♔FIRST

[emblazing]

[ at first there's nothing. there's scuttling sounds, the hissing of something like a snake and a woman's quiet murmurs before sight comes to you. you might be riveted first by the sight of a dragon the size of a small dog sitting in a young lady's lap, the color of cream. she is dressed regally. her features are uncommon, bright violet eyes and waves of silver hair falling around her shoulders; bright as stars. 

those shoulders are not bare in just clothing alone. on each shoulder is another dragon, one green, the other a bit larger, black with red streaks in it's scales. she seems calm enough, if not for the fact that her eyes are simmering with fury, her mouth in a taut, tense line. her voice is slightly raised, lined with anger.]

I know of magic. I know that is what brings me here though I know not the reason why. You will not keep me here. My city waits for me, and beyond it all that was stolen from me. I cannot reclaim what is rightfully mine in your spell, whoever has placed it upon me.

[ the black dragon hisses, flapping it's red wings. ]

If there are others trapped in this place, tell me what you know. In return I will reward you by freeing you along with me once I find answers and passage out. There must be a way out.

As for those who have placed this magic--
[ her voice hardens, sharp and raised. ]
You will recieve no such names from me--my enemies are many and I will not waste words on those who have placed me here. I do not fear you--rather, you should fear me. For once you have woken an avenging dragon it does not sleep until it has punished those who have wronged it.

Dragons have not long been since in Westeros or any lands in centuries. It is hard to say but if I follow what I have read, they will never stop growing for as long as they live.

[ Helios looks a bit sad at that information. Dragons have gone extinct then in her world? No, not extinct, if her three were anything to go by. ] Fascinating. They truly never stop growing? Ah, well, I've heard of such dragons in my own world. Immortal and never dying. Like, ah Leviathan and Ouroboros. My world also has dragon gods too.

[ A pause. ] But they're mostly deities and not normal dragons that can change their size and shape at will. Regular dragons t-typical have a, um, standard size.

[emblazing]

Dragons that were gods? Now that is something I have never heard before. Yes, that is the way of it, on dragons growing. At least, so they said of Balerion the Black Dread.

A standard size, then? I wish I were more certain of my dragons than you were, I only know that they shall grow and become great allies to me. That and they like their meat cooked. [ her lips quirk in a little smile ]

[folklorist]

Yes there's even entire religious and mystical believes based around them. Lots of old myths and-and magic in dragons. I, ah, know a god whose a dragon. He's a bit...insufferable at times but w-we learn how to get along with one another. [ He smiles as he says that. ]

Balerion, hm. Dragons haven't been around for a long time in your world, correct? It's only natural that the information on them is little to none. If you wouldn't mind, your highness, I-I'd like to, um, m-meet them sometime in-in person.

He speaks your tongue? I imagine a god would.

Yes, Aegon the Conqueror, one of my forebears rode him into battle along with two others, Meraxes and Vhagar.

I would let you see them.

[folklorist]

Yes he does...a bit more rough than I would have thought. [ A laugh. Ra was...a very different sort of god. ]

I really do appreciate that. It would be an honor t-to your highness.
