These were written over a decade ago when I would type to myself on the computer between classes or when bored.
They were written very early in my awakening, long before I understood myself.
They are the musings of a goofy kid, and were meant to be a clever way to express my opinions on dragons at the time.
Originally removed from this site, I have resurrected these writings as they represent my early roots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(To Protect my actual name, I will refer to myself as: "JD"
Types of Dragons:
Hey if we were a three headed dragon what would that make us?
Jafira: Jakorva?
JD: What? No..
Veltra: That's not what he meant and you would make four.
JD: don't count me I'm human!
Koragus: It would make us some kind of hydra.
Veltra: Kora's friend said a draco hydra.
JD: Do hydras even exist?
Veltra: first you must ask do dragons exist.
JD: I'm not sure we would be a hydra what other types are there?
Koragus: You call yourself a dragon and your asking that?!
Veltra: Other types are Western dragons which are the basic winged dragon (us) Eastern Dragons which have no wings.
Jafira: how do they fly?
Koragus: Magic bumps on their head.
Veltra: (Ignoring the others) Wurms that have no wings and look like snakes
Jafira: What about Dracoliches
Veltra: Those are made up.
JD: I fear the undead.
Koragus: I see that Veltra does not believe in dracoliches and thus is a hypocrite.
Veltra: (ignores & continues) There are Wyverns which, like pterosaurs have wings but no arms.
JD: Like the dragons on the movie Reign of Fire but a little smaller I think.
Veltra: Then there are dragon like creatures such as the Chimera which has a body of a lion wings of a dragon and heads of a dragon goat and lion.
Jafira: how do the heads avoid killing each other?
Koragus: The same as a hydra they just put up with each other and if one head gets out of line the others take a chunk out of it.
JD: you don't know and don't pretend you do.
Jafira: How do "We" keep from killing each other?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Existence Of Dragons:
Jafira: are we / dragons real?
JD: you three could just be clever constructions of my mind.
Jafira: But our thoughts are real and by writing about us in your stories we in a sense do exist now.
Veltra: As for dragons in general anything is possible there are infinite timelines dimensions and worlds (Multi-verse Theory) it is entirely possible that we are real and also that humans and dragons coexist on other worlds, but dragons do not and probably never did exist on this world the legend of the dragon was most likely created by people who found dinosaur fossils in the past.
Veltra: Or if you believe that other technological cultures (atlantis, Lumuria, Mu?) may have existed before this current time it is entirely possible that humans had dinosaur fossils or could have even found ways to other worlds and met our kind.
JD: Veltra I doubt that if there was An Atlantis they had trans-dimensional travel
Jafira: I love the crazy discussions I start, this is why I'm fun. ^_^
JD: If you believe something is real then it is.
Koragus: But then again dragons from other worlds could have ended up here and in new forms told what they once where. (Dragonkin)
Veltra: The point is that even though we may not physically exist we still do exist in this world, dragons live in legends and dreams and are so popular that they can't help but exist atleast in our collective psyche.
Jafira: So we most likely do exist if not on this world then in others?
Koragus: If so, there are dragons and we do exist until proven otherwise In celebration of our own existence I say we get some snacks and a soda!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Q-A:
Jafira: I found some questions about Dragons and thought we could try to answer some!
Koragus: >_< Jafira why do you waste your time and ours with such stupidity!
Veltra: No he is right we could answer some of the questions but there are different types of dragons and what applies to us may not apply to others of our kind, in any case lets give it a shot!
Jafira: Are dragons warm or cold blooded?
Veltra: I believe though I am not a scientist and cannot explain how it would work that we are different then the creatures of this world and that our blood had evolved to shift on the time of year, a trasitional stage between cold and warm blooded, otherwise I strongly believe we as reptiles were cold blooded.
Jafira: How do dragons communicate?
Veltra: We as guides communicate by telepathy, we send thoughts pictures and emotions although in life we communicated through a complex system of growls hisses, and motions.
