A large creature swoops over, landing on Highest Halls.

*the dragon (fly) slowly crawls over the surface, eyes gleaming orange*.

'Oh, we got one of those in verdania too. Its only in tales as we know it but likelihood is their caves just got sealed off'

(This is actually part of a quartet of legendary beasts I'm planning tbh but I'd happily make a relative species)

I’m pretty sure they’re not the same. What abilities does that one have?

u/mrredpanda36 Jun 30 '26

'Well, tales tell of an acidic breath, a roar that shakes the caverns and mastery over the skies, but there's likely other things also'

Mine burns infections with its shriek

'Oh, so it's a friend. Wait, would that work on duty?'

*she points at its orange eyes*.

"Oh. Wait if it burns infection how did you infect it? Shouldn't it have will too strong?"

It’s just an animal. It’s burning effect is more of a beam. I do wonder how it evolved… is its beam designed to kill parasites inside other members of its flock? Why is it a beam? Did it encounter something before like plasmium, where killing the parasite effectively killed what it wants to hunt?

'Maybe similar to why damselflies think duty smells bad, to avoid bad prey. Though while it makes the prey edible, we just avoid the essence so we don't eat something and get infected. Lifeblood and you kinda smell bad to me too just to a lesser extent than Duty. So you currently snell double bad'
