Enlightener of the Darkness
- Enlightener of the Darkness
In Chinese myth we are told that this dragon produces light by opening his eyes and causes darkness by shutting them. His serpent-like body is a thousand miles long and of a filthy colour. He never rests and his breath causes wind and cold weather. He can assume nine colours and his breath descends as a rain of water or fire. Gold is the congealed breath of white dragons, crystal the spittle of purple dragons, and glass solidified dragon breath.