Jafira: Do dragons have two legs or four?
Koragus: What kind of stupid question is that?
Veltra: Dragons took a path in evolution separate then the pterodactyls of this world we have evolved wings and walk on four legs we can also stand on our hind legs while using our tail for balance, two legged dragons are a subspecies of our kind known as wyverns.
Jafira: Could dragons and humans coexist peacefully?
Koragus: N-O
Veltra: I am afraid he is right humans fear what they do not understand, furthermore humans attack there own for being different how could they live aside something as different as us in peace?
Jafira: How do dragons fly?
Koragus: We glide and all that stuff about us and gases from The Flight of Dragons is just rubbish!
Veltra: Our bones are generally light like a birds our wings aren't meant for rapid flapping except for a ground take off we prefer to jump from high places and glide on thermals.
Jafira: what do dragons eat are they herbivores or carnivores?
Koragus: ^.=.^ I eat people!
(Veltra claws Koragus)
Veltra: we are omnivores we eat both plants and meat, we prefer meat more. as for humans they are to stringy to be a sufficient meal so don't worry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Existence Of Dragons Part 2:
JD: Let's talk about the existence of dragons!
Koragus: I already told you we exist!
JD: Prove it!
Koragus: Historical books, Beowulf, king Arthur , the Lambton wurm. Eastern lore!
Veltra: Koragus your just guessing let me explain, Dragons have been written of in legends from Rome, Greece, Egypt, and many parts of Europe and at the time they were believed to be everywhere and people would go slay them so if there where no dragons what where they hunting?
Plus in eastern lore dragons played a major role, also on the other side of the earth the peoples of south America worshipped a serpent god Quetzalcoatl that was similar to a dragon and if you compare the Mayan serpent god to the eastern dragons you will see that they are almost completely similar!
The dragon was known on the other side of the earth hundreds of years before the Americas were discovered! Every human culure on Earth has a legend of us in some form or another, there is something to say about that.
JD: that will be enough for now!
Jafira: I didn't get to talk...
Koragus: That's probably a good thing!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragons Breathing Fire:
Jafira: Another question! How did dragons breath fire.
Veltra: I don't think all dragons could breath fire, some do but the ones on this world if there were any, most likely didn't, it was just a myth made by humans to incriminate us. For example breath on your arm and your breath is hot. So humans would lie about dragons and say that a dragons breath was hot enough to burn wood then this would slowly be translated into a dragon breaths fire. But then I am sure there are many of our kind somewhere that actually can, just not here.
Jafira: Anything else? come on you've got to know more!
Koragus: Veltra, just make something up.
Veltra: I'm not going to make stuff up. We don't know how dragons do it. We three of course didn't do it, but there may be some that can breath fire and I'm sure it's something to do with oddities of there resperatory system. I really don't know it's almost embarrassing. As for other breath weapons, I assume media and fantasy influence play a part, I seriously doubt that it's possible to breath ice/lightning but the breathing acid could just be a misinterpretation of spiting venom..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Dragon's Skin:
Koragus: dragons are winged reptiles with four legs and a tail some have scales some have hide I have yet to come across any with feathers and I have only found two furry dragons!
Jafira: I have a small amount of red fur or feathers on my head and going down my neck similar to a horses mane, being a reptile I don't know how that's possible... but I do.
Koragus: Jafira your a freak see me I have spines going down my back! No fuzzy mane, see your weird!
Veltra: No I believe your wrong it is possible for reptiles to have fur and even feathers. Recently in the past few years it was discovered that some dinosaurs evolved feathers for insulation so the concept of a dragon with feathers is possible and in another world dragons could even have grown fur so it is naive to believe all dragons have scales some can also have Hyde, feathers, or fur, boundless possibilities, there is simply no way to know for sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are dragon's social?:
Are dragons social creatures? Tell me what you think and why.
