As Jewel told Karliah that she would love to more about Dragons, she smiled. Then, the Dragon took hold of Jewel's wrist, leading her to the bed. "Then we should sit. There is no need for us to remain standing if we are going to talk about such things. I would be glad to tell you what I know..the history of the world and anything else that I can about my kind" She sat down, moving so that Jewel could sit anywhere on the bed that she wished. Karliah smiled, pulling the hood of her hooded dress down. "Dragons..we have been around since the beginning of this world. We were created by the being that created Varnaya..her first attempt at creating a being. It is said that she poured all of herself into this creation. For many years, it was simply us and the world. In the beginning, Dragons were not like we are today. We were beasts..nothing more than terrible creatures that simply hunted, fought, bred..and eventually died. My kind was like this because the Great One left out one key ingredient in our creation..the ability to think and speak.

Instead of trying to fix the problem, she created the Asaldi. Your kind was created in her image though you lacked her passion and love for the world..the ability to care for all of the inhabitants, you could never do this on your own. It is nearly the same for the Hiralru. Alone your races could never rule if you are fighting with one another. The Great One realized this too late. During this time, the Asaldi and the Hiralru feared for their lives as my kind terrorized the world. We burned and froze the world below us. Killed any that dared to try and stop us. The Great One could only watch as her perfect world slowly began to crumble.

The Asaldi and the Hiralru were fighting amongst each other, blaming the other race for the Dragons' rage. To them, it was obvious. We were angry because the other race had angered us in some way. This was not true. It was simply the only way we knew. The Great One began trying to find a way to fix everything here on Varnaya. The Asaldi and the Hiralru were not capable of ruling the world. That left the Dragons..or she would need to create a new race, something that she did not have the life force left to do. It would kill her to create another race. So, she fixed us. We were all granted the ability to think..to speak..and to shift in case we ever needed to blend in with the other races.

The moment that we gained these things, we all stopped the terrorizing that we'd been doing. It was if our eyes were open for the first time. We left the Lower Lands, convening high in the sky to speak. It was there that the first Dragon King was named, Dramgoth. He was Rhitarion's ancestor. He is the one that first recognized the pain that the other races were going through because of us. Because of this, he created the laws that we still follow to this day. He is also the one that had Ialeos constructed.

Anyway, once Dramgoth took over rule of the Dragons, things began to slowly get better for everyone. Because we were almost exact copies of the Great One, it was always in our nature to care for the world. We just didn't know because we were animals. For many years we worked to gain the trust and love of the Lower Lands. It was only when Rhitarion's gradfather ruled that we had fully gained this. After this, the Great One came before us..granting us immortality. This was something that we had never known before. Imagine, Jewel, if another Dragon had been chosen to rule. It is doubtful that he would have seen the errors of our ways. Things would be so much different and you probably would have never met any of us." Karliah paused for a few long moments, allowing her friend to digest what she'd just learned.

"Other than that, there is really not a whole lot about us. You can tell our scale color by our hair color in this form and our size by our height. Males can breathe fire whereas females breathe ice. Really, we are much like your kind. Our government was based quite a bit off of yours. That is why we are so similar. Now, when a Dragon is filled with rage..and I mean the blinding hate kind of rage, we lose our humanity. We revert back to the beasts that we once were. When this happens, the Dragon must be killed. There is no turning back. Tithendir is getting close to changing. That is also why he was able to best Rhitarion. He fights with no fear of death..he can only see the prize that he seeks. Rhitarion will have to take care of him soon, I'm afraid." Karliah paused once again, eyeing her friend. She smiled then, "We usually try to stay calm. If for some reason we do become angered, you can tell because the ground around us with shake..sort of like if a earthquake is happening. This only happens when we are in this form and while we are speaking. However, we really have to be upset for this to happen, though. Is there anything else that you wished to know? I'm sure that I am forgetting something.." The Dragon fell silent, watching her friend. There were none that still lived that knew most of this information save for the Dragons. Karliah wondered if Jewel realized this and how lucky she was to be able to know so much.
