Some kind of dragon au

[Before you lies a picturesque kingdom of forests and fields and farmlands. Mountains rise up in the distance, and set at the edge of a massive lake is an elegant castle with tall spires. It looks out over the land - forests surrounding the lake, a small but pleasant medieval town pushed up against the castle walls, farmer's fields further out.

The land itself is fertile and full of wild game, unsual plants, and natural wonders like crystalline caverns and waterfalls. Rivers of all sizes wind their way down from the mountains, which alternate between covered in fir trees and bare, jagged rock with mazes of caves hidden within.

Dragon AU go!]

[ It's all gorgeous--amazing, really. Compared to the high roost of his nest where there's scant little to see must cloud and cloud and the sharp spires of snowy mountain tops the land below is a lush haven of colour, light, and smells. Ven could hardly believe his eyes the first time he'd breached the thick veil of cloud and caught a glimpse of the land below. That had been as a hatchling, his wings wobbly and unused to holding him in the air for extended periods of time.

The goldscale was older now, still green but already feeling the drag and pull of wanderlust deep inside him. He's just about ready to leave the nest for good; most of his clutch already has. But then again he'd definitely been the runt of the group and even as an adolescent he's smaller than he ought to be at full wing span as he twirls and glides through the air, making great swoops that allow him to circle the ground below without the need to constantly beat his wings.

There's just so much down there he's not sure where to begin...until his eyes settle on a glittering vein of sun-glare and he changes course immediately to get a closer look. He's never seen a river before, not like this. The steady trickle of moisture inside of a cavern's much different than an open body of water. It looks like thousands upon thousands of diamonds...until he fans out his wings and crashes right down into it with a displeased squawk.

This is not diamonds, this is wet! And cold! ]
