Dragons, as you may have gathered from reading other parts of the site, are what I consider my specialty. I love to commune with them; their personalities are so varied! They are very intelligent, and they come from all walks of life, so to speak. In addition, they come in all ages, so it's not unheard of to grow up with a dragon.
Despite what some people say, dragons do not have personalities based on their color. This is racist, and I will stand by this statement. I have been shunned before, with claims that humans have been classifying dragons by color for thousands of years; there is evidence for me to refute that claim, but it's not worth the effort. All I have to say is that I don't believe it. Some color cultures may have general habits, but this can be as different between two red clans as between a red and blue clan.
Instead, I classify my dragons (those that I work with - I make no claim to owning them, obviously!) by their personalities. Note that this may be hard with young dragons; their personalities, like humans, will grow and morph over time as they get older. I will tell you every bit that I can about a dragon's personality, so that you will have an idea of if it will mesh with your own.
Dragons have their own reasons for being here. Most like to see this world, and being bound into a contract is the best way. Some of them genuinely enjoy helping humans. Some may have their own obscure goals, and others may be youths or even "eggs" given to human protection by their parents. Needless to say, these are real, living creatures. I think of myself more as a matchmaker than a seller, oftentimes, because the pairing of dragon to "master" is very in depth indeed!
I can't tell you what dragons look like, because they look so different. I can tell you what an individual looks like, of course, but there's no way to classify all dragons into one lump description. There are dragons that fit both the typical Western dragon, and those that fit the typical Eastern dragon. There are dragons that are furry, and those that are smooth skinned. There are dragons with manes, and those with two or more heads. However, the way I classify a "dragon" is through a few personal identifications - as no culture has gotten it exactly "right," since there is no "right"!
Dragons are creatures of great wisdom and lifespan. They are typically (though not always) multi-legged; even those classified as wyverns, from my own experience, will walk on the "hands" of their wings. They typically have a reptilian face, even if furry or sleek. Other than that, the classification is a bit ... difficult. Most creatures that I call dragons identify themselves as dragons in communicating with me, making my life much easier!
A dragon is a wonderful entity. It will bring you much joy, though it will of course have its own ups and downs. It will be a member of your family. Most dragons are fiercely loyal, and will protect you to the best of their ability. They will also seek to draw fortune your way, whether spiritually or materially.
However, a dragon may be a bit much for some people. Dragons can be very invasive, moving objects around in the physical realm when you're not looking (and sometimes when you are!), visiting you in your dreams, looking over your shoulder and generally being around when they're in a curious mood. A dragon is a real responsibility. If you aren't prepared for something so individual, you may consider something a little less ... dragony!
One thing that I, and more than likely you, have noticed is, quite frankly, there are as many opinions about the paranormal in this world as there are people. A lot consider this a bad thing, as there’s no set consensus on everything; you can’t just go and read one
I thought it might be a good idea to keep a blog. It seems like a popular thing to do, and I’ve always enjoyed journaling. That being said, I don’t know exactly if I’m going to be blogging about topics only relevant to the main subject matter of TTM (The
