most harrowing experience in my life when my ears, nose and eyes emitted smoke. My head seemed to have burst and half my face too had been obscured by a smoky grey curtain that seemed to have tightly attached itself to my skin. I looked hideous then and had muffled a cry.
