CRIMSON AND THE BATTLE OF LONELY MOUNTAIN
Far, far away in the Kingdom of Nosmir, stood a very tall and rugged mountain peak,
known to all who lived in the area as Lonely Mountain. Near the very top of the mountain was
the entrance to the cave. If you happened to visit the cave at one of these unusual times, when
the sunbeams warmed and brightened the inside of the cave, you would behold a sight
wondrous to see. For no matter where your eye alit, you would see piles of sparkling rubies.
Small piles, big piles, piles on top of piles, there were piles everywhere.
And if, by chance, you decided to go deeper into the entrance of the cave, past the reach
of the cheerful sunlight and into the gloom, and if you had very good eyesight, like an owl or a
cat, you would seemingly find no end to the piles even as the cave’s interior got gloomier, darker
and spookier. But if you went even deeper, even without very good eyesight, you would not be
able to miss the colorful shape of a dozing dragon. His scales glowed a deep, bright red hue and
the spikes on his tail were a dark shade of indigo as blue as the midnight sky.
Atop Lonely Mountain in the cave there lived a colorful dragon named Crimson.
