He would do it. Today was the day that he was going to talk to Ryluth about the humans. It had all started a few months ago when he had been out flying. The wind pressed against his scales and soared under his wings as he glided through the air, his eyes scanning the far away earth, searching for some morsel to eat. He had been up in the air for hours, the animals must have known he was coming. He shot out a single bolt of lightning in frustration then dove straight for the ground. He flung his wings out at the last moment , flapping three times before landing atop the green hill. He reached his head to his paw, plucking out a rock that had been wedged there. CHINK His head snapped up and back, looking directly over his tail. A tall human stood right next to his tail. He had wrinkles on his wizened face and his muscles, though large, were obviously those of an old man. He wore a sword attached to a shoulder bandolier which held 8 throwing knives, two pistols, a shotgun across his back, and a mace on his opposite hip. Whipping his tail behind him, Ryagin rose to his full height, towering over the trees, and spread his wings wide. His shadow reached farther than the old man would be able to see. Ryagin opened his maw, exposing his finely polished, and very sharp teeth before coming back to all fours, his head bent down low so he could see the man. The old man only stood there, gazing at Ryagin’s magnificence. The man did something then that made Ryagin freeze. He unbuckled his bandolier and his weapons fell to the ground in a heap. Ryagin’s eyes were fixed on the bandolier on the ground, why would the man abandon his only defence against a dragon who was obviously much more powerful than he was? Then the man moved, moving closer slowly, ever so slowly. Though cautious, Ryagin wanted to know what this man would do, what could a man who faced certain death do? The old man reached out his hand and placed it gently on Ryagin’s snout. Ryagin felt a pulse through his body, and it was not an unpleasant feeling. “The king of the dragons should have the knowledge of his enemy, he should not blindly follow, nor should he be anyone’s puppet.” The man whispered these words, no louder than the hum of a butterflies wings. The impact of those words were engraved in Ryagin’s heart and mind.He wanted to share what he had learned about humans with Ryluth. They were not all bad, in fact some dragon’s slaves were even helpful to their masters. He had heard of areas where the slaves were more than that, they become friends to their masters. If some humans could do that, what was to say that humans and dragons could not be friends? Why could they not share the earth around them? He sat up straighter, his scales clinking together and sparkling in the dim light. He was an impressive sight to see. He sat in the lavish throne room waiting. But he did not have to wait long. His head swiveled around as the doors were opened. Two small gold dragons had the responsibility of being the door-dragons. A third gold dragon, larger than the other two but much smaller than either Ryagin or Ryluth scuttled into the room. “Ryluth, the mighty and powerful queen of the earth, comes.” The dragon bent it’s head in the form of a bow and scurried to the side of the hall to make way for the majesty that was Ryluth to enter her throne room. (Sorry for the long post! I had to get that story in there. Don't worry about making the reply long enough to match! Just as long as you want!)

Ryluth had just taken a lovely, long lava bath along with a few of her favorite daughters. A 'spa day' if you will. She had just finished when one of her messengers, a gold dragon, informed her that Ryagin wanted to speak with her whenever she was ready. A long smile spread across her dark scales around her mouth. Ryagin, her pride and joy, her co-creator in this beautiful world she had brought forth. A magnificent creature.
She took her time winding down and bidding adieu to her daughters before heading to the throne room, allowing herself to be announced before entering. "Ryagin, my dear," she said in a low, raspy like voice. She moved toward him, greeting him with a long smile before turning and wrapping herself into her large throne, a collection of gold and cushions, just the right amount of softness and cold coins against her skin.
"Tell me, what is on your mind?" she asked, looking away from him to examine her scales. Lava baths always made them shine so, it was a wonder anyone could look at her and not cry over the beauty.
(I'm still getting nestled into this character so bear with me haha)

She was beautiful. The most beautiful thing he had ever seen. When Ryluth walked into the room the gold lost it’s luster, the walls dulled, and she seemed to radiate, light through the room with her beauty.
He loved her. He always had, from the first moment his hatchling eyes caught sight of her magnificence.
“You look radiant, dearheart.” he said, dipping his head in respect.
With her in the room, he didn’t feel such a pressing need to tell her his story. He just wanted to be with her, just to spend time with her. That was all he needed.
But no, he did care about what had happened, and she needed to know. She had always respected his opinions before, and even complimented him on his ideas. So why was he so nervous?
Moving closer to her, just to be near her, he took a breath to ready himself to tell her.
“I have been thinking recently. Why… why do we kill humans?” he asked, not timidly, just thoughtfully.

