So in short: Stare down the cliff adorably, then skydive/glide over the water. Or swim.

Act I: The Dragon Egg
Scene II



You sink into the cool waters of the lake. Your wings work far better in the thicker fluid, but you can't stay too long. While you can hold your breath for up to around five minutes even without practice, you can't breath underwater.



You float for a minute or two, gliding around near the lake floor. Nothing is in site except blue fog and dark silt.



In the peace and silence, you contemplate the sigil that hung over the shadow's eyes. Despite your knowledge of science, you don't know anything about ANCIENT GERMANIC RUNES. If only you had access to A CONVENIENT REPOSITORY OF PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. Of course, you're a dragon! You don't have access to anything like that!



Enough lazing about, though. You head out of the water and search around for a place to rest of some sort. A nice little cave next to a grassy ledge is apparent; it's about six or seven feet tall, and it goes nearly ten feet back. In addition, it's within a hundred or so feet from the water's edge. Perfect for a young dragon's first den!

As you settle in, you also think about spiritfire. You know from experience that it can create life, fire, and darkness, and you innately know that it's capable of creating most non-solid effects; light, electricity, cold, sleep gas, poisonous gas, raw force, and ethereal fire come to mind. Life and darkness can create opposing spiritual entities, life can also be used to heal things, and darkness can also just be visible dark instead of spiritual darkness. Light can be practically synonymous with life, but can also just refer to visible light. Gasses that cause effects on living creatures (sleep gas, poisonous gas, disorienting gas, etc.) can all be created. Raw force is just what it sounds like, and ethereal fire is spiritual fire; it burns spiritual entities of all sorts. Freezing cold and regular fire can also be produced, as well as air currents. Other effects may be useable, but these are some examples.

I'm really excited about that first image; hopefully everyone can tell what it's supposed to be, though.

Realise that you can breath underwater.

You can't breath underwater, as you don't have gills.

So in short: Stare down the cliff adorably, then skydive/glide over the water. Or swim.

It actually isn't a cliff, I just did a bad job of making a background in that image.

Not more shadow things. We must instead make things of every element. Earth, fire, wind, water, and heart. Also light, lightning, ice, acid, poison, fighting, psychic, grass, and bug. That way we end up accidentally summoning demigods of every type who will hate each other and fight for control over the humans. Long live the great war of the demigods!

Spoiler: Completely Unasked For Art Tip (click to show/hide)

Adding a floor to the inside of the cave would help distinguish it as such, as is you can tell what it's supposed to be, but it looks more like a strangely colored section of the hill/cliff face.  Overall the artwork is very clean if a bit basic, you're doing pretty well.

About the cave, yeah, I screwed up a bit. I originally was going to have visibly seperate floors and walls, but I accidentally made the layer behind it (the hillside) not actually have a hole in it; I was forced to add another misshapen blob in front of it to crudely imitate an opening. I'll make a better picture for the future updates.

Brilliant, Holmes.

Thank you my dear Watson

Hmm, our analysis of self indicated our wings are both made for flight and for underwater! Only thing is, we have no gills...

>Try to remember if we have any relations, like our mother/father dragon

Then maybe we might have some answers...

Also, very nice underwater scene!

[kaian-a-coel]

flying is just swimming in the air.

also the rune is "Ansuz", the "A" letter in old Futhark (fourth letter), also meaning "god" or "oak". Presumably come from the sanskrit "Asura", and this is reeeeaaaaly bad omen for us because the "asura path" is one of the most badass karma: the DESTROY EVERYTHING way of lifeS.
Yeah, we just created a DARK DEMIGOD OF MULTIVERSAL DESTRUCTION just by sneezing.

>For the love of god, never, never, NEVER catch a cold.

also nice underwater scenery.

Rats, should have done more research.  I knew that it was called ansuz, but I didn't bother researching past that.  Woopsie-daisies, that could have gone bad.

>For the love of god, never, never, NEVER catch a cold.

We should probably make sure we're nice and dry first thing.

also nice underwater scenery.

Agreed, you capture the looking up from the bottom or sides very well, my only suggestion is that you add, say, a fish or two, or some seaweed (or other underwater plants, since we're in freshwater) it helps give a sense of surroundings and depth. never mind; looked at it again it's supposed to be empty.

[peglegpengeuin]

Surely summoning the rest of the alphabet is a good idea.
