The story of Opal Cinderstep Dragon
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
The highland stones collect warmth early, so the dragon keeps to them when it crosses the field. It places each foot on the flattest part of the rock and lets its tail follow the turns in the route. People heading to the ridge can recognize the crossing from the same sequence of stones, even after grass has grown over some of the gaps.
The cobalt horns give the face an outline that holds up against the distant ridge. The darker path beneath the dragon separates the pale feet from the rest of the landscape. Patches of orange lichen put small touches of warmth near the ground, where the eye can follow them across the stepping stones.
In a story, this dragon could be the reason local hikers know which part of the hillside dries first after rain. A scout might watch it take an unusual turn one morning and discover a new path opening through the rocks. Its steady stride suggests a creature that knows the terrain and trusts the route it has chosen.
