Description
March 26Benden is driving me insane. It has occured to him that perhaps the pixidragon is a tropical species, and so we find ourselves in southern callifornia, examining the exotic plants for signs of the creature.
No luck yet(of course.) but I've stumbled across a pair of spotted drakes. I've always liked these little dragons, the male is brightly colored to attract attention, while the female matches the plants around her. Another tiny species, perhaps two inches tall, the male being a little larger.
I've found myself thinking of my mother's stories a lot on this trip, and this pair reminds me of her tales of a 'bird' that is so in love, should it's mate die, the 'lovebird' would die as well.
Ah the stories of our youth... onward now... the pixidragon waits.

yay :3 man I wish I had the energy to draw more at the moment...I think enxt trip I'll bring my doll making stuff and finish the two I have in process...I think it's easier to sit in front of the tv sewing than drawing....finding that the place I'm at now isn't very condusive to drawing...for me...and it's raining more often than not so I can't go outside to draw ;_;
