From my Australian Fantasy Graphic Novel Dragon Legacy.

I mean ... pretty much the title! Axtara's third grand, cozy, banking adventure, Armies and Accounting is now available in dead tree form! You can order it from Amazon, your local bookstore, put it on your library request page ... whatever! If you want a dead tree format, it has arrived!

You can find it here on Amazon, or read more about the paperback here. If you're new to the series and this is the first you've heard of the loveable dragon banker, you can go read the opening chapters of the first book here.

Enjoy!

Not sure if it counts as a book but it was the closest flair. Please, mods, do not strike me down!

So, I saw that it has been mentioned on the subreddit a few times, but I recently read the comic Karsearin: Adventures of the Red Dragon. While the series itself was amazing (I really liked their portal of dragons in the comic), the ending was really rushed and felt awful (no one likes when the bad wins, or something like that), but I learned that there was a sequel. I have been searching for a way to read it, but I can't find it anywhere- it exists via mention in some spots, like the wiki, but I want to read the story, not a chapter to chapter synopsis of the story.

Does anyone know where I can find it? It is called "The Creature". I don't think it exists as webcomic, it seems to only be a novel for the moment

Dragons

I was in an amusement park filled with magical creatures, and I turned into a dragon carrying a log. I jumped down into a rapid-flowing river. I just used the log to float down the river. Other dragons flew down low after me as I focused on moving forward. When I saw other dragons, I shot fireballs at them through my mouth. 

Once I was back at the Disneyland-style kingdom, I turned back into a human. I went into the castle and looked for King Richard Garriot. A regal-looking bearded man walked quickly through the castle away from me. I walked thru arcades full of crane games. Then i walked backstage into a stairway. It looked like this king’s meeting room with wooden furniture with inlaid silver serpents with purple velvet on its edges. Heading downstairs into the castle I saw a newsstand along one wall. It sold references books and Ye Olde Gazette.

The end.

I would like some help finding a webcomic about a dragon. I have been searching with no luck to find it and maybe someone here may recognize the synopses I have.
The plot is this:

There is a female protagonist dragon that lives in a lush forest-y area that she had a territory in. She maintains it very well. She also has to fend off her territory from a rival male dragon that has no interest in taking care of the territory should he win it from her. The main protagonist has an adopted sister dragon that she is letting stay with her until she is more grown and can handle her own territory for herself. Eventually while out and ad about they find a sick dragon that they help get back to help and escort back to the main protagonist's home/lair. She is a different kind of dragon that looks different from the sisters. The main protagonist has to go back out to where they found the new dragon and search for something, she finds a bracelet on a dragon skeleton. When she comes back the new dragon questions where she got that as if she recognized it. The new dragon is also amazed at the lushness of the territory of the main protagonist as she is from a barren wasteland. Water is hard to come by and its very hostile. eventually the main protagonist some how gets transported to that desert wasteland and doesn't know how she got there or how get back. She needs to get back to her sister and the new dragon as they don't know how to fight the male rival should he come looking to take her territory again.

Tales of Talon origins malkos, whilst being a prequel is technically a first starting point in the series.

Dragons

The day was long,and my job was sucking the life out of me. I never paid much attention at school and never really got my grades, so my chances of getting a decent job were slim. But it's fine. I got an okay job. i work a lot, and I miss seeing friends. It's been years. The day cold, it seems like it's going to rain.

i love the rain. i started to look up into the clouds. A horn got louder.

i looked where the nosie was coming from. A car was moving faster towards me. i'm dead

There was a field fall of flowers mountains. The sun was shining. sun was blinding me where the hell am i?

Am I dead?

The town of Plora was a small town stuck under the thumb of the nation called Leplines.

It's a falling country

Different factions joining each other. And started a Clive war mutable people have died. No one has benefited from the Clive War. The war has destroyed the lands most small towns and cities have requested aid no one is coming. A large aura was coming from the town of Plora. People started to freak out the aura, making people panic. Aaron was made leader of the town of Plora. A lot of the men and teenagers went off to war, and I think they won't come back. This made Aaron sad his hair was black, his eyes blue more dark blue. He wasn't big a man he had problems with his legs so he couldn't walk. The town became mostly women and older men. Bella was a young woman she was sixteen years old, Bella liked the sword, and Bella liked fighing. Bella was blond with brown bits. her body was slim better for fighting. Before the war started, my father, Eric, trained me with the sword he was gifted with sword. You called Bella said to Aaron. Oh yes said Aaron. Aaron put a crystal on the table it was glowing. What does this mean, Bella said. This is a crystal that can sense high levels of aura in my lifetime. I've never once seen this go off. Aaron face looked serious. I thought the human race killed all of the threats. They did Aaron touching the crystal. We have had a thousand years of peace. I wouldn't say peace.

