There weren’t always dragons in the Valley.

Instead, the Valley used to be swimming with ghosts.

Spectres made this their abode, not even bothering to conceal themselves. If any tourists came by, few of them got back out.

But one day, a curious new creature wandered in, wide-eyed and adorable. It was a calf. A calf-shifter in beast form. He had brown and white fur and tiny horns, and his name was Ero.

Ero stumbled into the Valley on his four stubby legs. He was lost, but he was a wanderer by nature and not easily cowed — no pun intended.

The soil squelched as he made his way through, as it had rained earlier today. The sun was setting now. Its orange and lilac rays washed over the valley like a dream.

He knew that his parents would be worried and angry, because he had gotten “lost” again.
