White Dragon

The white dragon is the least of its kind, and the scholars who have said so said it from a distance. It is small, for a dragon. It has no speech worth the name, and no hoard but bones. It lives on the ice mountains at the end of the world and hunts there as a wolf hunts, by hunger and by smell, and it has never been known to spare anything for being clever.

Its blood in a mortal line shows as a silence. Such folk do not argue, and are not much moved by argument. They are patient in the cold and restless by a fire. They watch whatever moves in a room; and when in time the frost comes into their breath, their friends are less surprised than they expected to be.
