EN2318 - Zorostra

Zorostra

A cold winters moon shone from a starless sky. Upon the frozen wastes, nothing stirred not even the infamous ice trolls would walk such barren wastes. Yet, above the highest peaks of the frozen mountains a fearless cry rang out. Wisps of new snow, violently washed aside to two huge wings who's downdraught carved a cruel pattern in the snow below. Trails of white disappeared into the darkness which fell and danced apon the disturbed airstream. For this was the mighty dragon Zorostra and this was his home. A dragon well known to the minions of winter as the fearsome steed of one of Vrorst's Servant Rhazgor. The wizard had reared this beast with his own hand which made this dragon so loyal to his master and gave Rhazgor a respect and fear within many winter ranks. Zorostra, knew of his masters power and however much he respected his master and friend, he knew that Rhazgor would not forgive once crossed. The cold wind passed under his wings, his sleek, strange hide, decorated with vivid stripes of blue, carved through the mists with ease until resting momentarily upon a cold stoney peak. Twisted in stealth, wings outstretched, his teeth barred against blood red gums called out into the darkness, a signal, to his master of his impending arrival.
