Hello, my name is Puddles, I'm technically a drake (drakes are male adult ducks, and also a dragon synonym!), and I'm trying really hard to become a dragon, am I also valid?
I saw that face in my inbox and went "Hmmm. .. that's a fairly recognizable face . .. now where have I seen it before?" and all it took was to see your blog header to answer that question :P
Hanging out with other dragons, WOULD want to make one be a dragon too. And there plenty of water-loving dragons out there!
But to answer your question .. Are you a valid Dragon? And for that, well. ..
*Reaches down and grabs a massive scroll from a rack built under my absurdly large draconic throne, and unrolls it*
Lets see, hmm. .. *adjusts glasses* It says right here on the texts ..
*I turn the scroll around to face you, and there's one sentence on the otherwise overwhelmingly blank paper*
"All Dragons are valid. Even you". Are you a dragon? If you say yes, then, well, this should answer your question. *I put the scroll away*
Any other questions for the mighty Reven?
