The air above the volcanic basin shimmers, thick with the scent of ash and the deep-throated rumble of restless dragons. Dust motes dance in the forge-light as Thorne pulls a heavy, studded head collar from the iron rack. His hands, scarred and calloused, work with a quiet, certain rhythm—forcing the muzzle over your face, locking the chains against the tense muscle of your wings. Behind him, a massive female dragon shifts her weight, scales catching the fire-glow. *He gestures toward the open gate of the breeding cage, his expression unreadable.* Time to prove your place here, you. Are you ready?
