Luce di Drago
by Dusty Lynn Holloway Silvia Dalla Zanna“Suspance, romanticismo, amore, avventura, fantasia, è tutto lì. . . Ti attira e non ti lascia più andare”. Anonimo All’improvviso si ritrovò lontano dal mondo sommerso, in un luogo che esisteva soltanto nel fuoco. La pressione era squisita, le toglieva il respiro e la vita. Il magma eruttava da fontane ruggenti, ricadendole tutto attorno, toccando l’orlo del suo semplice vestito bianco e bruciandolo fino a ridurlo in cenere. Ben presto anche le scarpe che indossava bruciarono, lasciandola solo con la sua pelle pallida. Avanzò con decisione entrando nel più ampio dei fiumi di magma, attraversandolo fino a raggiungerne il centro. Il magma si sollevava proprio sotto di lei, salendo lentamente sulla sua pelle, come se una forza più grande di quella proveniente dal centro della terra lo attirasse. Continuò a salire fino a ricoprirla completamente, poi si raffreddò rapidamente, racchiudendola in una roccia nera e liscia. Non c’era più aria. Né pensiero. Né luce. Solo l’istinto. Una luce bianco dorata fuoriuscì dalla punta delle sue dita penetrando nel magma, rompendo la pietra nera, facendo brillare radiosamente quel fuoco ribollente. Si espanse velocemente attraverso il fiume nel qual si trovava, poi proseguì verso l’esterno, trasformando rapidamente l’intera rete di fiumi, rivoli, cascate e oceani di fuoco, fino a che tutto si accese di quella sua luce bianco dorata.

Mentre si avvicinano i giorni della battaglia finale, vecchie alleanze si ritrovano, nuove alleanze vengono rafforzate ed il loro mondo di mutevole luce e oscurità si apre alla speranza, mentre il numero dei Luminari e di quelli che seguono il Re Drago Cerralys si infittisce e si fa più forte. Poi all’improvviso accade l’impensabile, Auri scopre un segreto così grande da scuotere tutto il suo mondo. Tutto ciò che è. Prima che arrivi la fine, prima che
