Smaugust Day 17 - Angry Ghost Dragon

When angered or attacking, its fiery crest will flare up into a higher flame, and unfold a pair of fangs from its upper jaw. The fangs could be made from either the very essence of the spirit, or some hard material it had found and shaped into a fang.

In this case, and unfortunate fairy had wandered into a ruined area of a city, which was being guarded by the spirits of the fallen army. They often mistake intruders as foreign invaders, and attack without a second thought. They’re active at night, imitating the work they once did when they served as sentries.

[soraruby]

I had to draw this after seeing this! :) You do such good work, keep it up!

Here we have Daul, the Dolphin merman. Here, we see him making a backflip, because it’s fun. He also appears in the mermaid au thread along side Sora and Jaqui. He’s a half-siren, can sing, and is very savage when fighting. He was raised by Jaqui, both of them living in exile, and have since formed a strong bond of brotherhood.

[soraruby]

This one is amazing too! The colors are gourgeous I love it so much thank you!!!

[jaquis-desolate-world]

@soraruby​

This time it’s Sora!! She’s an orca mermaid, and comes out in the same thread as Jaqui. And this time I remembered the scars! She gets her scars within the story thread, but she manages to recover from her injuries, though just barely. Whatever the case, she becomes the Queen of the kingdom she was born in, as is her birthright, sort of.

[soraruby]

Omg this is so amazing, thank you!!

Stare gently presses someone's nose with their tail.

Frightened silence! The poor girl begins to cry in terror as she has no idea what just happened, what this thing is, or how it touched her nose from under her pot, all she knows is that it has frightened her!!

[pinkstare]

soraruby

She gave it a long look before carefully taking it in her hands… and then plopping it on top of the creature’s noggin. You wear it!

Stare remained frozen in mid-air for a long moment. All this time, it had been searching for a new shell for the hatchling, and yet... Stare was the one who needed one all along! The teapot grew heavier, its weight bringing the creature to the ground.

[soraruby]

She watched the creature slowly fall to the ground and then peaked at it by lifting the pot. Was it okay?

[pinkstare]

Stare didn’t react, simply staying in its teapot. When it finally remembered the little girl, it reached its tail up to wrap itself around her hand.

[soraruby]

When it did, it surprised her and she squealed in terror. The first sound she had actually made around the creature.

[pinkstare]

Oh, no! The hatchling is crying! The creature thought that now was a good time to try to hug her. Weighed down by the pot, Stare hopped onto her lap and tried to snuggle her from there.

[soraruby]

She was okay, she just got startled right away, taking a few deep breaths she managed to calm herself down at least.

With a small huff she put her pot back on and held her plush close. She did not care for the things this creature was doing. She then sat in a corner with a pout.

After a while has passed, Stare managed to find another tea pot. This one was made of metal and partly covered in rust. Perhaps the hatchling would like this one. It returned to the little girl and showed her the tea pot.

This was not fun or safe! Her immediate reaction was to both claw her way out of the furniture and attempt to run. Granted, nether would get very far, but it was worth a try!

The girl escaped! Perhaps she needed to do something before she went into her new shell… Or maybe she didn’t like it. But what could this shell be missing? Stare let the girl escape for now, instead searching around the other rooms to see what it could find useful.

[pinkstare]

soraruby

Her immediate response was to cry again out of fear. She didn’t like to be picked up! This was not fun!

Oh, no! Why was the hatchling crying? Perhaps she didn’t feel safe. Not to worry! She would feel safe again once she got into her new shell! Like a creature from a horror movie, Stare slowly dragged the girl into the dark interior of the furniture, the blanket sticking out like the tongue of a hungry monster.

[pinkstare]

soraruby

She was confused watching the thing float about and throwing things around, holding her pot and stuffed friend close to her. This thing just kept on scaring her.

The thing watched her intently, its tail swished every now and then. It wondered why she hasn’t responded to it. Could she not hear it? Was she deaf?! Stare had yet to realize that people just weren’t telepathic like it was. Without further delay, Stare gently wrapped its tail around the girl’s waist and began to drag her into the furniture.

[pinkstare]

soraruby

She watched the thing drift away before giving a small huff and taking off the pot, checking to see if it had broke it more than it was.

Stare shoved out any junk that was inside the furniture in order to make room for the child. When it was done, it collected the blanket from the table and stuffed it inside the furniture. There! A suitable nest. It then returned to the hatchling and hovered beside her.

[pinkstare]

soraruby

She quickly fell back, swatting at his tail. She did not like this thing to touch her pot! It was already heavy, if it pushed it, she might fall over and break it more!

The creature stopped tapping when she swatted. Stare had seen creatures with shells before, and they always had one that could fit their entire body. This shell she had, it was too small! The pink blob drifted around the room to find something bigger. It figured a large furniture would do just fine. It was square... but it would have to do. It opened the little doors to see what lay inside them.

That… felt a little funny. It didn’t hurt at all, honestly, she hadn’t noticed her foot bleeding until now when she peaked out from behind her plush. At first she was uncertain, but after a moment she dug in her pocket and pulled out a strip of cloth, tying it around her foot to cover the cut. It wasn’t big, so she would be fine.

She had some toilet paper of her own all along! That is most good, yes. Stare stopped the booboo kisses to allow the hatchling to treat her cut. But it was curious... Why did she have a shell on her head? It proceeded to tap the tea pot with its tail.

Her face was already obscured by the pot, however, upon realizing she had been found the girl hid the cracked portions of her pot behind her rabbit friend, expecting the worse of this encounter, and for it to be her last.

Oh no! The hatchling must be in a lot of pain if she was hiding her face behind a squishy thing! Stare drifted closer to the child to inspect the wound. It knew it had to do something... something with toilet paper, but it wasn’t sure how to do it. What it did know was that dreamers liked to kiss the area that hurt. Yes! That’s what it would do! Stare gently pecked the bleeding cut, sending a tiny burst of happy energy through the touch.

soraruby

She finally let out a small squeak as something fell on her bare foot, hurting her! Oh no, surely the monster would find her now!

It stopped in mid-air when it heard the squeak. Could that be her? In order to investigate, Stare descended to the ground on the other side of the table. It found her at last! Oh, what joy, what victory! But wait... Why was she bleeding? It let go of the blanket to get closer to the girl and investigate the cut.

soraruby

At every sound of something large hitting the floor she would jump and gasp, using one hand to cover her mouth. This thing was dangerous! It was gonna eat her for sure!

Stare was sure she was just here a minute ago! Perhaps she went into another room altogether... The creature glided over the table where the girl lay hidden, the blanket sliding over it as it dropped some debris on the floor.

[soraruby]

soraruby

The loud noises made this even worse! She hated loud noise. at the shattering of the cup she squeaked and ran for the nearest hiding spot, under a table. Clutching her bunny friend in terror.  

Stare wondered where the child had run off to. It didn’t realize just how delicate she was with how she behaved. As such, the dream creature began its search for her, dragging the blanket around and knocking chairs and furniture as it did so. It just wanted her to be happy again!
