Winston park

redandvelvet — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 10:23:42 CDT

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
You walk into the park on the street to the left of you. The pak is gorgous, covered with books like the street you just came off of. There are huge trees everywhere, with leaves like small rainbows. You look to your left and see two signs pointing towards a narrow path. The first sign reads: this way to the lake of truth. The second one says: This way to the garden of kindness. You look to your right and you see another sign like the other ones except it reads: This way to the great oak of wisdom. You look straight ahead of you and see three gnomes enjoying the shade of a large tree the likes of wich you have never seen before. You smile at them and continue on your way when one of them stops you and says "Welcome to Winston park! I hope you enjoy your stay here in Raingal. Where would you like to go?"

Dragon slideshows

redandvelvet — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 13:02:06 CDT

Under construction

This page is entirely devoted to slide shows. All the pictures have absolutely no obscene pictures or words. Enjoy!

(Page may take a while to load)

This slide show shows a few pictures saved from the library of Telgon, a city in another world. The library burned down because of a young dragon with a cold. Thankfully the west wing survived, but all the other wings were sadly destroyed. The last picture, titled "Galderon, a beloved friend" is a picture of a friend of mine who sadly passed away of incredibly old age. Enjoy!

By redandvelvet

This is the slide show of some of the ancient dragons that once walked this earth. Once the guided tour of dragons is finished( you can find that on the navigation box. Just look for The history of dragons: a guided tour.) Then you can learn more about the different dragons.

By redandvelvet

This is another collection of pictures saved from the library at Telgon. They are of famous wizards and creatures who aided the dragons in all times of need.

Chamaelon, by redandvelvet

This slide show is allot like the one above, only different.

Another variation of the Chamaelon slide show.

The Riddle Gallery

redandvelvet — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:35:15 CDT

This is The Riddle Gallery. I once knew a wise dragon named Galderon whose picture is to the left. He always loved stories and riddles, so whenever I went to meet him, I would bring a book of riddles with me. Alas, Galderon is no more, but his memory will always remain. I dedicate this page to him. You may contribute to this page by leaving a comment containing your riddle. I will then transfer your riddle to the main page. If you are unsure of how to add a comment then click help. Your riddles do not have to be of dragons, or even fantasy, because riddles are riddles, and dragons are fine with any. Please place your answers backwards under your riddle. Thanks!

Concealed and shielded behind much, difficult to spot.
I am like bug and sickness; I am contagious not always wanted,
Though I am small, they fear me greatly, for I might leave them haunted.
At times I am tough to keep, my master forced to let me free,
Then I rupture and soar around and they converse regarding me.
I may be friend or foe, servant or teacher,
I am like a bird; I want to be free creature.
What am I?

Magical Tales Of Faraway Places

Welcome to the gallery of stories.

Anyone can come here and add their stories. (you can also add poems)

(If you are unsure of how to do this, just click "Help" in the upper right corner of the screen)

There are no text limits, and your stories don't have to be about dragons, as long as they have magic in them.

Please separate your stories from others by placing a line of dots at the end of your story which I will replace with a page divider.

All these poems and stories have been written by people like you, so please be kind and don't claim them as your own. They belong to those who wrote them.

Thank you

The Dragon who could not fly

The little dragon sat on the hill,

watching the farmer till,

He looked over the land and up at the sky,

Letting out a pitiful sigh,

Wishing, wishing, that he could fly!

All the other little dragons could,

He felt like he could and should,

But every single time he tried,

He thought back and sighed.

All I’m good for is nothing, he thought,

Oh, how he wished he could fly!

He walked home to his families cave,

And walked up to his mother,

He asked her yet again, "mother, why can’t I fly?"

She sighed and said " sweet, be brave, Why don’t you ask your brother?"

He walked up to his brother and asked him why?

But all his brother had to say was " go away!"

For his brother was in quite a temper.

As the little dragon went back to his hill, He could not help but whimper, And poof!

There suddenly appeared a wondrous fairy named Jill,

Who told him why,

Why he could not fly, and the answer was quite simple!

"Well" she said "You can not fly because you are to young"

By redandvelvet

The very first dragon

The star in the western corner,

was shining ever so brightly,

while the star in the eastern corner,

was falling from the sky.

The star in the northern corner,

was blinking rapidly,

and the star in the southern corner,

was smiling happily.

The stars, they were a family,

all four of them united,

till the dreadful day,

when the eastern star fell.

everyone saw it,

and everyone wept.

But someone was rejoicing,

one little boy in a far away place,

He had found a friend.

impervious to all heat and flame,

the dragon crept out of it's shell.

The atmosphere of our very own earth,

had hatched him at last.

His mother was the star itself,

who had died to give him life,

his father was magic,

wise and never aging,

and he was the very first dragon.

Taken from "the myths of the west", a wizards journal. (by redandvelvet)

( While this poem is rather nice , it is sadly not true.

The first dragon was not a hatchling born by a star.

