#teacup dragons

"The green one shall be Rhaegal, for my valiant brother who died on the green banks of the Trident. The cream-and-gold I call Viserion. Viserys was cruel and weak and frightened, yet he was my brother still. His dragon will do what he could not.” [...] “The black,” she said, “is Drogon.”

the quest for seawater, 5/10/19

I needed some seawater and sea sand for my spellwork so I decided to take the spirit family and the two teacup dragons on a little cycling adventure around the forest and waterways and the beaches around my house. 

With the teacups clinging on to my backpack and G and Mei coasting alongside my bike, we set off along the park network down towards the sea. The sky was brewing up with a storm, the grey clouds rolling in. We spot a lot of wind serpents darting through the clouds. In the darker areas of the sky swirl a few storm serpents, and they are purported to eat wind serpents so they must be on the hunt.

G and Mei have a little friendly competition on speed. When I ask Mei how she’s not tired running at the same speed that I’m cycling (which is quite fast, really), she replies that it’s what hellhounds are good at. Built for speed or something like that. My cycling speed is a bit too fast for the teacup dragons’ liking, but we make do. They enjoy the thrill of it all.

We pass some people and a whole lot of forest-like areas and past some seafood restaurants and residences. We near a section of beach that is more secluded off the cycling tracks and covered with a lot of dark rounded rocks. These rocks are covered in small barnacles and scuttling blue crabs. 

The sea is calm and the waves lap rhythmically against the rocks. This part of the beach is slightly away from a pier where there are children playing in the water and on the beach and people go to take photos of the scenic sea. There is a bunch of otter spirits frolicking about in the waters near the pier. They don’t seem to mind the people and the noise. 

I ready my jars and stoop down to collect the water. I can feel multiple eyes staring at me from the water and the rocks further out to sea. I see a small finned creature leap off the rock closest to me and into the water. I think it’s a type of mermaid. 

The moment I bend down to get the water, the waves start rising and crashing up against the rocks. The low tide starts roaring and getting higher and rushing against the rocks. I almost slip off the rock I’m standing on. The water seems to be chasing me up the shore. I can’t step in the water because I have an open wound on my foot and salt is going to HURT. It’s almost as if the sea wanted me to back off.

I manage to get my water, albeit without an uproar. Even someone else on the beach commented on how sudden the waves seemed to intensify. A few children had to back up the beach from the water. 

I see a few mermaid-like creatures staring at me from the water and the rocks, so I explain that I’m only taking a little water for my spellwork. I don’t have any offerings, and there is no litter around to pick, so I indicate clearly that I am leaving and will not be bothering the water any longer.

The tide starts to calm down and recede.

Thanks to my friends ( they gave me this idea), I will try to do some teacup dragons or something close to that, I love smol dragons ♡. Bonus Watch me as I draw those small creatures on a 6500×6000 canvas. (I will do them in batches so... expect 4 dragons at time)

the haze, 22/9/19

The haze is back again. I haven’t gone out in a day but I can see from the balcony just how hazy it is. More wind serpents are back in the skies again. They seem to be following the haze and bringing the wind, clearing the haze. 

Usually the teacup dragons will fly out to explore the waterways and forest and hunt for insects to eat under the vigil of G, but it’s far too hazy to let them go now so they have to settle for splashing around in the mini fountain. Besides, more spirits who are predatory in nature tend to be driven out in the haze. Too risky, even with upgraded wards for them. 

On one hand I sincerely hope the haze clears, but on the other hand I’m actually really interested in the various spirits the haze drives out that would usually be hidden or further out to sea.

teacup dragons, 9/9/19

I got the wonderful opportunity of working with two teacup dragons, and let me tell you they are absolute sweethearts.

Teacup dragons are smaller dragons a few notches larger than the size of your average cockatiel, and they come in many shapes and sizes. This duo in particularly are very eye-catching, one cerise and the other bright purple, and I cannot wait to get to know them better.

the haze, 18/9/19

Stepped foot out of the house for the first time in days with G and the two teacup dragons and I’m immediately struck in the face by the worsening haze. Smog because of forest fires from the neighbouring country is wafting here again.

It’s like 6.45am in the morning and I’m walking to the train station with the dragons. It feels like eyes are watching us from all sides. There are a few other serpentine forms swooping about in the skies, but we don’t have to watch out for them under the sheltered walkways.

We draw near to the exposed bridge across the waterway and immediately through the hazy morning light we can see creatures darting about in the water. Some sort of mermaid, and not the friendly kind. Tens of them stare at us almost hungrily from the water. The haze probably drove them here inland from the sea I live next to. Told the teacup dragons to stick closer and for G to put up her guard. G kept urging me not to look their way, not to attract their attention as we walked across the bridge.

The haze is bringing in a lot of spirits taking shelter from the worsening smog, it’s quite suffocating and not at all good for respiration. I’ve been seeing more spirits in the urban areas being driven inland away from the sea and the forest where the haze is getting worse.

I have to set up more wards for the teacup dragons and my space, just so that they’re not vulnerable to any passing predatory spirit.
