			Thread started: Jan 24 2010, 5:40 PM EST Watch As One ------- Shadows slip over the land in silent waves amidst a darkening world. Beneath stars turning on one by one, like black silver he moves across the skies. Earth turns beneath his flight. Down below, a Child of the Earth waits, reaching through the great unseen, anchoring her soul to his. Glittering stars nestle into the bed of night, over the shadowed form of a dragon's never-ending soar into the heavens, Child of Earth on his back. Jewels shine in his eyes, stars which kept him company even as he searched the world for her. . . never turning back. . . Now they fly as one. Do you find this valuable? Post reply

			Thread started: Jan 24 2010, 5:35 PM EST Watch However, he is not renowned for his love of manual work, preferring intellectual activity by far. That is why he does not devote himself to creating jewels, but only to "acquiring them" from human beings through various methods. Robbery, looting, trade, barter, fraud - by any means fair or foul which enables him to come by the jewels and precious stones he covets. The dragon feels he never has enough jewels and he finds it difficult to part voluntarily with a single one of his treasures. Even though, for example, he gives jewels to the favorites in his family, he does it purely because he knows that the young maidens cannot remove the jewels to the outside world. He is very jealous of his belongings and guards the treasure he has built up over the years in large storerooms. He keeps detailed inventories of all his possessions so that he can be alerted immediately if a single object goes missing. Jewels serve a specific purpose for the dragon in that he usually sleeps on a bed of gems and luxurious fabrics, such as silks and velvets. For this bed, he never uses soft stones like pearls and emeralds, as they are too fragile. Another theory says that dragons also hoard "precious" items for reasons other than just simple obsession. At a level we humans are incapable of feeling, different metals and other items "resonate" at certain levels, especially gold and silver. The dragons could use this resonation to their advantage, controlling it, manipulating it. In a nut shell, it enhanced their already remarkable "mystic" powers. In addition to the enhancing powers, this "resonation" also had the same addictive effect as a "rush" in humans. Hence, the more a dragon acquired, the more he/she wanted. This also allowed their immediate detection of any missing piece. Do you find this valuable? Post reply

			Thread started: Jan 24 2010, 5:30 PM EST Watch The breath weapon of a dragon is not a magical thing that spread out of no-where but had a more scientific explanation. When we eat our body by digesting created a gas know as Methane (CH4), dragon unlike human and other animal store this gas into another kind of "lung" that will serve as a bag/canister to held the gas that will be later mixed with a small amount of phosphor (P4) that has the propriety to ignite in fire at the contact of air. When the dragon wants to breathe fire, the methane is release into the lung and when the gas is in the air, the phosphor ignites and also puts the methane in fire. Do you find this valuable?

			Thread started: Jan 24 2010, 5:24 PM EST Watch The reproductive system of these creatures is internal, it means that at the look of their external physiognomy, it is hard (not to say nearly impossible) to determine if this dragon is a male or a female, only the general behavior and the small change in their color can provide informations about the dragon's gender. Dragons lead egg like reptiles and bird, eggs are protected by a hard shell that with time will weaken to let the new baby dragon break it more easily. The incubation period of these creatures is mostly unknown; some egg will hatch in a year other two and some more than five year. The dragons eggs are rich in calcium and I suppose that the newborn dragons eat is shell to not waste the nutriment in it. The mating process is known as dragon-fall: the two partners fly high in the sky together and after a moment they grab each other and close their wing and make free-fall. Then they open their wings and miss the ground my inches, this enables trust. The dragon's unusual mating process is mainly because dragons love speed and risk, and add these to the pleasure of love... you have a sensation that no human could ever enjoy. (Too bad, you should have been born a dragon). :) ;) Do you find this valuable? Post reply

			Thread started: Jan 23 2010, 9:47 PM EST Watch The Dragon is a creature set apart from any other not beacause of his appearance, but because of the incredibly high intelligence level. One reason why the dragon attains an intelligence so much higher than that of man is most likely due to that fact that dragons live so much longer than man. It is wisdom gained over hundreds of years of experience that makes the dragon our superior. Young dragons in fact are much less intelligent than young humans. This could be because human children are raised and taught by their parents for many years. Young male dragons are left to hatch and fend for themselves. They rely purely on instinct for many years. Their level of intelligence at this time is no higher than a very cunning predator. The female dragons who are much rarer and very highly regarded are taken to the dragon court to be raised with the other young females where they recieve teaching of dragon knowledge.

