Not entirely, but we decimated their population. Those that remain don’t have access to the magic they used to.” Quote Sorry for taking so long to reply... I couldn't find peace of mind to do it, and today was Shabbat, during which I can't use electronic devices... Nevermind. Galard started. "That's awful! But... I wouldn't put it beyond what some humans can do. How did the rest of the dragons lose their access to magic?" He frowned. "How magic works in your world anyway, that humans can't access it?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the rest of the dragons lose their access to magic?" He frowned. "How magic works in your world anyway, that humans can't access it?" Quote That's totally fine. I know the feeling. Klave shrugged. "I don't know why dragons can't use magic. my best guess is that only the oldest dragons could use their magic, beyond normal fire and flight of course. But I haven't been able to get any conclusive answers. Anyways, from what I can tell in my world things are either born with magic or without it. Most things are pretty normal, with only a few hints of magic. Others are completely infused with it, to the point that their forms are impossible to maintain without magic. Most humans have no magic at all. Rarely, some will be born with a tiny hint of magic, but that never goes beyond being slightly healthier and a bit more attuned to the magic around them." He frowned, expression distant. "Dragons are the opposite. They, like most other large predators, feed on magic, but they can also make it. Make it better than anything else. They're the most concentrated form of magic in the world, and since we destroyed so much of their population, they can't use a tenth of it to defend themselves." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Is that more filling than cattle, somehow?" He snorted, producing a line of smoke. But he was obviously disturbed by the revelation that in another world, his species reached near extinction. Galard frowned. "You talk about magic as if it's an essence or energy into itself. The magic I know is more about talent; though maybe dragons' fire-breathing works in a similar way." He looked thoughtful. "The magic I can use just manipulates the medium through which matter flows. It's not some kind of energy being produced." Quote Did I just randomly and somewhat thoughtlessly started explaining my magic system? Yes. Do I care? Not so much. This is an odd magic system, really. It probably shouldn't work outside of Galard's world (but so far it did), and probably shouldn't be able to do what I claim it does. But hey, let's see how it goes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it should be surprising that our worlds are similar enough to have dragons in them. You two, myself, and Bookwyrm all come from worlds with dragons. Odd, isn't it? Out of a group so small, so many of us have something in common." Quote Hey, expositioning your character's backstory is half the fun of RP'ing!

Said Lightning, settling to a point where he faced Klade, his head to Galard's right. "Well, Lightning," said Galard, turning to him, "I must disagree this time. You do remember they captured us both, right?" Lightning turned his head to Galard. "And I released us both! With my fire breath! What were you doing at the time, care to remind me?" "The same thing you were doing when a troll tied your wings, I'd guess, you hexamembraned reptilian!" Replied Galard. "That's not an answer. Or an insult. You're really bad at this." Said Lightning, chuckling. "Admit it. We dragons are superior." Galard just rolled his eyes and turned back to Klade. "To actually answer your question, trolls are humanlike creatures that live on and under the mountains surrounding the valley where I come from. They're averagely bigger than the tallest human, and aren't very smart. They eat most anything they can lay their hands on - they don't see eating humans or dragons as cannibalism, eating one of their own, though..." He sighed. "Being in their caves was an unpleasant experience, anyway. But it saved us from the hypnotic flesh-eating mountain goats." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I don't think this was what you said when we were on the mountains. I remember something more akin to a hypnosied growls. And a distinct distaste for goat-meat ever since." "Well, it isn't my fault if your memory is flawed." Said Lightning. "Really? If you want, I can probably ask Nath to conjure some goat meat for you. How would you like that?" "Oh, I would like that very much! But aren't you forgetting our guest? Really, Gal, I thought your short term memory, at least, was still functioning." "Don't you dare call me that agai-" started Galard, then paused, recalling that he really did had a guest. "I apologise. It appears hearing humans nearly wiped out his kind somewhere didn't do well with Lightning ego, so he feels duty-bound to raise it to it's former glory." "Hey!" Lightning protested. "I'm not-" "Anyway," Galard cut him in the middle, "we might as well go to lunch - I'm starving." "No you aren't, you just want me out of the loop again!" Complained Lightning. "We ate together, and I'm not hungry yet!" "That's because dragon and human digestion systems are different. You ate quite a lot this morning, Light." "Oh, come on!
