Displays, Courtships, and Bondings

Explosions echoed around the area, the obsidian ground lit up as the colors of the Sparknest's eruptions colored the area. Phantom paused, his gaze upwards to the starlit sky he could see through the colours. Where was she? While this was not the first time he'd courted her, and she him, her unpredictability always kept him on edge, though he knew she liked to make an entrance. A flicker of movement near the red sparks had him moving quicker, his sleek body blending in seamlessly with the obs...

Soft birdsong lilted between the trees, through the thick foliage to the small forest pool in which Mavis rested. The large dragon was enjoying her chance to merely relax and ensure she looked as suitably stunning as always, but the cadence of this music and its melody felt unusual. Had she ever heard a song like this before? She’d hardly thought the birds worth sparing a single thought to before, but this song might actually be beautiful. It was suitable for a d...

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...
