You have a dragon? I thought them only mythical, but really mythology has to stem from somewhere; generally of course it's a way to explain the unexplainable, or to give reason for things because humans have this knack for fearing chaos.
That all being said, I suppose certain mythical animals must hold some semblance of truth don't you? After all the Phoenix is spoken of in several religious texts and mythological scripts from all over the world, even places that should really have been ultimately broken away from one another at the time the concept of creating myths might have come up.
What's more, there's a tale of a dragon in nearly all areas of the world in their ancient texts somewhere, so I suppose it's more than plausible. What does it eat? How old is it? Does it actually breathe fire? That bit sounds a bit unbelievable to me, such a thing would ultimately lead to internal combustion.
Does it speak? Lots of tales of dragons seem to insist that they speak, which again is likely as evolution dictated us to be able to speak, it's only more than a little likely that another evolutionary track led another animal to speak. Then again they don't exist anymore so it must have lost its way somewhere...
All of that being said, he sounds brilliant. He is a he correct? They aren't asexual are they?