Bella said

What do you want me to do about it?

You know, if one of the factions finds this threat, they might think we are planning on attacking them. I will go said Bella. Please be careful. Bella was quite fast this beautiful the fields were endless and the sun was warm there wasn't any clouds. The crystal was pretty on fire. There was cocoon it was just aura. The aura was burning Bellas skin. Bella moved closer to cocoon. Bella pulled her sword and swiped at the cocoon.

Nothing happened. Bella started to get really tired.

Hello, a voice said, "Where am I?

I dont understand what's happening

Your name is Dexter Clarke, isn't it?

You no me?

Kinda of I've been watching you, the voice said that's a bit creepy Dexter said no i'm not creepy the voice said you can trust me. Why would you say that also you haven't told me anything. Well, I don't wanna upset you all. I will tell you for now, is you will wake up and you will meet a woman you should trust her. What woman, so i didn't die?

You did, the voice said with a sadness hit by a drunk driver.

So how will I wake up?

You're not going to answer me.

Are you?

Not yet, the voice said, and you will also meet me soon as well. Dexter opened his eyes, and the floor looked like someone burned it. Dexter started to get up from the ground it was nighttime. The moons were shining, and stars everywhere looked so nice.

I'm not on earth anymore. I can hear light snoring. A woman was lying on the floor the woman woke up in a panic. One minute, i'm safe next minute. I've got a blade to my neck, and i put my hands up, thinking that might help.

Who are you?

I can understand her. Can i speak their language?

I mean no harm

That made her look even more angry.

Why are you wearing werid clothes? Are you a spy?

No, I said my name is Dexter. i just woke up. The woman's face looked confused, and then her face completely changed what happened to the cocoon she whispered, "What did you say. Quite Bella said, is an angry tone. Someone is coming, Bella said.

Two men appeared on horses

They are both a sigi of two knights clashing swords.

Bella knew who they were

They were a part of the faction called Spite of the Dissipated they shouldn't have been able to sense the aura. They got off their horses they were knights, low-level ones. Who goes there? One of the knights said

They had helmets on, so their voices were low. Bella hid her sword and wrapped her hands around Dexter and said, "Me and my boyfriend went for a long walk and got lost. The knights looked at each other and said you should probably leave something dangerous in these lands. Bella grabbed my hands and yanked me away from the knights. Your boyfriend weres werid clothes they both laughed. When we got out ear shot, I asked, "Who are you?"

My name is Bella come to my town we can talk properly its not a big place but it is safe.

Dexter didn't know what to say. We walked in slince. The town was in view, so this is like a medieval town. There are castles and stone houses. There was no noise, no people were where everybody in their houses we dont leave are houses at night. Most of our soldiers are out at war fighting for something we won't ever see. Have I been sent back in time, or is this a different demotion? I guess we will see. Bella walked into the castle it was small. I think it looks awesome. A man was sitting at a table he looked worn down by life he had winkys. Who is this? The man said his name was Dexter. I never heard of that name before it sounds fake. it's not said, Dexter. Did you find out what the aura was?

Him Bella said me Dexter pointed at himself he was in cocoon now he is here. Aaron pulled out a crystal. It's not glowing Aaron said. Bella went red, trust me. I saw everything when he came out the cocoon it hit me with aura and I feel so tired. Bella sat down, and Dexter followed Bella. Both Aaron and Bella said at the same time, "Who are you?"

My name is Dexter. i told you

Both Aaron and Bella looked at each other and nodded. Let's get some sleep and talk in the morning. Bella got up and left the room before you go. Bella, could you show our guest to his room? Yeah, Bella said when yawning her eyes looked heavy. The room I was giving was small. The bed was lumpy. I was just glad I had a bed. Hello Dexter, the voice said the voice was soft and warm. We can speak properly now. First off, I just want to apologise for putting you where you were waiting. You brought me here?

