A new forest had sprung up where the crystalline mountains had stood for time immemorial so far as many were concerned. It had been a dangerous place and even Immortal beasts avoided it.
Suddenly, someone had broken through at the very center and it was destroyed! The landscape was barren but then seemed to be replaced by the current forest.
At the heart of that forest was a newly made clearing and collapsed trees as an emerald dragon lay splayed out on the ground. It was alive and unharmed but clearly exhausted.
A young woman appeared with dark eyes and hair but she smiled wide as she flew to the dragon.
"Uncle!" Ilyria called out to him but he did not respond. She quickly checked and saw he was consolidating his foundation. The power coming off of him put any Shard Tier she had ever met to shame.
