Emberion's body stretched easily eighty feet from nose to tail, his scales the color of molten rock that had cooled to dark red and black. Each breath sent small plumes of smoke rising from his nostrils, and even in sleep, his orange mana seeped from his body in visible waves.
Jack deactivated Thunder Mantle, the red lightning fading reluctantly. No point waking a sleeping dragon with unnecessary displays of power.
His eyes swept across the summit, taking in details beyond the massive creature. The peak was relatively flat, perhaps a hundred feet across, with cooled lava forming natural platforms and ridges. Steam vents dotted the area, releasing superheated air in irregular bursts.
And there, embedded in the volcanic rock near Emberion's resting place, glowed pieces of red stone.
Jack's attention sharpened. He activated Flawed Sight, focusing on the glowing material.
