a small fire dragon was upset it couldn't ever blow out it’s candles and was one day crying by the river. unbeknownst to it, a small water dragon noticed a weird tear in the water as the tear seemed to glow and was oddly warm to the touch despite being in the cold river. so she swam up and noticed a little fire dragon and debated going up since she was always warned of their dangerous flames. she noticed it was crying and threw all caution to the wind and peeked her head up. “hello” she called to the strange orange and gold dragon. “why are you crying?”
the dragon with little flame wings jumped back a little and a small flame puffed out of it’s nose and caught little blade of grass on fire, and the small dragon looked worried as it scanned for something to put it out. the water dragon smiled and raised a small wing up and the water soared from the tip of the wing to the small flame and it sizzled as it was put out. the water dragon eyed the dragon with eyes of melting gold and giggled, bubbles floating up to the surface, as her snout was still underwater.
she pulled her snout the rest of the way out of the water, the suction noise made the flame dragon glance over as the surface broke. “perhaps you didnt hear me,” she said as she curled her teal and blue tail around her front legs, green and shimmering with royal blue talons. “i asked why you were upset.”
the red and gold dragon sniffed, an odd sight for the water dragon as she had never interacted with any other type, and knew only the stories of the destruction they caused. “it.. it’s dumb...” the fire dragon replied, it’s voice sounding like coals being dunked in water, a harsh buzz followed by popping bubble sounds. “y-you see, it’s my birthday and i was given a candle on it, but i was unable to put it out..”
the water dragon tilted her head as ocean blue eyes met gold, and her face of confusion and fear melted into one of understanding. “bring it here” she told the small one. “bring it and i shall extinguish it for you in a way that will not harm any.”
the fire dragon took a step forward. “you.. you mean it?” the nod the water dragon gave was as subtle as a small wave crashing against the sand, small and seemingly meaningless but the most impactful to the ones involved.
the dragon bred of coals and ash, always told to never go bear any type of water in fear of the demonic water dragons threw all previous knowledge aside as it raced home over the result of any animal stepping foot on their land, hopping over bones and decaying carcasses as it raced to retrieve the small flame-lit delicacy given by it’s tribe.
grabbing it gently between it’s claws, it used it’s small wings to fly the little way over to the waiting angel who would take but a few seconds to impact the lives of countless dragons of water and fire as they learned to work together and would combine to create a new tribe of earth dragons, those living both in water and land as they were known as the peace tribe, keeping peace between all tribes and preventing any prophecy from completion, aside the one of the earth tribe’s creation.
the water dragon smiled, lifting a few droplets and extinguishing the small flame, and planting the hope in the flame dragon, that perhaps others weren’t too bad and they could all, in fact, live and love together.
Ah yes, the time-honored “let my pet lure the dragon into bashing its head into a cliff while I shoot its butt full of arrows” strategy. Works every time.
Today’s smaugust will have to be these two fullbody refsheets for Rya and Soul x.=.x I am exhausted lmao
Anyways, a bit about these two. Rya is Empress of dragons at the time the books are set in, and Soul is her secretary and also, her life-long friend. Rya lives in the Grand Citadel of the dragons’ capital city, Dracora, and spends most of her days listening to her subjects, planning to help improve infrastructure, and giving her blessings to hunting parties. Soul is there to keep her on schedule, and to bring her up to speed on the latest happenings. She lives in the chambers next to the Empress’s, and is considered the dragon to know in the inner circles.
Catalysta convenes regularly with both of them for council meetings, and considers both her close friends.
You know how sometimes when you kill a dragon too fast its body is left suspended off the ground? That happened here, and when it respawned it appeared to be wearing the body as a hat. Or something.
It was the goofiest looking thing I’ve ever seen. LOL
