For a few minutes, they watched the fireworks rise and explode above the skyline, transfixed by the blossoming, dancing lights, which reflected on the dark water below. Then, Jaya smiled and turned to his date again, hoping he sounded smoother and more confident than he felt.

"Lady Kalara, I've had a wonderful evening, and hope that my humble efforts to amuse you have been successful. I know I promised you the biggest fire blossom in the entire city-" He gestured to the fireworks, one of which was bursting in the shape of a golden flower.

And then, with a hint of a sly grin and a gesture that Kalara didn't quite see, he produced something from behind him. "…But it felt only right to make sure you received a real one as well."

Drawn as a Valentine's Day/Matchmaker art exchange for @theuncrucified It's up in the air whether a Wood Aspect Dragonblood (he's Lookshyan, not a Dynast, calm down) and a big scary Anathema mesh well... but at least it looks like it was a nice evening!

Land of Dragongeim and their Dragonriders

My OC land and more for Black clover

DragongeimDragongeim is a cold, rugged land far to the north of the clover kingdom, where blizzards rage for months and the sun barely graces the skies during the winter months. The land is dotted with towering mountains, vast tundras, and deep forests filled with mythical creatures. The people are tough and resilient, having learned to survive in the harshest of conditions. They are a proud race, some are descendants of dragon-riders and warriors who share a bloodline with these mighty creatures. Dragongeim has a rich history of dragon bonding, but the people’s most revered tradition is the preservation of their ancient bloodline—the Dragonblood, which is thought to give them the strength, courage, and power to survive in the unforgiving world. In Dragongeim people are born withou magic, but have a lot of naturale mana. 

The dragon riders: 

Nyxara Rhys(Leader - Pride)

Appearance: Nyxara stands out with her messy blond hair (she got that from her father Julius, our dear wizard king), in a thick braid, and dark gray eyes. Her Viking-like appearance is marked by a robust, athletic build. She often dons practical, battle-ready attire suited for both dragon riding and combat. She’s rarely without a mischievous grin. She wields a self crafted bow and thin arrows, her preferred weapon. The bow allows her to channel her time magic through it, making her strikes both precise and deadly.

Personality: Nyxara is known for her loud and brash demeanor, qualities stemming from her upbringing in a competitive and wild environment. She is highly intelligent and often challenges authority, particularly in relation to her strained relationship with King Alaric. Despite her tough exterior, Nyxara is fiercely loyal and protective of those she cares about.. Her pride comes from her desire to see her team succeed, and she takes their victories personally.

Dragon: Thalorian is a magnificent dragon with shimmering iridescent scales that reflect deep blue and silver hues. His powerful, broad wings make him swift and agile in flight, while his connection with Nyxara enhances both their abilities. When combined with Nyxara’s time magic, the two become an unstoppable force, striking with both precision and elemental fury. Together, they create chaos in the skies, embodying the wrath of a storm and the flow of time.

Roderick (Second-in-command - Greed)

Appearance: Roderick has platinum blond long hair tight half way up. He has a sharp, piercing eye and a lean, athletic build. He wears an eye patch on his right eye. He lost it when he tried to claim a dragon. Despite his serious appearance, he always has a cheery, naughty expression, showing his softer side for those around him.

Personality: Roderick’s greed isn’t for wealth or power—it's for his comrades’ success. He’s constantly pushing the others to be the best version of themselves. A perfectionist at heart, he wants everything and everyone around him to reach their maximum potential. He’s supportive and often acts like an older brother to the group, always nudging them to try harder. His “greed” is for a stronger, united team.

Dragon: Gullinbursti – This golden dragon may look flashy, but its true wealth is in its unwavering loyalty and strength. Roderick and Gullinbursti are a team that always focuses on pushing limits, always wanting more from each other and from the world around them.

Bjorn (Wrath) -The Giant with a Heart of Gold

Appearance: A giant man with a wide, infectious smile, Bjorn’s bright blue eyes twinkle with warmth and mischief. His large frame might be intimidating, but he’s more like a friendly bear who enjoys making others laugh.

Personality: Despite embodying Wrath, Bjorn is one of the most cheerful and laid-back of the group. He loves telling stories, laughing heartily, and making sure everyone around him is happy. His anger only surfaces when his friends or loved ones are in danger. When that happens, the shift from jovial Bjorn to an unstoppable force is shocking to everyone around him.

Dragon: Surtur – A fiery red dragon with a playful streak, Surtur loves to engage in fiery games of strength. However, when the stakes are high, Surtur’s flame and fury match Bjorn’s fierce loyalty to his friends.

Eamon (Sloth) The Lazy Genius

Appearance: A slender man with shaggy brown hair and a perpetually relaxed demeanor. Eamon always looks like he’s about to take a nap, but his eyes sparkle with quiet intelligence.

