La mort nous guette et elle est toujours assuree de sa prise. Il ne sert a rien d'y songer sans cesse, mais, dans nos entrailles dans nos os, nous savons tous qu'elle est la. Tous sauf les humains.

Dragons that, like butterflies, have two stages to their lives. They hatch from eggs into sea serpents. They roam the seas, growing to a vast size. And when the time is right, when enough years have passed that they have attained dragon size, they migrate back to the home of their ancestors. The adult dragons would welcome them and escort them up the rivers. There, they spin their cocoons of sand - sand that is ground memory-stone - and the..

Something killed them. Long ago. I don't know exactly what. Some great cataclysm of the earth, that buried whole cities in a matter of days. It sank the coast, drowning harbour towns, and changed the courses of rivers. It wiped out the dragons, and I think it killed the Elderlings as well.
