Description *pulls away gem-patterned curtain to reveal Wilson's next transformation: the draconic pushmi-pullyu*

 

Actually, this is just a color test (#5, others in scraps if you're curious) that got totally out of hand, ehehe.

But... (for readers of my fanfiction, which these dragon(s?) are from, ) does anyone else ever think about where that gem actually came from?

ALSO THIS IS ACTUALLY FRESH ART WOOOOoo

Pls don't steal (copy, trace, repost, etc)! Comments are appreciated!!

Yeah! And maybe smoke-like/kind of immaterial horns, etc, to imitate that dark-fire shadowy look. Intangible wings and whatnot.

Hehehe, thank you!   Definitely the intended impression--Wilson might think he's pretty scary, but my 'real' dragons would find him to be a little goofy looking/cutesy... almost more human looking, perhaps, by comparison.

Oooo, Narnia! Good stuff! :> And a very good guess!!! A better explanation than mine, really, hhhghchjkhhh. But perhaps predictably, my version is uneccessarily twisted?   and also very long, so save yourself and don't read it and TL;DR I appreciate your interest a lot!!!! So thank you!! And it will eventually come up in the fic, sorta, eheheh. 

Okay uhhh spoilers (?????) ahead????? 
I think about dragon lore a lot, bc um i like to, and also I've put a ton of work (with Little Result) into a pretty dragon-centric Original Project. So, I definitely ripped stuff from that for the fic -w- I'm weak. In my 'universe', dragon magic is wired to work optimally when 'shared'; it diminishes when stagnant. So dragons are considered 'the travelers' among magic users, because they're most content by nature when mingling with other magic/staying in motion. Thus, a lot of their intrinsic abilities are related: manipulation of time/space/realities (teleportation), intuitive abilities to learn languages/blend into other societies (shapeshifting,,,, kinda), some kind of weird... communal sharing of energy type thing....... etc. (Wilson isn't a 'real' dragon and can't do most of this stuff)

However, [insert long sad history, blah blah] there aren't a lot left, so 'sharing' magic with other dragons is increasingly difficult. A lot of those remaining are getting desperate and finding weird, somewhat less natural ways to hand off magic/preserve their legacy--and outside parties are eager to try to get in on it, take advantage.

The consequences of which is like the plotline of everything I write, ever,,,

But anyway, one such (particularly shady) practice involves the consumption of a still-magically-energized/only Mostly Dead dragon's heart... which is crystalline. (Ever heard those, like, old fashioned high fantasy stories where dragon's blood/etc etc had incredible magical/medicinal properties? Yes). 

So essentially, The Predecessor Dragon (red eyes spooky boi) sensed the magic of The Constant, kind of hoped it was another dragon, 'hacked' in, and instantaneously short-circuited and exploded for breaking Their magic rules. Leaving generally decomposable/unnoticeable fragments, but what magic remained seeks magic to share, and iT JUST SO HAPPENED A CERTAIN MAN FOUND A HEART SHARD BIG ENOUGH TO PICK UP AND

 

There are reasons I badmouth this work of fanfiction and they are numerous

ANywAY IF you actually read this far, (THANKS AND I LOVE YOU AND) I'm sorry, but only a little bit because,,,, seriously, you've read my fic, you coulda guessed it'd be needlessly dramatic, nonsensical and disgusting

AAAAAA YOU READ IT AND REPLIED AND EVERYTHING I'm delighted and impressed >w< 'cause that's a monster text post, so uh thank you

I think I remember Dragon Rider! Isn't that the one with silver dragons who feed on moonlight, breathe fire that reveals truth instead of burning, and most of them are turned to stone? A charming and good read, I'm flattered by the comparison! Perhaps there are some similarities, ehehe. I don't think I've read Inkheart :0 I should!
I take a lot of dragons/magic inspiration from Chris d'Lacey's The Last Dragon Chronicles and The Erth Dragons, I highly recommend both! :>

Eeeee, I'm! So pumped that you're pumped!!!!!   And OHOHOHOHO, you begin to see...!!   This is why probably my favorite thing about chapter 11 is the chapter title........! It has begun already----
