Veles 002 [day] [video]

[keeperofthederp]

[Veles has been in Promenade for a while now, long enough to know that barring Lioriley, he hated pretty much everyone here.  Loud, ungrateful, rude - just the tip of the iceberg, he could really go on for years about his distaste but dragons love knowledge and he'd like to know about other worlds and what they have.

Just don't ask how a dragon can

[ Voice, because he's staring. He has never seen a dragon before. ]

I've been called dragon many times before, but other than that, we don't have them in my world.

A shame. You're a very impressive sight.

[voice]

[keeperofthederp]

What are you then if they call you by that name?

[Oh but he's flattered. Very flattered. That hasn't really happened her so far.]

I thank you for the compliment. I am Veles.

[voice]

[plumedsnake]

A god. One of the shapes I take is that of a feathered serpent... which I guess would look like a dragon to someone who has never seen one before.

[ Why would anyone say anything bad about dragons. ]

I only speak the truth, Veles. In any case, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Quetzalcoatl.

[voice]

[keeperofthederp]

A feathered serpent is something I cannot say I have heard of before. I can see why the mistake would be made, if they confused feathers for wings.

[Because people are idiots.]

It is a pleasure to meet one who speaks sense and not vulgarities and empty threats.

OHSHI-

[Yeah, you take the cake for being the weirdest thing she's ever seen. She's rather intrigued, staring at her communicator.]

There's legends and myths and all sorts of stories about dragons in my world, but that's about it. None of them mentioned dragons could talk...

[keeperofthederp]

[Ah, one of the reactions he was expecting and the vulgarity exhibited by the inhabitants of this land.]

And how are the dragons portrayed in these legends, myths and tales? [Eyeroll and a heavy sigh.] I suppose we merely roar in anger then?

[takesitoutside]

Well, you can't blame the writer's. I mean, this was back during medieval times, people were afraid of their own shadows back then.

By your attitude I'm assuming they were wrong, hu?

[keeperofthederp]

Medieval times? [Travrra possesses no such thing; if anything it would be closer to earlier ages.]

There is a whole island of dragons where I call home. We speak, some travel to seek our aid or answers that we may hold. We are long-lived and we possess magic.

[godisaderp]

Woooooooow.

voice

[keeperofthederp]

Do you have nothing more articulate to offer?

voice

[godisaderp]

It's not like I get to see a ginormous dragon everyday! The ones back home don't normally grow that big.

voice

[keeperofthederp]

You have dragons then? Where do you hail from?

voice;

[lunardancing]

[ She remembers you mister dragon and she is still grumpy over the last time you talked. ]

They're real, and we fight with them. There's a few in myths too.

voice;

[keeperofthederp]

[Get used to it.]

I remember your voice. The one who carries beasts with her.

voice;

[lunardancing]

[ If she can deal with Cyrus...! ]

That's me, yeah.

voice;

[keeperofthederp]

What are your dragons like then? Different colours and abilities? Or are they different from your legends?

Video;

[itaidakimasu]

Mm...in my world, it depends on the country, ot regions. Most of Europe has tales like you said, I think. In Japan and Asia though, dragons sometimes are seen as gods, benevolent and protective spirits...that sort of thing.

Video;

[keeperofthederp]

Interesting, interesting.

[Veles can be benevolent; Lioriley failed in her tasks but he still travelled with her, still taught her, still cares for her well-being.]

Can you provide further details of these things?

Video;

[itaidakimasu]

...you mean like, the legends I know? Or, about the shrines? Or some of the paintings I've seen?

Video;

[keeperofthederp]

Anything and everything.

[He likes to know all the things.]
