The story of Silk Ice
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The dragon crouches on a shelf of snow beside a frozen waterfall. Its antlers branch upward like clear ice, and the ridges along its neck pick up a pale violet glow. Patterned wings rise from the back in a shape closer to a moth's wings than a bird's. The long tail turns toward the foreground.
In local stories, the dragon visits the waterfall when the first spring water begins to run behind the ice. It rests on the ledge and listens to the pressure build. A bright star of reflected light near the falls is how climbers recognize the ledge from a distance. When the dragon moves farther up the slope, the path below the frozen curtain is about to become a stream again.
The rock faces stay dark around the creature, leaving its wings and the columns of ice to carry most of the light. Curves in the wing markings echo the arcs of the tail. The lavender tones vary from deep purple in the folds to almost white at the outer edges.
A mountain tale could bring a guide to this basin to find a route home after a thaw. The guide might know the icefall by sight and still have to follow the dragon's footprints to reach firmer ground.