Ryluth smiled and also dipped her head slightly, in thanks as Ryagin spoke of her radiance. He was the only dragon she would ever bow a head for. He was her own, her closest confidant, her muse. He had brought her hope, saved her, and helped her rebuild this amazing world. She loved him, and cared for him more than anyone else.
"Thank you," she said, nodding slightly as he neared her to reassure him that it was all right. He didn't need to ask permission, but he had seen her lose her temper with others before. He was courteous to her, even though he didn't need to be. She appreciated that.
At his question, Ryluth tilted her head a little, "What an odd question to ask," she stated before turning to a plate of meat beside her and picking at a piece for a snack, "we only kill them if they mean to kill us, really, or if they serve no more use. We are the intelligent beings of the planet, and they are merely secondary creatures meant to serve us. Like bees," she continued, "bees are useful in their own way, but they don't have to live if they are being... bothersome, or seize to be useful to us."

Ryagin looked away from her for a moment. How was he going to tell her? He moved closer to her, entangling his tail with her. Being close to her gave him courage, as it often did. He didn't need to worry about this so much. He just had to say it. He felt strongly enough about it. "Bright-heart, I don't know that they are less intelligent than we are." He said this with more strength than he had previously. If he could get her to see his way, they could start bringing the humans and dragons together... together. "I met a human the other day, unintentionally. But he was different than the slaves. He could have attacked, but he didn't. Why do you think that is?"

As Ryagin protested the intelligence of humans, Ryluth let out a laugh, shaking her head a little. Then he went on to question a human he had met. "Could have attacked?" she said, a bit of amusement still in her tone. "He probably didn't attack, darling, because he understands that dragons are the leaders. What made you think he could have attacked at all?"
She didn't like where this conversation was going, not one bit. He was questioning their beliefs, their lifestyle. He hadn't said anything entirely absurd yet, but it could happen. She knew there were humans out there that maybe thought there could be peace... but she did not share any of this with Ryagin. He didn't need to know about such worthless ideas and crazy notions. Now he had discovered them on his own... this did not please her.

Rygain could tell she was humoring him. She didn't think the humans could be reasoned with, or posed any real threat. "He was armed, not just with a sword, but with an arsenal of weapons and he just dropped them. On the ground. He just dropped his weapons and started speaking to me." He once again, began pondering on the oddity of what that meeting had been. Humans killed dragons, or were slaves to them. There was no in between. But this man's actions spoke differently. According to what he had done, humans and dragons could get along. The more Rygain considered it, the more he wanted to see it become a reality.
"Ryluth, have you ever met another human who has acted in such a strange manner?" he asked. He knew and had experienced much, but Ryluth had experienced more than any other dragon alive.

"It started speaking to you?" Ryluth didn't really care for specifying the humans by gender. They were all the same to her for the most part. Some were prettier than others, and those were the ones she liked to keep around. She liked pretty toys, what dragon didn't?
As he asked if she had seen another human who acted that way, she shook her head, "it's absurd, Ryagin. What did this oh-so-interesting human speak to you about? And did he speak in the human tongue?" she would be incredibly insulted if the lowlife tried speaking in the dragon tongue. The mere thought made her blood boil like the lava in her volcano.

Rygain could tell Ryluth was not happy with this conversation. But he felt as if he had jumped into the ocean and got caught in a riptide. Now he had no choice but to continue until the end. "He spoke in the human tongue. And he told me..." He hesitated. Should he change the words the old man had said to him? No, it would be better to just tell her the truth. She had always told him the true, right? "He said I should not be a puppet or blindly follow and that I should know my enemy." Now came the part he really didn't want to tell her. " So I have been observing the human slaves. And, Ryluth, their ancestors may have once hunted and killed us, but these people... they are different. Some are just sad, and other seem rebellious. Some are deceitful while there are still others who seem to be kind despite being slaves. Surely all the humans can't be evil." Now he was getting into an area where he knew Ryluth was going to need to calm down and think about what he said. Then maybe she could see it his way. They could change the world together, just like they had before, but this time for the betterment of all sentient life, not just the dragons.
