The Northern Glaciers, Realm of the White Dragon Albiria

Over the past two years, the region had seen little change. Unlike many other races, dragons perceived time on a much grander scale, knowing they would grow stronger over the years without the need for deliberate efforts to increase their power.

The fact that her offspring had already reached the strength to hunt and feed themselves had eradicated the last remnants of maternal instincts within her.
