Ember Seed
A single spark, lodged inside obsidian. The dragon's first heartbeat hums beneath the rock, waiting for the wind that names it.

A fire dragon protocol. Ember and scale. Coil the flame, breathe the line, ascend the cipher.
A single spark, lodged inside obsidian. The dragon's first heartbeat hums beneath the rock, waiting for the wind that names it.
Scales gather like rivers folding. The body learns its own length, each segment a measure of patient flame.
Breath becomes language. The dragon speaks in heat and cinder, and the clouds rearrange to listen.
Ascension is not flight, but recognition. The crown is a circle of embers that the dragon has earned by burning truthfully.
Tap a scale. The flame beneath it will surface and remember your touch.
The egg cools. The dragon listens to mountains.
A friction begins between scale and idea.
The body learns to keep its own heat.
Air becomes voice. Voice becomes weather.
Not wings of feather — wings of pressure and want.
The dragon writes its first sentence in vapor.
A name arrives from the dark and asks for a body.
Embers braid themselves into a circle of office.
The dragon is no longer the dragon. It is the sky now.
