Displays, Courtships, and Bondings

At the base of Juatasapi was lush greenery, plentiful coniferous trees, their bushy branches and thin trunks currently covered in migrating monarch butterflies. Beneath the rich green plant and orange-wing canopy, two dragons met in the thick of the woods. Arenig and Keshet were drawn to one another. They were a study in contrasts: Arenig’s bulky form and dull colors next to Keshet’s riotous rainbow splashed over a lithe form. Their attitudes were much the same. As she tried to ril...

It was morning when the two high ranking men had decided they would set a wedding date for the political side of things in the next month; They knew that the public would want a ceremony, and it was a good time to show their faces and remind them all what power the two old family names -combined- could do. Old Abrendese, and old T'terre names, and fortunes. Not that Alexander had much old money to begin with, being a bastard son, but that was where the benefit of military pensions and ...

The moon was wide and full as Magnus and Alexander sat below its glow, and watched their research group toil and sample the magical grounds at the foot of the wide mountainous volcano above, its peaks seeming from this distance to pierce the night sky with pitch darkness that blocked out the stars a little along the horizon, before they twinkled back to life in a jagged line, outlining it.   Magnus had been writing an inventory script when Alexander had offered him to...

Not long after the sun had set, and the warm glow of the summer had faded from the air to leave a pleasantly chilled evening purple hue, with what light was left in the world Ferdinand and Nicolo ventured into the pine forest. Their dragons trailing behind them.   It was a well trodden path by now, one the Juno and Stardrop new well. Only Juno charged ahead though, with Tulio hesitantly bringing up the rear. Since the two had met, their relationship had been something...

Ferdinand hadn't known what to do when he returned back to the barracks with his new... friend. In tow.      Fiend, as he'd decided to keep the name, was so big he had to stay in the woods nearby rather then in the place itself. Between him, Star (another new dragon that they had found in the woods), Tulio and Juno, Ferdi had gone from no dragons to drowning in them it felt like. It was crazy. This whole situation was crazy. But the new dragon had managed...

Strength - Wordcount 910 The heat was oppressive; the air heavy with humidity and the smell of damp earth and grass. Last night’s heavy rain had provided relief at the height of the dry season for the animals that lived in the savanna, but for the gathered dragons, it was one more obstacle to overcome. Even Arenig, arguably the most well-equipped due to his fiery nature, smooth scales, the ice that lay in heavy plates down his back, and the clouds that shrouded him, found th...

Strength Trial - 781 The moon hung above the shattered coliseum, stars glittering in the dark sky, and while it had been sued fairly recently but other dragons, it seemed as if magic ran through it, keeping the ruined coliseum in a singular state… ready to be used once more as the stage a dragons set of displays. Goddess of Gods stood in the shallow waters within the coliseums arena, each head staring at their 'companion', the other ...

Belthir ducked as something came charging towards him, small and fast it crashed head first into one of the trees nearby, leaves scattering as a tail wriggled punctuated by excited cheeps and growls. His feathered crest raised as he blinked up unto the green canopy, the star lit sky hidden at present beyond the trees that lay beside Juatasapi; trapped amidst these branches, a small dragon thrashed, flickers of flame scattering, though they faded out before setting anything alight.  He reared...
