De lover oss gull og grønne skoger.

“They promised us green and golden forests.”

She sees him again but not at the reading, as not all of them come; there are kids that are too sick, too proud or too out of everything. The head nurse calls his name in surprise and when she turns, he’s already at the door.

I thought you weren’t coming to the reading, Conan-kun, the head nurse says.

The boy looks at neither of them but out of the window. I heard a scops-owl, he says.

They are left alone. The activity room is quiet now; under the summer sun the trees outside stretch their branches, the leaves yawn under breeze. She asks him if he’d like to have a book. He accepts it, turns it in his hands. She doesn’t hear the owl, but her classmates scuffling down the corridor, the therapy dog whimpering as someone hugs it and says goodbye.

They’re for children, he says.

She agrees. They are.

He frowns down at the pages. The kelp forests in Australia; the feathered dinosaur bones. Cosmic explosions that happen far, far away and long, long ago, they are already prolonged funerals when they’re known. The turning world.

You didn’t come to the reading.

The boy shrugs. It’s for children, too.

She looks at him and says nothing. He can’t be older than nine years old. In his striped hospital gown he looks small; his hair sticks out to every direction and she craves to bring a comb down the overgrown bangs, the untamed cowlick. His face is open without glasses.

I understand concepts impossible for eight-year-olds, he says abruptly before she raises her hand, the gaze on her as fixed as a harrier, she thinks. Or shark. Yet they think I’m impersonating my older brother because he died.

She blinks. Your brother?

The silence she swallows swells in her throat. The boy’s gaze shifts. A few blinks, he seems startled, taken back, even apologetically. That’s what they told me. I just thought I should be honest with you. 

She tries to smile.     

Here is it again, the boy says. 

A glimpse flickers up, then the tiniest frown slides off his face as he looks away, out the window again. Beyond the aluminum frames the woods slope up to a sky she could not see. 

The owl?

Japanese scops-owl.

I didn’t hear it. What does it sound like?

Like an untuned honk of a car, he says. This time she smiles, though he doesn’t. Exasperated, he grabs her wrists and yanks her toward the window; she leans to his pull. It’s true. Just listen!

She shut sher eyes and listens. She hears wind, faraway traffic and two squabbling bulbuls. Her classmates are gone; she has told them to leave her behind. The boy lets go of her. It stops, he says.

I have a friend who can hoot to owls, she finds herself saying. Behind her eyelids she pictures a yard she has never visited, a boy she should’ve never seen. He was in America before kindergarten. They have backyard owls.

She hears two hoots, low and lament, hollow as an ancient tree. Her heart pounds when she opens her eyes and sees the boy bringing his palms closed around his mouth. In summer sun pours between trees his eyes are cerulean, as the evening sky that would dome them hours later.

It’s easy, he grins.

It surely is, she thinks, but not everything else.

I’m sorry, all of a sudden he chuckles and shakes his head, brows unfurling on his young face. I’m being rude again. I didn’t catch your name.

Ran, she says.

Ran, he repeats. He stares at her, thoughtful, lips slightly apart. The tip of his tongue touches the roof of his mouth as he reportions the name in his mind. Ran.

Yes, she confirms quietly. She searches his face and hopes to see a sign but there’s nothing; his face falls blank. Ask a question, she thinks. Ask anything. Ask my family name, where I live, where I go to school. He must’ve seen the logo of Teitan on her uniform but he makes no deduction. He asks nothing.

I have to go, instead he says. Slowly, he tucks the book under his arm and climbs up from the bench. Ran watches as he leaves, does not say goodbye, does not ask if she’ll come see him again. At last she bends and cries into her palms. Then, she hears the owl.

Day 7 - Worldbuilding/ Dragons!

Worldbuilding of Aelaris - DRAGONS!  @originalficfest​ — THANK YOU so much for doing this! It was amazing :D (And I’m actually really sad that this is the last day! So much motivation...)

|| Introduction | Day 1 - Characters | Day 2 - Romantic Relationships | Day 3 - Non-Romantic Relationships | Day 4 - Quote Day | Day 5 - Music Day | Day 6 - Pictures Day | Day 7 - Worldbuilding/Dragons ||

First of all, there are several different classifications of dragons, and none of them are originally from Aelaris but from a different world entirely. If you want to read more about them, there’s info below (a lot ahahah). 

