Of Prismatic dragons… from the Dawn of Magick

Typically, dragons were named for the color of their scales, but some were named for other traits. Thus, the prismatic dragons were so called because of the character of their wondrous scales. Just as the beasts had variability in their scales, they had multiple breath weapons. These included red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet rays. The tinted breaths produced differing effects. The prismatic dragon also possessed the power of the lightning bolt, the dark acid common to black dragons, and the icy cone of cold typical of the frost dragons that lived only on the highest peaks. Because the prismatic dragons had the power of lightning in their repertoire, lizard men fancied their scales and created javelins of lightning from he creatures’ prismatic scales. But were these merely javelins of lightning? No one knew. Not even the lizard men fully understood their greatest masterpieces.
The prismatic species of dragon had never been common on Sagain. They had allied steadfastly with the order of Light Sorcerers and followed the idea of preservation of Magick and the lands of Sagain. Many prismatic dragons had fallen in defense of their beliefs, including powerful Zia, Eyerthrin’s first love and the mother of Taekora.
Eyerthrin enjoyed Lena’s light touch, looked into her eyes, sighed, and said, “My love, in my travels I found no others of my ilk.”
Sadness dripped from his words and red and blue tears poured from his eyes as the great dragon confided to his new love.