			Thread started: Jan 23 2010, 9:43 PM EST Watch A dragons coloring is something like a human fingerprint. Many dragons have the same coloring but each dragon has its own mixture and pattern of different hues of that color. It would be impossible to list all of the different hues and gradiations of color that dragons posses. But all these colors can generally be placed into three broad color groupings: the Blues, the Reds, and the Greens. The Blue Dragons can range in color anywhere from dark blue to silver and mother of pearl. The Red Dragons can be anything from copper to bright vivid red, such as the dragon at right, to dark reddish-black. Greens, which seem to be the most common (probably because they generally live in the same environment as humans and are seen more), vary in color from any shade of green to yellow and includes dark brown and burnished gold. These three principle groups are not usually mixed, however, as mentioned before, a dragons coloring will generally vary with many different hues from one of the main catagories. Most dragons' scales also cary a metallic luster that makes them shimmer in the sunlight. This is possibly another way of hiding. By using this reflective luster to their advantage, they can reflect the light waves from their surroundings and blend in much like a lizard changes colors. If a dragon appears pale or his scales are slightly opaque in color, this is a sure sign of poor health. Many dragons are known in assumed name by their colors such as Ancalagon the Black, Temeliay the Gold, or Canth the Brown Do you find this valuable? Post reply

			Thread started: Jan 23 2010, 9:43 PM EST Watch Dragons are very well versed in magic. But only in the natural magics. Earth magic, Plant magic, and Water magic. Dragons do not devel in black magic because they live in harmony with nature. Black magic steals energy and life from nature to do its bidding. Of course, as in any species, there are a disgruntled few who do practice Black magic. But these live as outcasts never to recieve any help, or recognition, and constantly living in fear of being killed by all of the dragon clan. The dragon using natural magics knows how and to what extent he can manipulate nature for his own purposes without disturbing the delicate ecological balance. He can invoke the power of the elements and create illusions including those which he may use for disguises. A dragon can appear as part of the landscape or even as a human or any other animal. Some of the more practiced, elder dragons can hold a disguise for several days without falter. There are many human legends of humans transformed into dragons. This is most likely a case of a young dragon in disguise who accidentally lost concentration or could just not hold the guise any longer without rest. These magnificent dragon wizards hold great contempt for the clumsy human wizards who often alter and corrupt the life forces of nature, with no respect or thought of the consequences. This to the dragons is practically black magic. The only reason the dragons let these wizards live to practice magic in this way is because they know the wizards do not know any better. The contempt is mutaul however, because the wizards are jealous of the dragons great power and mastery of magic. This is most of the cause of the dragons bad reputation. For ages, medieval necromancers and preists who were jealous of their superiors taught the common folk that dragons were the incarnation of evil and the devil. Do you find this valuable? Post reply

			Thread started: Jan 23 2010, 9:42 PM EST Watch Dragons are deep lovers of all things beautiful. Art, poetry, jewelry amd jewels, and of course they have their favourites. Favourites are the women which they "allow" to stay in their abode to take care of them, keep them company and just look beautiful. Dragons are wonderful poets as well. Much of their time is spent writing poetry and song. Here is an example of a dragon poem passed down through the ages. The author is said to be the great Cercamon. QUANT L'AURA DOUSSA S'AMARIS E L FUELHA CHAI DE SUL VERJAN E L'AUZELH CHAJAN LOR LATIS, ET IEU DE SAI SOSPIR E CHAN D'AMOUR QUE. M TE LASSAT E PRES, QU'IEU ANC NO L'AGUI EN PODER. translation: 'When the gentle breeze becomes embittered and the trees lose their foliage, and the birds stop singing, I too, sighing, sing of the love which burns within me for it is not within my power to appease it.' The one truth about dragons that seems to remain uncorrupted through the ages is the fact that they love to hoard their jewels. They 'aquire' jewels to decorate their homes throughout their lives through various methods both fair and foul. Buying, looting, robbing, barter, trade, fraud and contest are all means to get their precious jewels. Dragons are also very fond of riddles and conundrums. Often they make deals with their victims to let them go if they correctly solve a riddle. In the dragon court, there are sometimes held contests to declare the dragon with the quickest wit. One year a human who was allowed to enter the contest defeated all others. His name...Merlin the magician. The one human magician who held great admiration among the dragons for he used natural magic and was very wise...for a human. Do you find this valuable? Post reply