To learn about the real first dragon visit "the history of dragons: a guided tour")

Nightime adventures

Stella crept silently out of bed, her bare feet making no sound on the cold stone floor. She tiptoed past the sleeping forms on the bed near her, hoping they would not wake. As she slowly opened the door of the dormitory her heart filled with dread.
Just outside the door was the cat Jared and three other cats whom she dud not recognize. Stella knew that one mewl from any of them would wake the matron whose room was parallel to the dormitory. She would be in allot of trouble if she was found out of bed so late, especially on Samhain.
Stella rummaged in her pocket: her fingers were like lumps of ice, but she knew that there was only one thing that could distract the cats. Finally her numb fingers collided with a small box. She pulled it out and opened it, being careful not to make any noise. Inside were two bags of catnip, pilfered from the matrons room. (The matron owned Jared.) Stella grabbed one and threw it to Jared and the other cats. Jared skilfully leaped up and caught the bag, then began to bat at it, occasionally letting his friends play to.
Stella decided that the cats were to busy to mewl, and that the soft scratching sounds of them playing were better then the high pitched whine that would be sure to echo through the stone building.
She hurried down the hall treading softly. She came to a stop a large blue door. Pushing it open, she stepped into the familiar courtyard. Looking up she saw that the moon was about halfway across the dark velvet sky. I'm late!
She thought frantically. Forgetting all caution, she ran across the courtyard, her long brown hair trailing behind her.
At the far end of the yard was a giant rusty iron gate. None of the other girls at the orphanage had dared go near it, for two reasons. 1) The matron would be displeased, a thing all the girls tried desperately to avoid.
2) Whatever lay behind that door was bound to be different, and all the girls hated difference. Except Stella.
When Stella arrived at the door she ran up to it and , grabbing on of the rusty old rings, gave an almighty heave. Breathless, both from running and from the extreme weight of the door, she stepped out of the courtyard and closed the door behind her, shutting away the unpleasant orphanage.
Stella was now on a narrow dirty lane, foggy like everywhere else in London, that snaked through the city. She looked up and down the alley. No-one. She sighed and turned back towards the gate. I guess he got tired of waiting, she thought. Just as she began to push the heavy door back open she heard a light airy voice say "Stella, there you are! I've been waiting for ages."
Stella spun around in excitement, her heart beating rapidly. He is still here!, she thought.
A little boy, around eight or nine, walked up to Stella. He was wearing a dirty brown tunic that fell to his knees, with a leather belt strapped to his waist. Long black hair, as dark as a night with no moon, fell to his shoulders. One would not assume he was the prince of Alnagia, heir to the throne.
Stella apologized for being late, and then asked him the question she had been wanting to ask him for hours. "Is this it?". The boy nodded, and his unusual silver eyes glinted in the moonlight. "It is." he answered.
So together they walked, chatting about their other adventures together, and how much fun they'd had. As they walked, the moon growing closer to the edge of the sky, the boy began to glow. Stella stopped walking and asked again, "Is this it?". The boy nodded once more, and slipped his hand into hers. They quickened their pace and walked off this world, leaving the foggy streets of London behind, and slipping into the home world of the boy.
An onlooker would have seen a young girl and boy, walking side by side, slowly disappearing as they walked, until they weren't there anymore. That onlooker might have shook their head and rubbed their, dismissing it as a trick of the light, or a figment of their imagination, brought on by the late hour. But you and I both know, the two children walked away into a world of magic, and this time, they never came back.

The portal of Runeworld

Anonymous — Fri, 18 May 2007 14:34:09 CDT

This page contains an age old power, the portal of Runeworld. (Runeworld is a small world far away from earth where the bronze dragons live) The portal is a link to a place thought to be legend by everyone outside Runeworld. The dragons of Runeworld kept it a secret, until at the moment i have put a good runescape dor you
now. Where, you may ask, does this portal lead? To the "mythical" land of Raingal, an entire world devoted to books. All the records are kept there, of battles, of places, of dragons and elves, fairys and wizards. Almost everything ever written is there. So come in, step through the portal. Witness history like never before.

(This page is different from the history of dragons: an evergrowing novel beacause it is not a novel, it's actually profiles of Magical creatures, as well as an archive of information about places and artifacts.)

A dragon biography: Seldari, dragon king of the sunset country

redandvelvet — Thu, 03 May 2007 14:01:19 CDT

Welcome to the biography of Seldari. Unfortunatly I have not finished writing the biography yet and this part of the site is not up yet. It should be up soon though so keep checking back!

The dragon king Seldari was once a simple young dragon who was raised on Runeworld as a peasant. He had no parents, no inheritence, no property to speak of. How, you may ask, did he become king with no claim to the throne? It's really rather simple. He took the throne with force.

It happened on a quiet summer day. He was flying through the skys of eastern Runeworld, searching for his sister, when he saw a brightly flashing light on the ground. The closer he came to it the more he realized what it was. It was a spell.

All dragons can see spells. They are the children of magic, they can see magic in any form. To them it always looks like silver strands of silk like material, floating along what are called "lay lines", rivers of magic. Runeworld was not well known for lay lines, they had all been sucked dry years ago, by a war between magic users. The war ended up being meaningless anyways, the wizards had fought for Runeworld beacause of the magic there, but they sucked the rivers they were fighting for completly dry. They had to leave, for magic users cannot cast spells witout magic. Seldari knew all this, and flew closer for a better look.

The Dragon Treasury

redandvelvet — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 14:43:10 CDT

This is the dragon treasury. It used to be the treasury of Galderon,(a dear dragon friend who passed away of incredibly old age) but when he died it went to his heir. It is now the treasury of his son Danar. (pronounced Dane-are) Many precious stones and piles of gold can be found here. There is only one rule for you to follow while gazing upon the glittering gems: do not steal from the dragons, do not plunder their gold, many men have tried this feat, many men wise and elite, but none have lived to be old. For if you steal and survive the dragons breath, the dragons curse shall follow.
