The Dragon Weyrs
THE FEATHERDRAGON EMPIRIALS
 |
"Valack cummen-shet, mitsint?" A large blue dragon barks the query at you as you enter the immense weyr. You stop dead, stunned by such a huge beast being suddenly so close. You stutter that you do not speak that language and the big animal blinks, confused, then switching to English with sudden realization. His voice is clear, lacking the accent that most dragons have when they speak. "Oh! I'm so sorry, traveler. I thought you might be one of Azrielen's friends and thus speak her language and ours. Anyway, welcome to our weyr!We are the FeatherDragons from the FeatherDragon Empire. This cave is our birthplace, but we all still go back to the old Empire every so often. I, myself, am an origianl FeatherDragon, Eros Featherdragon to be exact, and so aI have no Home Sands to return to. I was born long before the Empire was built up, but my companions here are much younger and do not remember life without an Empire web. Come, meet them!..." | ||
| A green FeatherDragon rest lazily on a bright rock in the firelight from a nearby fireplace set into the stone wall. Eros wakes you up, squawking loudly to wake the half-asleep dragon, and then flitters off to stoke the waning fire. "Hello." says the dragon in a deeper voice, but also a clear one. "I am Green Doujin Featherdragon, the second FeatherDragon to be hatched here at New Beginnings." He pulls himself up on the large flat stone and reached out a scaled claw to shake your hand, an offer you hesitantly accept. His scales are soft and warm, but sharp-tipped if you rub them the wrong way. "I am from the Desert Sands of the Empire, a vast wasteland full of odd creatures, like the Cheetahjah, upright Cheetah-like desert-dwellers that have a violent tribal history. I'm quite the history buff, you see, and the Empire is and interesting subject, though it is relatively new. The history of this place, New Beginnings, is a much longer story. I'm running this year for the office of historian and have already started writing the story of this Hold's founding! Wish me luck!" You do, and the green directs you toward another rock... |  |

....where a blue FeatherDragon lays, watching you intently. He is full of trapped energy. Though he is laying down, all four of his claws are tapping rythmically on the flagstones beneath him. His eyes glow in the semidark as he introduces himself. "Hey! I'm Nile, a blue FetherDragon and the youngest here. Please forgive my mess..." You look at the piles of rubble all around. "...but I'm in the middle of digging myself a bed in the rock. Somtimes I get awful lonely here, even if there are lots of other creatures to keep me company. All the FeatherDragons here are so much older. Anyway, I come from the Mountain sands, from one of the first clutches there after a long dry period where no flights took place. I miss home, but the Empire has such strict rules and I never quite feel comfortable there, but it is home. It's a love/hate relationship. Oh! Let me introduce you to someone very special..." |
| "....This is Kio Swy'Tro, our little red MiniFeatherDragon. If he'd stayed in the Empire, he'd be of the lowest ranks of males, but here everyone is equal and he feels safe and secure. He can get everything he needs to grow strong and full, though he'll never get much bigger than a small dog, so we often have to watch our feet! And speaking of small dogs...here is a little Featherdog named Bea*Ilshondi. He has grown up to be a strong male of the Beagle variety from a wild litter at the Peak Sands. We still have a pic of him as a pup if you'd like to see it. He's Kio's partner in crime! They are both bouncy little guys once you get them going, even if sleep appears to be their best friends." The little Red squawks indignantly at Nile, while stroking the warm fur of his puppy friend's ear. "Oh, hush, little one. Come, travelor, let me introduce you to two of the desert arrivals!" |   |

| The dragon leads you to a pile of sand in the corner where two squealing ...somethings...are squirming and playing. You feel warmth eminating from the heated pile on which the critters scuffle and fight like brother and sister. "These are the G'm~dygrs, a breed of desert-dweller. Their names are very interesting, for their language has no vowels in it. The one on the left is Lapis male B'rls~C'ntr L'ps W'slm. His first name is his given name, which Azrieln picked for him. The second is a vowel-less expression of the color he will be when he reaches adulthood, and the third is his broodname. The little one on the right is, well, different. Or at least that is what the other G'm~dygrs said before she hatched. She is one of he newest color mutatios to come out of the Desert - a Zircon! They could no tell what color or sex the little one would be...not until se most recently became an adult and her color showed through. It is an odd set of circumstances, I know! For the longest time she had only two names, the given name and the broodname, but now she also has her color name. In full, her name is Wh'n'ms Z'rcn N'clr, with the new color expression of Zircon! Her given mane is models after the Whynyms, the super-intelligent equines in Gulliver's Travels, a favorite book of Azrielen's. Little Wh'n'ms was part of a wild clutch of four, none of which could be identified as to what color they were. We just had to wait and see!" The dragon smiles paternally done on the playful young G'mdygrs and sighs, bidding you farwell. " Thanks for visiting, traveler, and we all hope to see you again very soon!" | ||
