well... there are so many things gone wrong with this pic that I don't even know were to begin... but I will let the reader discovere them and be amaised at my lack of skill. ANyways, the story: The male ( on top ) is Draghi, main char in my story ( along with his winter elven master Jonaleth Feinhaart ), and the female ( below ) is the dragoness of Amelya Pinefrost a winter elfess ( or what ever they call elven women ). Well, this is a bit of a Romeo and Juliet story, the dragons' respective masters hate each other, but the dragons are madly in love with each other. But no matter how strong their fealings for each other are, their loyalities lie with their masters first ( so they won't just fly off togheter ). But they are not going to give up on either. They have been secretly meeting for several seasons now, away from their masters' eyes. Dragons of their race ( green ) mate for life, and these two have selected eachother as mates, but they can only seal this bond if they mate and have hatchlings togheter. But unlike Romea and Juliet, this love story will have a happy ending, as the two draconians will not only manage to stop their masters from hating each other, but they will even be able to open their masters' eyes and make them see that the two elves have many things in common ( unlike what they thought initially) and will fall in love themselves, after some time. On this particular autumn meeting, Draghi made a small rade in one of the elven Orchyards and brought his love a branch of appeles. I thought apples were the most apropiate gift that a dragon could make another dragon. Appeles are uncomon enough ( in the willd ) so that it's a rare treat, but also ortinary enough so as to not make it a materialistic gift. My dragons are mostly carnivorous, so bringing her meat would be nothing out of the ortinary and if he brought anything that is non-comestible ( like jullery or other shiny things ) it would only go to enforce the idea that dragons are treasure horders. And lastly, she will not just snatch the appeles from the branch and gooble them down quickly ( as dragons usually do with meat ), but she will savore them by taking each one and crushing it with her jaws and then smearing it all over the inside of her mouth so as to get the most out of the sweet taste. Not to mentione that she will be very pleasently surprised by her mate's gift. P.S. yea, that big blob of pencill in the upper left corner is sapposed to be a apple.
