They were glorious and iridescent. They were incredibly strong, with
huge taloned hind legs upon which they reared in intimidation, and sharply
clawed forelegs that killed with a single swipe. They possessed long powerful
tails ending in lethal arrow-headed stings and breathed fire as told in
fairytales universes over. Unlike earthly fire, if a dragon’s breath touched
water it burned more fiercely. Yes, they were Dragons. Scaled, tough, clever
and beautiful in their jewelled hues, and terrifying.
They mastered flight, evolving a pair of leathery, sharply pointed
wings, before they mastered speech. As flying Dragons they were unstoppable,
but as flying Dragons with speech and intellect they were conquering royalty,
and this was borne out when each proclaimed himself king of his territory. They
were highly territorial, but their realm was limitless.
At first.
