Moonlight

I need some feedback. What do I need to change or fix?


He is a dragon the color of the moon, with wings and scales that shine like the and stars on a dark, cold night.He breaths glittering white fire so cold it burns. Moonlight is much different from the other dragons. He glows silver and breaths white fire, but the other dragons gleam red and gold and breath roaring orange and yellow flames. Moonlight was once ashamed of himself, rating himself lower than the valleys below the Mount of Dawn where he and the peaceful dragons lived in the wide regions of Dragons' Keep. He tried everything to change himself. He went to the most powerful sorcerers, witches, wizards and gypsies. He cast spells over himself and drank dozens of potions, but none prevailed. He gave up and hid himself away in a deep cave awaiting the day he would be able to make a difference.

That day came. Dragons from the valleys below and from the darkest regions of Dragons' Keep came from every direction, surrounding the Mount of Dawn. These dragons were terrible, black as the deepest cave or the darkest night. Their fire wasn't fire at all, but sticky hot black tar that trapped and burned anything it came in contact with. At least a hundred had gathered around the topmost peak of the Mount. They hovered and then all at once attacked everything, breathing tar over anything they saw.

Moonlight was still in his deep cave, watching the Mount being polluted. It was terrible seeing every dragon that fought back being burned down by the smoking tar. He couldn't take it any longer. Just sitting there perched safely away while his fellow dragons were perishing was wrong and he took flight, spreading his wings for the first time in six moons glowing and glittering brighter than ever before. He felt an exhilarating thrill of relief and excitement until a black dragon caught his eye and pursued him, but Moonlight was ready.

He breathed his ice hot fire
. The fire immersed the dragon and it started to transform. As it screeched and wrenched in pain and agony the white fire wrapped the dragon in a glittering cocoon. The cocoon hovered for only a few seconds before it burst open with a flash of white light and a magnificent sky blue dragon emerged, breathing white and blue fire. She was beautiful. Moonlight stared in awe and then remembered the battle between gold and black surrounding him. Moonlight and the blue dragon began to engage themselves in the war.

Her fire was not effecting the black dragons as his was. She could only keep the gold dragons safe for a few minutes, but that didn't matter. Moonlight was soaring through the air breathing his splashing white fire and wrapping every black dragon he could in a white cocoon
. Pretty soon the Mount of Dawn was no longer surrounded by black pollution, but a brilliant variety of color beyond what any rainbow could produce. Violet dragons with silver fire, green dragons with blue fire, yellow dragons with red fire, lime green with orange, but none as beautiful as Moonlight; silver as the moon with his radiant ice-hot fire.

He flew up higher than he ever had into the clouds along with his fellow dragons, roaring in triumph and happiness. With his back the to the full moon he spread his wings wide and let out a thundering roar louder than any dragon had ever heard. Moonlight had finally found his place beside his fellow dragons and never hid himself away again.
