...is nobody planning to write high fantasy post-golden age of magic and semi-post high fantasy cataclysmic event au dinluke??? with wizard prince Luke frantically learning to be a wizard so he can escape his royal status and free from the royal succession fight and high society political drama, renting an abandoned tower to live like a medieval fantasy equivalent of broke college student. And a retired knight-in-literal-shining-armor hermit landlord who takes commissions for jewelry or metal items and armor/weapon repairs bc he's a pretty good metalsmith too who doesn't charge insane prices, he's quiet and private but checks on Luke weekly and feeds him homecooked meals what a sweet, soft-spoken and well-mannered gentleman wow his voice is so-- nO FOCUS LUKE YOU USELESS TWINK WIZARD WANNABE DONT FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR LANDLORD. GO STUDY.
But the sweet retired knight landlord happens to be secretly the last of dragonkind that can shift into semi-human form and was once the king of the ancient dragon kingdom. Oh no he's been protecting the last green dragon egg that Luke accidentally hatches bc of his experiment with magic now they have to coparent this baby dragon Grogu ("That's a... unique name, Mando. I never heard of it before." "It was a popular name.... Two hundred years ago." and teaches him to shift into semi-human shape before people gets suspicious.nobody? no?? ok 😶
...also, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE A MAGICAL DARK MAGIC SWORD THAT CAN EXPIRE ANY SPELLWORK, DIN?? no, let's talk about your dark sorcerer dad and his ancient dark sorcerer master who massacred my kind a thousand years ago first. that shabuir is still alive and kicking and been sitting his dusty ancient ass behind your kingdom's throne for generations!!
(reposted from my main blog bc it didn't show up in the tags for some reason)
bonus: Din has 0 fucks to give for magical-related stuff but has a wealth of ancient knowledge that ties in with ancient magic secrets, but only because back then in his time those were common knowledge to the average person lmao.
also Din has long given up on following the current events so he's completely out of the loop concerning the local news/events and political climate, he thinks Luke is just another one of those broke wizard-in-training NOT the prince of the nearby kingdom Din please we have a thing called newspapers now it's accessible to the peasants too!!
this also means Din is completely inept at operating the latest advanced magical tools.
"Luke how do I communicate with my knight friend Cara in the neighbouring kingdom with a handheld mirror???"
"Back in my days we have to throw copper coins into the public fountains or wells to send people distorted voice messages.... it may or may not even reach the right body of water. and it charges. per. SENTENCE."
"Sure grandpa let's go buff up your shiny silver scales okay? 😊"