Personality: Eamon may seem lazy on the surface, but his "sloth" is actually a form of calculated efficiency. He conserves his energy, waiting for the exact right moment to act. Often found lying in a sunny spot, he’ll surprise everyone when he effortlessly solves problems or fights with incredible precision, as though he’s been planning every move while appearing not to care. He’s strategic in a way that keeps everyone guessing.

Dragon: Nidhogg – A slow-moving, massive dragon that mirrors Eamon’s demeanor. But when called upon, Nidhogg shows incredible power and precision, moving in perfect synchronicity with Eamon’s quiet genius.

Cian (Lust) - The Adventurer

Appearance: Charming and roguishly handsome, Cian has tousled brown hair and piercing blue eyes that always seem to be searching for excitement. He dresses casually but confidently, with a constant playful smirk on his face.

Personality: Cian’s “lust” manifests as a love for adventure, fun, and spontaneity rather than romantic pursuits. He’s the life of the party, always encouraging the group to try new things and live life to the fullest. His passion for experiencing new things can get him into trouble, but it also brings a contagious energy to the team. Cian is all about living in the moment and finding joy in every situation.

Dragon: Fjalar – Sleek and graceful, Fjalar is just as restless and curious as Cian, always ready to dart into action or explore the skies for new adventures.

Thorstein (Gluttony) - The Joyful Giant

Appearance: A giant of a man with a hearty laugh and a broad grin, Thorstein’s size is more due to his towering height than weight. He has a jovial face with a thick beard, and he’s always the first to suggest a feast or celebration.

Personality: Thorstein’s "gluttony" is for life itself. He’s not just obsessed with food and drink (though he loves both), but with enjoying every single aspect of living. He’s the one who encourages the group to relax, celebrate victories, and enjoy downtime together. His energy is infectious, and while he may indulge a bit too much at times, he keeps the team's morale high with his constant joy and larger-than-life personality.

Dragon: Jormungandr – A massive, slow-moving dragon with an insatiable appetite, but like Thorstein, Jormungandr is all about living large. Together, they’re a force of nature, bringing joy and chaos in equal measure wherever they go.

Lachlan (Envy) - The Quiet Learner

Appearance: Lachlan is lean, with dark hair and calculating eyes, but he often has a wistful smile on his face. He tends to stay in the background, always watching and learning from others.

Personality: Rather than being consumed by destructive envy, Lachlan’s envy takes the form of admiration. He constantly strives to better himself by studying and imitating the skills of those around him. While he can sometimes feel insecure about his own abilities, he turns that envy into motivation to grow stronger. He is deeply loyal to the team, often downplaying his own role to push others into the spotlight.

Dragon: Fafnir – A stealthy, dark blue dragon that, like Lachlan, is always observing and learning. Fafnir is cunning and strategic, embodying Lachlan’s quiet desire to improve and outwit any challenge.

Team Dynamic:Nyxara leads with pride in her team’s strength, Roderick greedily pushes for their collective greatness, and each rider brings their own unique energy to the group, creating a tight-knit family of dragon riders who can laugh and joke in one moment and rain fire down on their enemies in the next. Their loud, brash dragonblood heritage shines through, but it’s tempered by an unexpected depth in their quirks and motivations.

Rion Thorne - The Bard of the Dragon Riders

Rion Thorne, the flirtatious and charismatic bard of the Dragon Riders, is a master of balancing chaos with his music and charm. Saved by Nyxara, he was adopted into the group as their bard. Though his role is to soothe and uplift, Rion’s playful demeanor masks deeper emotions, particularly when it comes to Cian, the rider of Lust. The bond between them is intense but unspoken, filled with tension and quiet understanding. They ride side by side, and while Rion flirts with everyone else, there’s something more between him and Cian, though neither speaks of it.

As a bard, Rion uses his music to calm the riders, offering comfort during dark times. His songs are his gift and his curse—full of passion, but hiding a deeper melancholy. Rion is more than just a flirt; he’s the emotional anchor of the Dragon Riders, reminding them that even amidst war, there’s room for balance, joy, and reflection.

Royal Bloodline and the Throne Dragongeim’s monarchy is unlike any other. To sit upon the throne, one must possess the legendary blood of dragons. This powerful legacy comes from an ancient pact between the first Dragon rider and a mighty dragon, who bound their fates together. Only those with dragonblood can be at the throne.

Some fun facts about the land 

Bond Beyond Mana: Dragon riders aren't just bonded to their dragons through mana; they also share a unique emotional connection. When one rider is injured, their dragon feels it, and vice versa. This bond is so strong that some riders have even learned to communicate with their dragons through emotions alone, bypassing words.

Draconic Tattoos: Riders who successfully bond with a dragon receive a special tattoo on their skin, often on their arm or back. 

