No matter how mild-mannered a young dragon typically is, they’re prone to moody swings as they grow and it’s not unusual for a teenage dragon to suddenly become rather grumpy. They can’t help the sudden sour mood. Of course, bad behaviour should be corrected, but no amount of telling them to “cheer up” will change … Continue reading Sour Hour

Different Approach
Gryphons are very graceful fliers, often outpacing and outmanoeuvring dragons. They ride the wind like an autumn leaf, drifting in the lightest breeze. But with flight being so easy and efficient, gryphons often end up seeking excitement in other places, and are one of the few creatures to actively seek out sport. Climbing is quite … Continue reading Different Approach
Separate Ways
Master Brown has a beautiful stag familiar named Cernos, but Cernos is rarely seen about the town. He lives a life entirely wild and away from people, only entering the town when needed. He and his mage seem at peace with the arrangement and meet up in the woods several times a day to exchange … Continue reading Separate Ways
Spitfire
Spitfire is a fierce companion. He may be tiny but he is brave, bold, and frankly oblivious to how diminutive he is. He’ll dive-bomb anyone and anything that agitates him or crosses his boundaries. It’s cute because he’s so tiny and harmless, but he really needs to learn some self control. One day he might … Continue reading Spitfire
Expression
Red doesn’t really speak. He says the odd word here and there, but mostly he communicates with little chirrups and peeps, or just with looks and motions. He just seems to prefer it this way, and one quickly learns to pay attention. At first he may seem detached from conversations or classes, but be assured … Continue reading Expression
Festooned
A mane full of decorations is not to Brawn’s personal taste, but when his mage has a three-year-old who likes to play dress-up, he finds himself being festooned in trinkets and adornments. Some might get alarmed to imagine a small child playing with a great big lion, but familiars are not pets, nor are they … Continue reading Festooned
Jasper
Jasper is an eclectic gatherer. He might look cute, he might laugh in rough little crow cackles, but he has a habit of dive-bombing through the trees to snatch a treat, to grasp at a berry or nut or herb, startling anyone in the vicinity as he goes. Sometimes he gets tangled in the branches … Continue reading Jasper
Plentiful
It is well known that dragon pups enjoy sweet foods and are often attracted to fruits and berries, but it is always very cute when a dragon’s hoarding instinct kicks in and they decide to hoard autumn’s bounty. It is irresistible to them, and the pups feel compelled to stop whatever they’re doing to gather … Continue reading Plentiful
Mountain Masters
When we speak of Masters, we often refer to a mage and their familiar having mastered a certain craft, but in the case of Ella and her mage, they have mastered something far more taxing, something that magic can only begin to direct and control – the very mountains themselves. Mastery doesn’t have to come … Continue reading Mountain Masters
Wing Instrument
Magical craft doesn’t have to involve the standard tools – cauldrons, crystal balls, wands – it can be however you express yourself, or however you feel a connection to your own power. For Diamond, she uses a range of techniques including colour, music, and decoration. How much these things do for the magic is debatable, … Continue reading Wing Instrument
