The dragon lay on a wide bench of stone in a cavern that was filled with natural pillars where stalagmites and stalactites had grown together and fused. The feathered serpent itself was the source of the glow I had seen—each of its feathers shone with an unearthly, bioluminescent light. The serpentine creature’s body was mostly green, but shaded into a brilliant turquoise closer to the tail and from there into a dull, fire-ember red. The tips of its wings, tail, and the crest of feathers that surrounded its head were a multitude of colors: red, yellow, royal blue, turquoise, and green.
