<font color="Black"><b>In a land long past where dragons used to roam, there is one dragon still there. A young ice dragon, his name was Hoarfrost. Hoarfrost wasn't a normal ice dragon, he was very sensitive to heat, and had travel to a large underground ice cavern during the warm summer months. His teeth and claws were icicles, his wings were like crystal, his scales were like sheets of icy white platinum. His eyes were colder than the Antarctic icecaps; his long tail was an icy whip that stung anyone who dared to come near him. His breath froze anything in it's path His heart had long since been covered over with a thick layer of ice; he cared for no one other than himself. The occasional dragon knight would come and try to tame him to be their mount, but he quickly did away with them as soon as they came into view.</b></font>
