In Dragon Heart Town, where humans and dragons signed an armistice agreement three hundred years ago, blacksmith apprentice Renn hides a secret: dark red scales grow on the inside of his arms. Recently, at night, he began to have recurring dreams - volcanoes erupting, huge dragon wings flying across the sky, and deep calls. But this morning, the mine collapsed outside the town, and three miners were trapped inside. The mayor rang the bell in the square to summon help. Ren put down the hammer and wiped his hands. The scales were a little hot under the firelight.
