Considering he had gotten quite a bit of work done he was even looking forward to sleeping in a little bit. However that unfortunately did not happen due to the strange occurrence happening within the lands of dorne right now. The sleeping dragon found himself tossing and turning within the four walls of his room. He normally did not have issues with sleeping and he could not understand why his body had woken itself up so early until he finally realized the temperature. The groggy male felt a violent shiver run down the base of his spine as he sat up. Normally he would have been greeted with the blazing heat of the sun, not freezing cold. What was going on?
A weary expression crossed his face as he finally found the energy to get out of bed and walk to his window. Blinking a few times to clear the sleep from his eyes he looked outside. At first he believed that he still had to have been asleep with an image as absurd as that. There was no way that it could snow in the desert. Raising his arm Vendaval proceeded to rub his orange eyes thoroughly before looking again. Sure enough, the image did not change. This thin ebony pupils widened in surprise as a soft gasp escaped him. Thin tendrils of warm breath spiraled up into the air before completely dissipating. That's how he knew it was really could outside, because he could see his breath indoors. Another shiver wracked his golden body as he turned to head out of his room and exit his stronghold.
Once he got outside he was greeted with the sight of a vast snowy expanse. Children were playing while other onlookers were standing around looking just as confused as he. Some were even beginning to panic. Something he was doing deep down inside, considering just how unnatural all of this was. He hoped that this might have happened before, but a large part of him highly doubted it. Either way, Vendaval was going to go seek out prince Oberyn. The older martell had lived within dorne much longer than he, so perhaps he knew what was going on. Spreading his wings he took flight in the direction of the sandship, surely the prince would be there. Several minutes had passed and he already felt as if he had been flying for hours. The seneschal knew that it was mostly due to the weather but it sure did beat walking the long distance.
Finally he landed upon the ground with a heavy thud. The higher elevation and cold winds had left him nearly frozen. At first he assumed that he would be able to tough it out, but he was wrong. He needed a warmer form to keep him good and toasty in this inclement weather. With a little bit of shapeshifting the dragon morphed into a large polar bear of the same golden hue of his scales. A pleasant sigh escaped him as he felt his body heat returning at a rapid pace. Now that he wasn't so cold anymore he continued his walk toward the sandship but paused when he saw both Rascal and Shiren. Vendaval trotted over to the two of them and dipped his head in a quick greeting. [color=#fff389]Hey are you guys alright? The bear murmured warily. (582 words)