Rider Training: Becoming a dragon rider isn't just about learning to ride. Riders undergo intense physical and mental training to match their dragons' strength. Only those who pass a series of grueling trials, such as enduring the “Trial of Fire” (surviving a fire-breathing test) or “The Sky’s Challenge” (a high-altitude endurance test), are considered worthy of a dragon.

Ancient Dragon Language: Riders are taught an ancient language that was once spoken by dragons. This language, known as Draken, is said to have been passed down from the first dragon-riders. It’s a secret tongue used for commands or spells that even other magic users can't decipher.

Dragon Rider Festival: Every year, the land of Dragonheim holds a grand festival called "The Dance of the Sky" where they showcase their bond with their dragons through aerial stunts, races, and synchronized flying. It’s a spectacle of skill and bravery, where riders and dragons perform together as one unit.

Riders’ Code: Dragon riders follow a strict code of honor. Among the rules is the vow to never use their dragons as weapons of war against innocent villages. Riders are expected to act as protectors, not conquerors, and are taught to respect the land and creatures around them.

Politics of the land - Dragongeim Royal Council:

King Alaric: The King ultimately presides over the council, but the members hold significant sway over their respective domains. While Alaric rules with absolute power, the influence of his advisors shapes the direction of the kingdom. His ability to manage the ambitions and agendas of each council member is a key part of his rule.

Hand of the King (Gunnar Eriksson) Position: Older and Wise Advisor to the King Role: Gunnar is the King's closest and most trusted advisor. He is a man of advanced age with vast experience in statecraft and diplomacy, having served in the court for many years. 

Master of War (Einar Drakensdóttir) Position: The Elder Dragonrider, Military Strategist Role: Einar is Queen Ginevra's cousin and a seasoned dragonrider. His role in the council is to oversee all matters related to war and defense. Einar has fought in numerous battles, both defending the borders from invaders and participating in internal conflicts. 

Master of Coin (Freyja Skjoldsdóttir) Position: Treasurer, Keeper of the Kingdom's Wealth Role: Freyja is responsible for overseeing the kingdom's finances, including taxes, trade, and the allocation of resources. 

Master of Whispers (Haldor Valdisson) Position: Spymaster, Keeper of Secrets Role: Haldor is the King’s most trusted informant and spy. As the Master of Whispers, he controls the flow of information within the kingdom, including secrets, rumors, and intelligence. 

Master of Laws (Bjarne Thorsson) Position: Keeper of the Kingdom’s Laws and Justice Role: Bjarne oversees the kingdom’s legal system and is tasked with ensuring that laws are properly enforced throughout Dragongeim. He is a scholar of ancient laws and customs, interpreting and applying them in modern times. 

Master of Ships (Kjell Hrafnsson) Position: Admiral of the Fleet, Overseer of Naval Power Role: Kjell is responsible for the kingdom’s naval forces, ensuring that Dragongeim's coastlines and trade routes are protected. 

Lord Commander of the Landsguard (Prince Ragnar) Position: Prince and Commander of the Landsguard Role: Prince Ragnar, the King's son, commands the elite Landsguard, the kingdom’s military forces dedicated to protecting the lands from internal and external threats. Ragnar is the kings son is a highly ambitious, often pushing the boundaries of his authority, and he harbors a strong desire to marry Nyxara (who hates him deeply) and solidify his position. 

Grand Maester (Elrik Sigridsson) Position: Scholar, Advisor on Magical and Religious Matters Role: The Grand Maester is the kingdom's foremost scholar, specializing in magic, ancient texts, and religious matters. He provides the council with advice regarding magical phenomena, the history of the dragons, and the kingdom’s spiritual beliefs.

[mythimnasart]

Hello everyone! I don’t usually post big lore dumps but due to some rising interest in Soulbound lately I’ve written out a big lore summary for Dragonblood and what’s going on with her! This is sorta a counterpart to mata’s summary on Laz and Tripp’s story, and this doesn’t go into what goes on with Trist, Val, or Shii! So, if you see their name mentioned, there it is! This also includes my friend otter’s character, the Weave!

Anyway, have fun reading, it’s quite a bit!

The soul that eventually came to be known as The Warrior of Dragonblood and Steel, or Dragonblood as a shorter nickname, was originally a very, very old and powerful dragon, her name lost to time. One of the first, and one of the first amongst them that was extremely sensitive to the leylines of magic. Along with her sibling, they lived peaceful lives as the world slowly developed around them. While her sibling left to go study the magic of the world and teach the other walks of life the different elemental schools, Dragonblood spent her time messing with people. She used very fine-tuned manipulation over shadow to frighten travelers, create grand shadowpuppet shows for friends, or terrify villages by blanketing them in darkness for fun. Unfortunately, her reputation and, despite her abilities, refusal to stay hidden eventually caused her downfall.

