We both continued toward the glowing mountain, which I found absolutely wondrous to behold. "Is there any way to get inside the mountain, Thorn?" I asked.

He pondered this question momentarily, and smiled. "I know where it is, Drake!" he replied. "There is a powerful network of sodalite mineral inside the mountain that we call 'the Source'. But there is a special network of tunnels, called 'The Path', that may help us reach it in only a few hours, for the normal journey would take days, or even weeks!! And I know of someone who can help us! He is the Ancient One, Drago, who built the Source for all of us to live within. We did so happily for thousands of years, and he would be more than happy to welcome you to a new world!!"

Thorn then spread his wings, and took off, soaring steadily skyward. We flew steadily on toward a faint glow on the horizon, which my friend explained was the 'network' of sodalite mineral that fed off of geothermal energy, which in turn kept the mountain a suitable environment to live within.

Thorn seemed to be reading my mind, by noting my expression. As we exchanged glances, my friend smiled. "This, Drake, is Fell-Dagr, 'The Mountain of the Dawn'!"

"It is...!!" I was so spellbound by the mountain's beauty that I was at a loss for words, but my friend smiled.

"I know, Drake!" Thorn replied with a smile. "It's absolutely amazing!!"

As we travelled toward the mountain, I couldn't help but think of Erebor, otherwise known as the Lonely Mountain, one of Middle-earth's last dwarf kingdoms.

'But this is OUR mountain!' I thought to myself, smiling. 'This is our home, where we can live and thrive in peace, for all time!'
