They should toss it inside!

Toss!

It sounds like dragons and humans here fight a lot, is that right?

Permalink

Oooooh shiny. Yes, humans and dragons kill each other.

Permalink

If humans stopped trying to kill you, would you be okay with not killing them either?

Permalink

A sharp and clear memory, darkness and warmth and soothing telepathy, filled with loss and nostalgia.

The second lesson is that you must kill. If you do not kill and eat, your music will be silence. If nothing died, there would be no room for anything to be born. Kill what you must to eat. Kill what grows rampant and consumes all else.

That last part definitely describes humans.

My civilization just met the humans on this planet. I don't know if you would like other human planets, but some are very different from this one, and the humans on them wouldn't want to hurt a dragon.

???

?????????????

This is the planet! Mother Earth and Father Sun!

Permalink

There are a lot of planets in a lot of worlds. Would you like to see pictures?

Permalink

That's not what she was taught. Maybe they are confused. Maybe it will help her understand weird human things though so yes.

Permalink

Here are some pictures of different planets, seen from the sky high above them! This is the one they're on right now, this is the one the Elf came from - My planet is flat for magical reasons - and here are some more besides. These aren't drawings, they're 'photographs'. Would you like me to take a photograph of you so you can see how it works?

Permalink

That is not what she was expecting! She was expecting- Mental image of sunlight glistening off a brook full of colorful round pebbles.

Permalink

- huh. You were expecting the planet to be in a stream?

Permalink

No! They can use (osanwe) so obviously they are not just another dumb human so why are they trying to trick her with some boxlightthing??

(The dragon's fear and anxiety and frustration are getting pretty strong again.)

Permalink

Oh, you were expecting mental images? I can do those if you prefer.

Permalink

Yes, mental images. Mostly because looking at the matter images would require coming out of her den for a closer look and being EVEN MORE SCARED.

Permalink

Okay. Ainunceon will relay mental images instead of the various planets.

Permalink

...Awe.

...The stars are so beautiful like that.

...Multiple Mother Earths? She knew the Onesong* was much bigger than this valley, but it must be even bigger than she ever imagined.

*The multiverse/everything that exists/all of creation

Permalink

There are many stars and many planets around the stars in most worlds, and there are many worlds! Humans are surprisingly common but dragons are special and cool.

Permalink

Dragons ARE special. Dragons are THE BEST. It's so annoying that there are more humans. They should go away, (Mother said) Sun gave this world to the dragons and then the humans showed up and ruined everything.

Permalink

That sounds so frustrating! Does it seem like it might be important to ending the cycle of violence that it be known precisely when and how humans showed up?

Permalink

...She is maybe not the best dragon to talk about this. She doesn't actually know more than what her mother and the other dragon she met last year told her. (It's clearly very annoying to admit to this.)

Permalink

Okay. Ainunceon can ask other people to talk to other dragons. She is still hoping to make sure that this dragon is safe. She has some co-workers talking to the nearest humans, but it's good to have both sides of the story.

Permalink

Well she clearly stayed here way too long! She is going to take her things and leave and look for another territory to claim far away from humans. They can tell those hunters she smells sniffing closer and closer to her den that she is GONE. Tomorrow, when she is actually gone, that is.

Permalink

Okay. Would she like to be visited again in the future? (With more shiny things?)

Permalink

For more shiny things, definitely! They shouldn't sneak up on her though, they should announce themselves and see if she wants to come talk.

...She can teach them the Song of Annunciation for another shiny thing right now actually.