Anyways, dragons in the world of Dreams and Shadows! Dragons have existed for the past 500 years — since the Apocalypse. This means that everyone living today has never known a world in which dragons don’t exist. The dragons living in Merreadon, the city in which most of the story takes place, are predominantly very small — there are several different kinds but for the sake of simplicity the ones that are most common there are Featherdragons and mammal-based ones that don’t have a proper name yet but might probably end up being called Fuzzydragons (if you have an idea for a proper name you could send me a message, haha.). There are as many different kinds of featherdragons as there are different kinds of birds and most of them just sit around doing bird things, basically. Some are really intelligent and capable of speech, others not quite, mostly depending on the individual. 

All of them can communicate via mind-link (via Essence/magic) but some haven’t quite mastered language yet, so they use images and sounds and smells in addition to words. To the inhabitants of Merreadon it’s completely normal that there are dragons sitting everywhere, building nests, rearing their young, shitting on your coat when you go to work… just imagine a bunch of kids playing with a ball, and then they throw it accidentally into a bush where a featherdragon is sitting and the next thing they know the tiny creature is cussing at them violently inside their head? :D Also, there are two modes featherdragons: ball of floof and aesthetically sleek. :D Some people think that they’re different species but mostly it’s a question of temperature xD Featherdragons are somewhere between sparrow-sized and eagle-sized, at least the ones living in Merreador. 

Then there are the mammal-based dragons, which range from squirrel-sized to large-dog-sized, though the bigger ones don’t roam the streets of Merreadon and prefer to live in the woods instead. They lead similar lives to the featherdragons and love fruit most of all. They are also really great at remembering things so some people use them as messengers by bribing them with fruit to transmit messages. This only works somewhat, though, because they’re also very mischievous and resist taming 100% of the time. Featherdragons generally don’t care about people and prefer their flocks, living wild and free the way they want. They can’t be tamed and usually die in captivity so it’s illegal to own one (not to speak of the fact that you’ll only “own” them for about a month before they refuse to eat or drink) They are true free spirits. Fuzzydragons, by comparison, are loners that love playing pranks on people. They’re generally smarter than featherdragons. They also tend to “choose” humans to hang out with, especially lonely humans, and can become lifelong friends. They might still end up pranking you, though. It’s just in their nature. So it’s very possible that, if you suffer from depression or mental illness, you might end up having a fuzzydragon follow you, trying to make you laugh. You might just end up becoming friends for life.

The Apocalypse, how Dragons came into being, and why people call them dragons.

There was this apocalypse some 500 years ago. Basically people had once made a pact with the Ellariel (mythic beings) that granted them magic powers, more or less. This led to humanity getting a shit-ton done and creating a great amount of technology and generally being quite unkind to their home-world. The Ellariel finally saw that coming and broke the pact, redrawing and breaking off any contact with humans, but by then it was more or less too late. It took a few hundred years until humanity regained their footing but in the end it didn’t change the outcome, it just pushed it back.

So now we’re at the point where the planet is on the brink of utter destruction — climate change, animal extinction rate going through the roof, no natural resources left, most people fighting for survival in ruined cities while the 1% has all the power, money, and food. Usual crap.

Now there was one Ellariel in specific, Luzire, who really, really did not like this. So she made a few deal to get enough power to change that, which in turn made her go completely lunatic (I mean, she did become Master of Chaos, after all…). And then she used this power to sway a few important followers into joining her cause: Wiping humanity off the face of the earth.