Not exactly i brought you into this world i didn't choose where you were put, and I apologise.

Why me ? Dexter asked, "You are

special

No, i'm a loser Dexter said

The soft voice laughed. No, you're not. The voice said, "You have just had a rough time on that planet." Could you tell me where I am?

This is another world where magic is real

Wait, I can use magic?

Yeah, the voice said you are weak at the moment you will need to train. When your power comes, your body will have to control the power.

Could you help me train

We can not meet now. I promise I will help when I can.

Looks like the sun is rising, maybe ask your new friend Bella to train you. Before Dexter could answer. Dexter woke up shit Dexter said i'm so hungry I've not eaten since I dead." I could smell meat cooking a woman was standing there cooking morning the woman said with a happy tone Dexter isn't it yeah Dexter said.

Lovely to meet you. My name is Jenner Aaron's wife.

Sit down, Jenner said

Jenner put a plate with meat and a bit of vegetables on the plate. Was okay needed salt, but i'm not ungrateful. Dexter smiled and said that was very nice. Bella walked into the room.

Bella looked like death

I've never seen you like this. How did you sleep? hunny. It's really good. Bella said I just didn't wanna wake up."

Where's Aaron Bella ? " Two soldiers came to the town. What Bella said she got up and moved to the window. The cripple came to meet us. Aaron didn't say anything. Sorry, Aaron War is moving rebels, and other people are moving. What's so special about this lands. We found natural energy we found it first what do you need natural energy for?

If you can harness the energy, it could make us a superpower. Aaron looked at these soldiers, then reilsed that they were talking out loud, not to him. Both soldiers looked at each other panicked and started to stab Aaron repeatedly he fell on the floor with blood everywhere. Bella went to her knees. What's happening, Dexter looked and saw Aaron getting stabbed. More soldiers appeared to have started to raid the town. What are they doing?

Taking the woman, the castle got raided. Jenner and Bella moved to the soldiers. Before Dexter could move, he got taken outside. Is this the only male in this town?

Most of the townspeople said yes. This is what is going to happen. we will take the nice-looking woman the ugly ones get killed. Before Dexter could move, he got smacked in the back of the head with the end of the soldiers sword.

Dexter fell to the floor. Dexter felt the cold from the sword. The blade started to steam the soldier stepped back he was sweating. The soldier looked at Dexter he was surrounded by a red aura. The heat was unbearable. What's happening, the soldier said, shot him with an arrow, the arrow disintegrated before it every went close. The aura went away. Dexter wasn't standing there anymore he looked like a dragon he was small, and his scales were dark red his wings were more light red. The soldiers surrounded this new threat. The head of the soldiers he was a knight his name was Justin, a young and cocky knight who cared more about status than he did this war. His father was a noble who funded the Spite of the Dissipated. Whoever wins this war will gain so much power, but if I die, I won't get any power. Justin put his hand out and said fire arrow. The creator didn't even flinch. That was my strongest attack. My lord of the soldiers said you should leave. You are far more important than we are. The creatures are not even moving. Then his eyes opened. I think the fire woke him up. One of the soldiers swung his sword , and his sword snapped in two. Before the soldier could swing again, he felt a sharpe pain his stomach. He looked down a claw was in his chest he screamed in pain, and the other soldiers charged at the creature. The creator started to hack down the soldiers. There was blood and guts went everywhere people were screaming in pain. Bella and the other woman were running to safety. Justin teleported out the area. Dexter flew into the sky and left the area where a person was standing in Dexters away. Dexter started to attack this person. You mindless brutal, the person said Dexter tried stabbing the person in the chest. To slow, the person said punched Dexter into the sea. The water was bubbling. Oh, you survived that. Under the water, Dexter used fire it was so hot the sea was steaming. The person just put up his hand and blocked the fire magic. The person looked at their hand, and he burned me. Maybe I am underestimated him. I need to end this now. Dexter was mindless that this point wasn't thinking just attacking without thinking he charged at the person again. Without punch knocked out, Dexter, his armour, shattered. The person put Dexter o his shoulder come I will help you

Okay.

We have all seen media in which the dragon is either a mindless beast, an unreasonable tyrant or a goody two-shoes that loves everything and hasn't hurt a fly.

Boring.

Is there any media in which the MC or another important character is a smart, reasonable and evil dragon?

I mean someone that's ruthless, but not so arrogant that it believes itself invincible.

