It is rumored that long ago, Skinless stripped the flesh from their lean bodies of their own volition, as a message to the rest of dragonkind that they were invulnerable to pain, and could not be frightened by threat of violence. It has since become an inherent trait. Despite the horrifying appearance of the Skinless, rest assured that they are not in discomfort. The exposed nerve endings of muscular and connective tissues are far less sensitive. Their surface vessels release rivulets of fresh blood, which help to cleanse dirt and bacteria amassed in a typical day. This emission is constant and accumulates as a tacky, clotted substance which covers them like a protective layer. They will avoid water at all costs, as washing away the bloody coating will leave them vulnerable to native infections.

Singing Blood
Neither of Awakening's parents subscribes deeply to these legends. The nature of their origins being of very little importance to them in the day-to-day. Indeed her father, in particular, was blessed with his current existence by his queen and his devotion to her. These skinless dragons are the highest ranking children of the clan. That doesn't necessarily make their lives easier, as they are usually trained hard. Grabal takes great pride in his children, their number, and their strength.

Next Chapter Sin now ventures forth into the world. What will she find as she travels the Scarred Wasteland, and perhaps the other realms of Sornieth? Old artwork;
