In the army pavilions on the yellow river's bank, the red dragons were singing a song of war, loud and sonorous, of mountains and ten thousand miles unrolling beneath them. Her father's heavy leather coat weighed upon her shoulders, and the wide belt with its straps round her arms and thighs rubbed with every stride. Her hands were sweaty around the long shaft of her war sword. Surely they would see through her at once. The official with his scrolls heaped around him never looked up, "Your name?" "My father is Hua Hu," Mulan said. "Report to the third pavillion." --- What a wonderful feeling it is to be back in this world once more, to read about the different stories and hear the different voices of my favorite dragons. I have definitely missed this world. Golden Age and Other Stories contains all kinds of stories, and re-imaginations of this world - from the short drabble about Mulan to the meatier story of Dragons and Decorum - the story that answers the question of what it would be like to mix dragons with Pride and Prejudice. It's fun and sweet, and there are stories that answers questions I didn't think I would have, but am glad are now answered. It definitely makes me want to re-read the original series from the beginning once more.
