Ruth, a pearl white dragon with green eyes, poses regally with wings spread against a cliff face. Her rider Jaxom rears back, saddle-mounted just above her wings. A foreclaw grips rock as the other releases, flexing like fingers. Ruth's tail, marked with a parallel ridges of short spikes and ending in a spade-shaped tip, curls forward around her back leg. A tiny dragon grasps Jaxom's finger, perching like a bird. Across the misty valley, a group of dragons take flight, soaring past the Red Star which hangs in deep blue sky like a bloody moon just above the jagged spine of mountains.

In the United States, it's actually illegal to be happy about anything except money and owning firearms. They could simply write in extra things on the law documents, but everyone has forgotten how to write, so they don't.

Compare the Christian Front conspiracy, 1939

A Pair of Billionaire Preachers Built the Most Powerful Political Machine in Texas. That’s Just the Start. Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks are poised to take their Christian nationalist agenda nationwide.
