Dragons.

They were beastly creatures, with scaled bodies that gleamed and glowing eyes. Their wings spread tens or even hundreds of feet; leathery, rippled with veins and ripped with ebony claws. While some were natural colors, coming in shades of black and grey and white, others were pearlescent, scales glittering, or their colors changed as they moved, sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. It was an enchanting sort of beauty, but the dangerous kind, like that of the deadly nightshade. With teeth sharp as the blades made on a blacksmiths forge, and the intricate organs that allowed their fire breathing abilities, they could torch entire forests in mere seconds, leaving no survivors. But facing down these beasts?

It was something she never imagined.

She had been informed it was only a small job; the civilians claimed it was a baby dragon, no need to worry. It was supposed to be simple; a quick arrow straight through the throat would stop the fire, and they would cut the heart out and be done. What they hadn’t mentioned, was the mother who protected that child. It had happened in a flash, a warm blast of heart and the horses squealed as the trees went up in flames; men screamed and Katja looked up, only for a brief moment to see the beast fly overhead before she too felt the blast of the fire and ash.

——

Dusk had begun to fall, and Katja was there, galloping down the dark road of night, breathing harshly. Her helmet was gone, her cloak charred and her face smudged with ash. This was more than the Knight had bargained for. Thankfully she had not taken her full militia, only a small group, but when the dragon attacked...it left them stunned. Some had escaped. Katja had barely managed, in fact she wasn’t entirely sure she could feel her left leg beneath the plate armor; it was charred and the leather trousers beneath that were blackened and stuck to her skin. Her blonde hair whipped wildly in the wind, many strands having come free from her braid to stick to her face, and the sweat that dropped down pulled blood and ash down with it.


“Dragon...!” She called out, though her voice was hoarse and her throat dry; the woman let out a raspy breath as she tightened her grip on the reigns, the horse she rode galloping roughly down the cobblestone pathway; but her legs couldn’t manage the rough trip, and with her strength waning, her numb fingers slowly released the leather reigns and she fell from the horse,

In the distance, plumes of smoke raised from the charred trees, and a guttural roar echoed through the air.

Well! This is actually a revamping of an old, old RP from when I first joined this site! I rewrote the prompt and I’m hoping it doesn’t flop this time around!

I’m looking for two other players, to keep the RP small, but as it develops we may accept more. You could be a Knight, a Lord of the land that’s being terrorized by said dragon, it’s really flexible here. Just go ahead and ask.

Please note I am currently out of the country and my internet is less than ideal. My responses to this may be a little spaced out!
Magic 70%
Magic is fairly common. Players and NPCs important to the tale may have it. Mistborn.
Technology 20%
Iron age
Combat 70%
More combat than not. The setting may be at war, and the characters will likely get involved whether or not they seek it out.

Details: Freeform, paragraphs required, long-term RP partner preferred.

Meeeeee.
Let's hope it doesn't die down it was a very good plot!
I don't have any characters pre-made for this but I can make one up if that's all good?
I would love to know more about this story and I have two different characters that I could use for this role!! I'm really looking forward to working with you!!

Tus, I’d be thrilled (of course) to have you on board!

Meja, I’d love to have you with as well! I will request the character be finished before we start, so I can get a good read on them.

Wolf, I responded to your PM.

When y’all have the characters you’d like to use ready, please let me know! If someone else comes along before your done, I may accept them on board instead. I’ve had too many RPs die waiting for people to finish up characters, so it’s really not something I’m fond of doing.

I have a friend of mine who may join us later as well! Depending on how long this story winds up, of course.
Do you have any preferences for any of my characters?
Do I *need* a profile or can I just put together a lone synposis/biography?

Tus, you know I love all of your characters! I think Aynor or Arn would be lovely fits for this!

Meja, a lone synopsis and bio is perfectly fine! We have a third person joining us who DMed me, so ill refer them over here so we can all fit in. I’ll get to work on an OOC and IC posts respectively, and I’ll be awaiting your character decisions!
