The story of Sugarcliff Windstep Drake
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
Turquoise scales stand against the warm cream of the cliff. Ochre horns echo the color of the rock, and the pale underside keeps the profile easy to follow. Broad toes settle on the shelf as the body stays close to the stone. The split tail carries the direction of the wind into the open side of the composition.
In the drake’s story, the flat ground at the top of the plateau offers little cover during a strong gust. The drake makes its way along the lower ledges, where the face of the cliff breaks the wind. It stops at shallow pockets that collect warmth when the sun reaches them.
A traveler spots the drake step across a break in the visible shelf and disappear around a curve. The next morning the traveler returns and finds an old line of footholds hidden by the angle of the cliff. Following those marks could reveal a passage that was once used by people as well as by the drake.
The illustration emphasizes footing and balance. Sandstone bands make the ledge easy to read and keep the focus on the creature’s measured step.
