The Draconic

The Draconic (Edited June 2018)

Azalea Icebringer is what some may call a Draconic. What is a Draconic? Well they, like the hobbits they hide away from men, but since they are so large it was hard to conceal themselves like they sneaky hobbits with their light feet and small stature. The Dracon people were a large species most taller than the high elves, as the Dracon people were known for their height and brute strength, but the most diversifying feature of the Dracon people was their ability to turn into dragons. Their appearance shifting like the lycanthrope people who are hidden in the woods and in stories the men told their children about to frighten them. When in a human form there were still ways to tell them apart from a very tall man or an elf, it was the fact of their eyes glinting with shimmers of jewels they're dragon counterparts loved to hide. The scales also gave it away. These scales though are hidden and only emerge in a time of heightened emotion. You may be wondering where are the Draconic people now. Are they the same as the hobbits? Are they hidden away in their lairs? Are they living in a human form among us? Sadly no to all these questions, unlike the hobbits as stated before their not very good hidders and were soon killed out with only a slight remembrance of the people in the new world we live in, made into fairy tales.

Our story does not take place in the new world, oh no. this story takes place when they draconic people were still alive and thriving in their own way. Cut off by the other creatures of middle earth, spare a few, they lived in their caves or some in colonies succeeded in their mountains living peacefully. Some have decided to stay a dragon forever like the dragon Smaug and some in the far north of middle earth but, there were some that tried to live as men do. Azalea lives as men do. This dracon story is the one I will be telling you. Azalea the Icebringer, who can turn villages, cities, and kingdoms to ice with one of her breaths. Her frozen demeanour has been carved out of the ice shes lived in for since 1,000 or more years. The Icebringer has been trying to melt away her standoffish demeanour since she decided to live the mountains. Her snowy hair matches the scales and steps of the mountains ice and her icy eyes, the colour of diamonds glisten in the sun. her appearance makes her invisible in the mountains she called home but in the woods and cities she sticks out like a sore thumb. Her sister Zaria is the complete opposite of her, literally. A fire dragon in love with the culture of the draconic, living in a small colony of 3 dracon. Living in the mountains where she was born and a fiery personal to back her up.

But this is a story about Azalea and I'm getting off topic, so, let our story begin.
