The Raid
In play27 seconds
A grown Fire Wyvern comes up the vent and finds the Bell Towns. They ring the Toll, and inside its ring a dragon cannot hold its fire. So the bell burns first, and then what it guarded.




Climbs on its wing knuckles, so it perches where nothing can follow and comes down the way a stone does. One compact bolt rather than a gout -- a sustained gout in a chimney cooks the animal that made it.
Growth
It grows through four stages, fed and irreversible. A hatchling is not a smaller cute version; it is the adult’s anatomy at a hatchling’s size.
| stage | height | of adult height |
|---|---|---|
| hatchling | 0.35 m | 19% |
| juvenile | 0.76 m | 42% |
| subadult | 1.30 m | 72% |
| adult | 1.80 m | 100% |

One wyvern, from 0.35 m beside its shell to 1.8 m at the vent mouth: what it eats, how it grows, its first bolt, the way out, and what it does with the daylight.

From open sky back to the square: the wyvern comes down among the burning Bell Towns and folds its wings.

A grown Fire Wyvern leaves the vent and comes in over the pines. The Bell Towns see it at ninety metres, and the notice goes up before the bell does.

The same morning through the player's own camera, with the interface showing: take wing, spit a bolt, and watch fire walk to what stands next to it.

The wyvern does not breathe a gout. It spits. What one bolt does to a bell tower, and what the fire does after that.
