The Origins of the Conflict

While these two forces coexisted for millennia, harmony was disrupted when a great drought plagued the land. The scarcity of resources led to a desperate competition for survival. Leaves fought to retain water and maintain life, even at the expense of their neighboring flora. Scales, too, battled fiercely to secure prey and prevent starvation.

The Battleground of Nature

The battleground stretched across vast forests, dense jungles, and serene meadows. Here, Leaves and Scales collided in a never-ending struggle. Fierce battles were fought amidst the ancient trees, where the rhythm of life intermingled with the thunderous roars of combat.

With their chlorophyll-filled veins, Leaves stood tall, showcasing their magnificent shades of green. They fortified their positions, forming a protective canopy that denied sunlight from reaching the forest floor. The absence of light weakened smaller plants, leaving them vulnerable and helpless.

Scales, however, were not ones to be easily defeated. Ranging from the armored majesty of reptiles to the aerial elegance of birds, they utilized their natural abilities to infiltrate and conquer the upper echelons of the ecosystem. The clash of fangs, claws, and wings reverberated through the woods.

The Changing Tides of War

In their struggle, both Leaves and Scales needed to adapt over time. Leaves discovered ingenious ways to maximize sunlight capture, further choking their adversaries beneath their expanding canopies.

Scales, aware of the obstructing foliage, developed camouflage and enhanced hunting techniques. They honed their senses and strategic prowess, allowing them to overcome the challenges presented by the dominant plant life.

Meanwhile, the outcome of this ceaseless war directly impacted the delicate balance of the natural world. The overgrowth triggered ecological changes that forced other species to adapt or perish, creating a ripple effect throughout the food chain.

The Everlasting Dance

In the midst of the fierce conflict, something extraordinary emerged - a realization that the War of Leaves and Scales was an intrinsic dance between life and death, creation and destruction, growth and adaptation. It embodied the eternal cycle that oscillated between balance and chaos.

Nature's battleground showcased the constant ebb and flow of evolution. From the fallen leaves nourishing the soil to the victorious predators feeding on their conquered prey, it was a symphony of intertwined destinies.

Every battle fought among the Leaves and Scales held deeper significance, serving as a reminder of the delicate equilibrium that nature sought to maintain. The war's purpose was not to annihilate one another, but to foster a mutual understanding of the vital roles they played.

The Call for Balance

As human stewards of this world, we learn from the War of Leaves and Scales. It prompts us to appreciate the intricate interconnectedness of the natural realm. We must safeguard the delicate equilibrium, being mindful of our actions and their impact on the environment.

The epic conflict reminds us that nature embodies a complex web of relationships, where every creature holds a purpose, maintaining the balance that sustains life itself. It is a responsibility and privilege to ensure our actions align with this grand purpose.

So, let us delve beyond the veil of this unseen war and embrace a new understanding. Let us join hands with Leaves and Scales, becoming guardians of a world where harmony reigns, and nature's balance prevails.

A New World is Beginning... and it Starts with an Orphan.

Orphans never have easy lives, but they're especially brutal in the ashfall. Londinium, led by the Gear, is an industrial society where the poor and downtrodden are expected to take physical labor to keep the city in working order. It grinds children to nothing in its factories, forcing them to work hard for money just to pay for their board and food. Survival is a daily struggle, especially for grindery girls - orphans who grind coal into useable bricks.

Patty Rinkin is a rare grindery girl, for she has a last name. She prefers to be one of the crowd, but finds herself the leader after a horrific fire disables the lead girl, who's also her best friend. And one afternoon, Patty finds a dragon's egg among the dust and filth of the factory. But it seems the arrival of dragons is going to just make everything so much harder.

Patty doesn't realize she's been given a gift - a gift that could change the very system in which she is trapped. Will she become part of the Gear's plans to keep its citizens in mortal danger? Or will she learn the dragons can give everyone the opportunity to fight back against the Gear and all the suffering it causes?