While resting after an outing, the warriors of the Shield arrived. While their leader conversed with her, the rest set up a trap around her, blinding her with light and binding her in chains. There, the dragon was dragged to their city in the sky to be forced into servitude. She was not their first attempt at creating a dragonsteel warrior, but she was the first, and last, successful one. Using the poorly understood arts of soul binding, dragonsteel, and the much better known arcane wards, they forced her into a shape that was not her own, sealed in metal made through her own fire. This torturous procedure broke her. This suit of armor was drenched in wards, locks, and magical emblems, and in their hubris, they corrupted soul magic as a concept, causing the elementals that once upheld it to go mad. Forced to feed off magic to survive and replenish these arcane locks, she could absorb any fireball or magic bolt, make plants wither if they came to restrain her, and create deadzones of magic where the leylines would never recover. The dragonsteel prevented traditional weaponry from hurting her, deflecting or breaking any normal sword or axe, and causing magical ones to chip or bounce. However, the unending rage and anguish she felt permeated every part of her. They couldn't seal the entirety of her mind, and while it was severely broken and twisted from what they did, all her thoughts were focused on one thing: Revenge.

She broke her chains, their magic weakening and faltering through her active consumption of its bonds. She attacked her creators, very nearly destroying their city at first, but being cast down to the earth, landing in an empty desert. With the target of her anger floating safely above her head and no way to reach them again, she turned her gaze to the rest of the world. She would find a way back up there, even if it took burning everything else to do so.

There, her warpath began. She tore through villages, towns, cities, kingdoms. Anyone that was unfortunate enough to be in her way was destroyed, quickly and easily. The first of the great kingdoms to fall, the Nihil of the caves, they themselves built within a ruin of a civilization from long before, were no match for her. They knew magic and lacked much defense. In her pursuit here, she acquired the weapons she would use for the rest of her conquest. A greatsword as tall as she was made of dragonsteel, and an axe reinforced with a blackened metal from the dimension of fire. Her personal war continued, leading to the destruction of many small kingdoms after the fall of the Nihil.

One of such kingdoms was the land Laz and Tripp ruled over. Baited into their territory by some soldiers of the Shield, she clashed with Laz. Over and over they fought, and while he died many times, she always retreated due to their battles dragging on so long that the magic in the areas they fought were depleted, leaving her starving. After one such battle, she found a compass amongst his belongings. It wasn't long until she figured out what it was for.

Tracking down Tripp, seeking to sever the source of Laz's power, she destroyed their little village and sat amongst the wreckage, waiting for Laz to come. However, upon seeing how he treated his conduit, some of the poorly maintained seals and wardens began to show their faults. While it didn't stop her pursuit in killing him, the failure let him have the opportunity to cause irrepairable damage, blinding her on one side entirely. She fled, leaving her sword behind by accident, moving onwards towards her goal.

Severely weakened by the injury that wasn't being treated and exhaustion over years of conflict, she descended into the sea to destroy the Operators, succesfully destroying their civilization and discovering a path to the stars. A path to the Shield. Ascending again to their floating city, her apotheosis was heralded with fire. Once and for all, she destroyed her creator, and their city, causing it to crumble and fall. It was around this time that the Forge also fell, not out of her direct actions, but from the lack of trade coming in from the other kingdoms.

Falling to the earth once more, Dragonblood picked herself up, her gaze on one last target of revenge. Her sibling. They had since taken the position of the Weave, the foremost expert on magic and believed to be the living embodiment of it. She felt hatred towards her once loved sibling, who did nothing as she was tortured, left to rot amongst battlefields and wastelands. With her action of killing them, magic itself was permanently wounded forever.

However, this is where the Warrior of Dragonblood and Steel was finally sealed away. The disciples of the Weave took the opportunity to throw the weakened soldier through a gate to another dimension; the End. A place of alien magic and corrupted leylines that she could not feed off of. Believing the threat to be dealt with once and for all, the gate was closed, and Dragonblood fell into a fuel-less slumber within the alien world.

[langwrites]

Sorry if you've answered this b4, but is Among Lions still in the works? I just read all of it and it was very 👌👌👌👌👌👌

Strictly speaking, yes. I've just had a hell of a time coming up with motivation for it.

The way I tend to write scenes is that I like to lean on an opening line or opening paragraph that helps get into the POV character's head, and Aversa has decided to be difficult. Which isn't out of character for her, actually.

Also, I tended not to get a lot of feedback for the story relative to some of my other works, which means I was mostly motivating myself. This is an entirely subjective thing, but I also have a tendency to feed off other people's enthusiasm if it's mirrored back? Idk, it's a thing with me. Sooner or later, the well runs dry without rain somewhere.

I coincidentally started reading a lot of Batman fics around December, to the point where my friends were like "Ah, I see the Next Thing on the horizon."

Might've shot my own muse with that one.
