Silver Dragon

In the villages under the high snows it is thought unlucky to turn away an old woman who asks a night's shelter, and the reason given is the silver dragons. They come down from the peaks in mortal shapes, more often than any other dragon, and live a season or a year among ordinary folk for the pleasure of it. Where there is real need they help, and are cheerful about it, and are gone before they can be thanked.

So silver blood is the least hidden of the dragon bloods. A family will say with some pride that the tall grandmother, who carried herself like a queen and never felt the cold, was not from these parts. Her grandchildren stand very straight. Winter is in their breath when they are grown.
