The story of Thistledown Runedrake
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The drake follows the low stones while the rest of the field disappears into shadow. Each leap carries it to a point where the next patch of clear ground is visible. When the path narrows, it turns its head first and swings its tail through the bend.
Purple flecks catch the eye around the shoulders and flanks. The thinner fins lift above that pattern and break into smaller points toward the tail. Where the creature crosses lighter stone, its feet and body stand apart from the flowers behind it.
In the story, the drake has learned to move along this route without brushing the thorny stems. It runs low where the rocks are close together and takes higher steps where roots have shifted the path. The field opens beyond the last visible bend.
The side view makes the stride easy to follow from the head to the tail. Warm scales stay visible in the last light, while the cooler thistle tones join the dragon to the landscape it crosses.
