Glacier’s head follows the path the firefly takes.
“They are nice, don’t know how much protection I’d be able to provide. If I have a glowing bulb on my butt not only is it embarrassing, it’s full of disadvantages. Stealth would be impossible, a bulb that size would make movement slow, another...
“Oh, uh, force of habit?”
Glacier tried to sound convincing, only she wasn’t a great lier. She wiped what remained of the bug staring back up at Origin when she finished.
”What kind of threat would a bug that shines be? The best thing that I’ve seen them do is blink their light and get zapped by...
Glacier’s wings caught the wind to swoop low and glide her claw against the blades of grass. Twisting to come back around, she misjudged the speed the wind pushed her. She collided with the ground sliding and rolling onto her back, looking right up at Origin with a large smile.
It took a while...
Origin couldn’t find Glacier anywhere once she reached the top again.
all she felt was the strong wind and the sight of the slowly sinking sun.
“Hey! Good start.” Glacier suddenly appeared, walking towards the edge. “You forgot one thing. You need to let go.”
She faced her back to the tall drop...
“I’m not exactly saying you can’t.”
She say, mouth half full before swallowing. ”I could train you, learn from what I learn from Snapjaw.“
She stabbed the remaining salad leaves on her plate and ate them, then raised her glass to toast with Origin.
”here, here” She says in agreement.

She shouldnt…agh but the crushing curiosity pushed her. She scanned the words on the back. Sanctus and Merrimac? It looked like simpiler times without the war, the happiness on their faces she guessed this was before the discrimination against her kind. She shifted page after page to learn more...
Glacier listened to Origin reassesing the portrait. She wondered for Origin’s sake her parents were still alive. She remembers hearing about abandoned Nature dragon settlements, wether theyre Almost extinct she didn’t know. She rubbed her finger over the two eggs.
”I want to join the war, make...
Glacier followed the trail up to Origin’s home. Her shadow encompasses the wooden door raising her claw up in a fist to knock.
Why is she doing this? Is it because of what Snapjaw said about having friends? And her new friend being a Nature dragon, the encounter with routy villagers earlier...
To Origin, her question seemed to have missed Glacier as she just stared forward.
“I live at the barracks, you can’t miss it. Large, noisy with shouts and the clash of weapons, yeah, that’s my home.”
She stated as her own badge of honor.
The path they stood on rounded out of OceanSide and now...
Glacier bent her back bracing her hands until a loud crack sounded from her spine, sweet relief followed.
The dispersing crowd left some breathing room. While Origin attached plants to her roots stragglers glanced back to take a second look.
Glacier assisted Origin, akwardly scooping earth and...
