Ice is broken and hearts are on fire during a chance encounter between the fiery Phoenix an ice dragon prince among icy mountain peaks at the break of dawn.

I wanted to go for a Fire & Ice theme, with a dragon ('cos it's that year :)), I chose western versions of the creatures so I can "fire-up" the phoenix and "red-bull" the dragon, giving it wings that sort of mirror the phoenix's. And, I don't know if you noticed or not, their poses are meant to resemble a heart shape :).

Happy Valentine's Period all!
