Crux Academy | OPEN

Among the many sights to see around the Academy is the large grouping of rocks off to one side in the courtyard. Largely out of the way true, but still enough to oddly stand out in the otherwise tidy campus. Day in and day out they just sit there without a sign of changing. At least until one day.

One morning just as the day is getting underway, the sunlight hits the odd formation and it moves. Great big boulders lift up on their own accord and blank, grey stone gives way to rust-colored scales and a pair of truly impressive wings spread out as the old dragon stretches out and yawns, large teeth glinting in the morning sun.

With his morning stretch done, the beast settles down and looks around to blink at the bustle of a new school year already well under way.

"Oh, dear." He muttered, deep voice rumbling away. "I've slept in again."

These naps of his just kept getting longer with age. Or perhaps the time between school years was just shrinking.
