Emberflame Ridge Clashing Dragons

After making her way across a snow-dusted plain, Tohka turned southwest towards the mountains and entered a forest near the foot of those mountains. Through the treetops, she could still the dark, ominous storm-clouds that seemed to swirl around one of the taller mountain peaks to the west. She occasionally witnessed a blaze of lightning that arced between clouds or from the clouds to the ground. She felt that she was at a safe distance to admire the brilliant flashes of light that danced around the mountain, so she continued walking uphill among the trees.

The display of electricity reminded her of Taranau, the thunder dragon, the giant yellow lizard who was known to hide in the dark clouds and shoot bolts of lightning from her nostrils to smite the ground or water below. As she walked among the trees, uncharacteristically calm and quiet, she began to notice scorch marks on some of the trees, and she soon encountered a small patch of trees that had been charred, and she believed all of the damage to have been caused by lightning. Perhaps Taranau had been lashing out at some mischievous gremlins, or maybe she was just tormenting pixies. She could think of one other possibility, the one that scared her the most, and that was a scuffle between Taranau, the thunder dragon, and Taijo, the wood dragon. She did not wish to be caught between them. Her tail stiffened, and the fur along her back bristled slightly as she examined the charred remains of a tree.