That was the apocalypse: When nature suddenly went insane because Luzire used her chaotic powers to give plants mobility, to make animals into monsters, and to generally wreak havoc. When the remaining (and opposing) Ellariel finally managed to stop her some years later there were only a few pockets of humans left and the world couldn’t be compared to what it had been anymore. The technology, buildings, steel, glass — everything gone, just ruins left. Basically, nature was returned to its original state — but most animals were different from before, and somewhere during the chaos dragons had slipped through. And since most humans were dead and there were so few left that the ones who remembered probably never saw one everything the following generations had were tales that had been handed down from their ancestors, including tales of dragons — except that they’d only been mythology in that past world. Today’s society calls dragons “dragons” because of those stories. They are somewhat certain that there were no dragons before the apocalypse but nobody knows for sure. And since in this world they’re kind of uncreative with naming, everything with four legs and two wings is called a dragon, even if the different species have very little in common. There are amphibious dragons, reptilian, mammalian, and finally, bird-dragons! They were created during the Apocalypse by Viridaeya, Goddess of Creation, though they weren’t meant to roam this world. They just found a chink and slipped through — to be specific, the Sanctuary, the multi-storey garden structure at the centre of Merreadon, the city in which Dreams and Shadows takes place predominantly. That’s also why there are so many dragons living there, and why the Sanctuary is as beautiful as it is. People don’t consciously notice but they can sort of feel it and therefore there are a lot of superstitions surrounding dragons. They’re also rather well-treated by almost everyone :)

Dragons are very smart — not the way a person is smart, but of a different kind of intelligence. Most of them are capable of speech, though it’s inside your head, so not really a word-based language — more sensory-based, with sounds, images and smells. They use their connection to the Essence for that.

Species of dragons.

There are many different kinds of dragons and only a few of them live as far north as Merreadon. The typical, “proper” reptile-based dragons do exist, and even in big sizes, but there are only very few of those big ones. Some kinds of reptilian dragons never stop growing, and they have a rather long life-time because there are no age limits for they since they feed off Essence (magic, basically) in addition to “normal” food. Anyways, these big dragons can only exist because of Essence, otherwise their immense weight would crush them. They’re also incapable of flight because they’re generally too heavy. They could fly, once, but that was one or two centuries back. Anyways. The big dragons that exist are the ones that still live, First Generation. They also love eating people, and live a lot further to the south where they prefer to live their lives undisturbed by humans. While humans do taste quite good, they also make a lot of trouble ;)

Reptile dragons exist in multiple forms: just scales and “bat wings”, typical dragon fashion; just scales and scaled arms from which feathers grow; and partially feathered all over their body, with feather wings. There are also a few aquatic species, which get really large, too. 

There are no reptile dragons in Merreadon because it gets far too cold in winters and while it could be colder in summer they do prefer it hot or at least warm year-round. There are a few specialized species that spend the winter deeply buried somewhere (like snakes) but none as far north as Merreadon, apart from the aquatic species. There are a few deep sea terrors in the arctic oceans, and they mostly survive because of Essence, and because they can slow down their metabolism to incredible depths.

Amphibious dragons! They live mainly underwater, and they’re the weirdest, coolest, and largest of them all, especially the deep sea dragons! There are a few kinds that don’t get very large, though, and one of these kinds is common in the streams and rivers on Merreadon island. They don’t get longer than a chopstick and their wings have been re-purposed into awesome paddles XD Ava and Ben have caught one, once, and Ben got bit and had to go to the hospital because of possible infections :P Ava was still rather small back then so she had a few nightmares during the following nights. And then she decided to find another one but never did.

There are also insect dragons, of course, chitin dragons. They live to the west and south and everyone hates them with a burning passion. They are mostly really annoying and will talk to you inside your head. Which is worst of all, basically.

The bird dragons! In addition to the ones above, two species can become as large as 2m shoulder height, but the rest stays rather small — song-bird size, max eagle size. Also, the large ones don’t occur near Merreadon.

And, finally, mammalian dragons! They are the most common kind of dragon in/around Merreadon and range from very small sizes (squirrel-sized) to large-dog size. They have bat-like wings, with skin between the wing-fingers. They can be put in the “floof” category or the “sleek” category. There are more floof dragon species in Merreadon :D

Generally speaking, dragons are theoretically immortal, if they want to be, at least concerning old age. This is most visible in the reptilian and amphibious dragons. Chitin dragons usually don’t get much older than 10 years, and bird and mammal dragons are somewhere between 20 and 100 years, depending on the individual. If a mammal dragon has chosen a human as their companion they’ll usually live as long a their human does, and then die when they die. Bird dragons usually live as long as their chosen mate. There are documented cases of queer dragons raising the babies of deceased parent dragons, because while it doesn’t happen often, accidents can occur at any time and there are lots of animals that eat dragon. And sometimes humans are just mean.