Koragus: No. I like to be alone but you can never have to many underlings to push around.
Jafira: Yes. I was alone a lot but liked to find others so I think dragons are social.
Veltra: It doesn't matter what we think, the point is that dragons may have been social creatures, some may live in small groups, however more likely and probable, I believe us to be nomadic wanderers. But, perhaps there can be small families, two mated dragons will raise there young until they are old enough to live on there own.
Some could potentially stay together and merge with other dragons untill you would have a small community, however it could not last very long they would eventually run out of food and separate, overall after a while other dragons are just competition for limited resources. Any thing more then a small group of dragons is obviously unsustainable.
I do note that the pterodactyls that once existed on earth are believed to have flown in flocks and although they bare very little resemblance to dragons it does show that it is possible for flying reptiles to exist together in a society or clan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Veltra's Theory:
Observations of fellow dragonkin have shown me a greater incite of other worlds where I have comprised a theory. We can find no reference of Tycosa or Araconis in others stories so it is possible that are world most likely did not exist true? No, in the stories of our world Tycosa was not a planet but just the name of the region in which we lived in.
JD: At this point I would like to point out that Veltra's views do not match that of the management and-- (Koragus grabs and gags JD then sneaks away.)
Veltra: hmm that wasn't necessary oh well.. I have noticed that the worlds in others story's have similarities with ours and some claim to be from a land called Terra we ourselves believe we're from a place called Terraset. Perhaps most dragons did not originate from several worlds but instead different sections of the same world. It's just a theory, something to think about and nothing more it wouldn't apply to all dragons anyway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Dragons Color's:
Koragus: My turn huh? So what am I supposed to do? Talk about myself?
Jafira: Talk about dragons idiot! No one cares about you!
Koragus: You'll pay for that later! Okay, dragons what haven't we covered hmm.- I'm gonna talk about dragon colors.. Black's pick on whites and fear gold. whites fear blacks, greens fear reds. reds pick on greens and fear copper.. ect. ect.
But I don't buy that nonsense it's all stereotypical I had based the above stuff on the dragon color test but not all black dragons hate white dragons and not all red dragons are stupid bloodthirsty idiots, most dragons are all the same but like most reptiles adapt there colors to their surroundings I for example would hunt at night, being black the prey would not see me.
Jafira living in the forest would be camouflage as long as he's not airborne. Veltra living on a rocky mountain could hide and blend in perfectly with the rocks. So most dragons colors are likely based upon their environment and have little to do with their actual personality, just because I'm a black dragon does not make me evil.
Jafira: Hey where's JD?!
Koragus: JD? Oh him? He's still tied up in the closet from the last sessions we had, someone should probably let him out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#10 Dragon Senses:
Jafira: Okay! So today we're gonna talk about our senses!....I don't know why....
JD: Because we haven't covered it yet!
Koragus: No one cares!
Veltra: Let's get this done.
Koragus: My eyesight is very good. Telescopic much like an eagles, I can see prey (you) very well from the sky and dive down and capture it!
Koragus: I also have excellent night vision but that may not be true for others of my kind because I am very active at night.
Jafira: I was active mostly during the day.
Veltra: Most dragons also have a very acute sense of smell and can taste the air with there tongue much like a snake.
Veltra: Our sense of hearing is a little more powerful than a humans. But some of our kind have much better hearing equalivent to that of a canine.
Jafira: Sense of touch is quite obvious everything feels physical pain at some point, but our thick skin/scales lower our sense of feeling. If you try to hurt us we probably won't feel it unless we're bleeding.
Koragus: Hmmm Sense of taste everything tastes good so that must be working!
Veltra: also most of us dragons have a sixth sense and it is more powerful in some then others.
Koragus: While we're talking about sense, I would just like to point out that none of this makes any.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there you go Jafira, Korageth and Veltra, three dragons who like to talk about themselves. If you got a question about them or about dragons send it in and we might try are best to answer it.