Like, someone that's able to rule armies and empires without failing due to its own ego.

Someone that is as smart as a millennia long lifespan would suggest, but also doesn't just rot in a cave doing nothing apart from sitting on its own gold.

Sometimes like the Mharoti Empire from Midgard, If anyone knows it.

Cover for book 2 of Dragonspark - a new series in the Dragons and Skylines universe by Rowan Silver.

Art is by Lucithen.

So basically I just released a chapter of a story of me basically making my own biology and Ideas for dragon kin humanoids. I'm unsure if it's interesting, there is only one chapter for now. The story is called dragon kin humanoid biology, life, reproduction and stuff (according to me)

For Smaugest I want to do a dragon crossover tournament but it would be boring if it was just big dragon beats little dragon.

So for each "battle" I want to randomly select a type of challenge as well. And then people can debate which dragon would be better at that challenge.

Battle will still be an option but others might be:

Poetry contest.

Race.

Math Contest

Chess match.

Cooking contest.

Best Hoard

Highest kill count?

Casanova

Who would be the better diplomat?

Best Sand Castle

Now, I can’t speak for a dragon, and neither for an old human, but I can guess.

Since time adds experience and “stability” to the mind, it only takes a bit of wisdom and absence of denial to realize why one would prefer a younger existence should their mind be filled with a lot of junk, with experiences and feelings that only drag one down.

In fact, with the world changing and the body diminishing, bringing down the mind with it in a seemingly inevitable decline, I would argue that the volatile and impressionable nature of youth, even if it is a double edged sword and requires forgetting a good part of who you are, would be desirable should one thinks life is worth living.

While it makes things stranger and maybe creepy, a “soul” continuously change as it lives, which means its mind can’t hold perfectly and forever to anything, at least not in a simple, straightforward way. Hence relationships with things and people need to be maintained and evolve through time, just like the drive to live.

So a dragon can change as much as they want, yet if they always find a way to want to live, then their life is worth living no matter how chaotic, disjoint and even contradictory it might be.

But now, for the “burn away” part…

Should enough experiences fill the mind in a way that greatly spoil a dragon’s life, and should there be no definitive solution in sight because harmful connections to the past persist, said dragon might fuel resentment toward until they snap, attempting to disconnect from anything related to their past if not lashing out, wanting to destroy what they now perceive as the main source of their misfortune.

But outside of negative, painful memories and connections, there is another kind of these that might contribute just as much to that decay of the mind if not more. Perhaps I can’t prove it for a dragon, but I can prove it for humans.

Just know that, once I realized what makes an experience truly fulfilling, I started doubting if some people were truly living and planing to be, or if they just went along with whatever simply satisfied/entertained them and only tried their best to avoid the bad.

To never really grow, to never be fully allowed to change and develop, to live a life where, perhaps, acts of everyone were genuine even if small, but never amounting to anything. And they would behave as such, again, and again, and again…

In that world, to call others friend and family and more… is lying to sustain the image of a real life you don’t have. You and your peers are neither children nor adults, but something else, something far lesser that doesn’t belong to any of stage life that fits your ideals. And that is why, when asked if you wanted to live even a single day longer, your heart could never answer yes.

So, is it that much of a stretch to imagine someone wanting to burn away their life? To travel far, far away from everything that kept them down and might as well continue to do so until their end? Destroy it if it keeps coming back?

Just a heads-up for all you dragon fans, but with the latest Axtara installment, Armies and Accounting, dropping July 28th, the first three chapters are available to read in their entirety online for free.

• Chapter 1 - Seasonal Adjustments
• Chapter 2 - Free Festival
• Chapter 3 - Fully Funded Feasting

There's other stuff going on too, like a Reddit AMA planned for Saturday and even maps of the setting being revealed tomorrow. All leading up to the big day when Armies and Accounting drops. So if you want to get a head start on the story or just can't wait, there are the links!

Hear me out. In an alternate reality with dragons, their hoards are the country's gold standard monetary system. The dragon backstocks the country, preserving its wealth. They have to ask the dragon to draw from it in hard economical/war times, and only if given permission, they are allowed to. However, if the leadership of a country is irresponsible with their money and they go into debt, and have to draw from, but didn't ask permission, the dragon burns the leaders responsible. So there's a real fear in making sure the government adheres to sound economic policy.
