Soaring through the cool air of the western Serendipity provinces, Orphis heaved a great dragon sigh, emitting smoke from his nostrils. The fire in his belly filled him with a warmth that contrasted the chill in a most pleasant way. The magnificent creature caught sight of himself in a small lake beneath. Each of the uncountable number of pure-golden scales covering Orphis from head to toe scattered the gentle noon light beautifully, causing the dragon to roll through the skies with a certain pride to his movements and a glint in his eye.
For some strange reason, the dragon's very being felt pulled towards the mountains of the west rather than the rolling prairies of the east. Shrugging his massive shoulders, he allowed himself to float between the huge formations. In the cold, thin mountain air, even Orphis had to struggle to remain airborne. He flapped his wings down repeatedly, creating small gusts of wind in his wake, and began searching for a suitable place to rest his bulk.
A voice touched his mind, and Orphis recoiled on instinct. A moment later, however, his characteristic curiosity caused him to reach out himself and search for the unknown, unseen, unmistakably female creature that had sensed his presence and chosen to communicate. "Hello." he replied, landing atop a mountain with a large thump and twisting his head towards the sky. "Kindly reveal yourself, so I am aware of to what I speak."
