Cloudrider - a work in progress ...

She soars over the countryside - close, close and closer yet to the sun - up where the air is thin. Her wings spread wide and wider again. She grabs the wind with her muscular arms, the talons of her hands extending and retracting with pleasure. Her scales glisten, emerald when she was young a century ago, more indigo now that she is a young adult. Her mane's a multi-hued orange flag proclaiming her presence in the world. She is the Lady of the skies and she soars with delight - her flame long and full and vibrant.

She is dracaena - she-dragon - Cloudrider, who flies closer to the clouds than any of her kind. Not for knowledge - in the way of her people - but for the sheer joy of being there.
