   #writever Altitude

   Dragons can fly as long as they want at high altitude with no fear of frost : with their flame, they heat up the air ahead of them before they cross it. It is easy to do, once you master circular breathing.

     Hmm, you need to read up on avian physiology. Birds and most likely dinosaurs have circular breathing in a way that mammals can only vaguely approximate.

     @Steveg58 ... and, following your advice, I did read up, and oh my! Birds *do* use circular breathing for temperature control!

     #writever Shimmer

     Krek the Swift tenses as he realizes what spell Elena the Curious is casting. As he watches the first shimmer, he braces himself, body and mind focused on the one important thing when facing a Disko ball: staying alive.

     #writever Granite

     "Well," said the Princess, "the idea of replacing metal armor with thick granite armor was not bad in itself, as it did protect you well from Dragon fire, but sorry, sir Knight, I canot help you back up."
