    Chapter 1: The Restless DragonThundertail was a magnificent dragon, known throughout the land for his striking appearance. His silver scales shimmered in the sunlight, and his tail crackled with the sound of thunder whenever he moved. He had lived atop a high mountain peak for over three hundred years, overlooking a vast forest that teemed with life. Thundertail had amassed a vast hoard of treasure over the years, filling his cavern with gold, jewels, and other riches.But lately, Thundertail had been feeling restless and lost.

It occurs to me that they might be implants.I remember when she went head over handlebars off her bike and chipped a front tooth. I was ten and she was eight.
