Lesson of the Day: Quit 'Dragon' your Feet Around
Written by Celina Zabinski
After having a long overdue chat with Sammy (link to the Celina and Sammy chat here), Celina wants nothing more than to stay in bed curled up with her duvet and not move. She is feeling very sorry for herself. The chat did not go the way she expected it to. Celina lies in her bed rethinking of her final conversation with Sammy, debating everything. She goes around in circles when suddenly she gets an unexpected vision in her head. She sees a crescent moon, silver, a child alone, a vast forest and a stone circle. Suddenly there’s a pull for her to go there. Celina tosses and turns in her bed refusing to give into the pull. However after a few moments, curiosity wins and she eventually kicks off her duvet. She angrily gets herself ready to go figure out what this vision is all about. She heads towards the stone circle she saw in her vision as she was sure she had recognised the place before.
When she arrives she sees familiar faces. Dwirhian looking her usual self, Sparks-in-shade showing off his perfectly manicured feet and Varga wearing a new coat, which appears to be made out of a dire-wolf. Then there were two new people she hadn’t meet before. A white furred Taxabi named Snowey and a human man with lots of face tattoos named Florian. Celina says hello to everyone and introduces herself to the new people.
As everyone starts talking, it would appear that everyone there had the same vision as Celina. What could it mean? Everyone begins looking around the stone circle area trying to find clues. Celina starts looking around but she’s only half helping and doesn’t see anything useful. Eventually someone points out the dog sized reptilian footprints which lead into the forest area. Someone also remarks that its dragon footprints. Florian whistles and a bird lands on his head. He seems to be communicating to the bird. Celina leaves him do his thing. Celina also notices that there doesn’t seem to be any footprints going into the stone circle and there were so scratch marks on the trees nearby. The group realise the child in the vision was a baby dragon. Everyone discusses what to do and they all decide to head into the forest.
As Celina walks into the forest, she shouts out around her “Come out dragon. We’re here to help you”. There’s some rustling in the trees and bushes nearby. Celina looks to see if it’s the dragon but to her surprise it’s not. It is in fact a large group of fawn and squirrels staring to Celina. Celina freaks out with the amount of animals looking at her and starts to gesture them to go to Florian instead. Celina looks towards the rest of the group. Florian seems to have some sort of hawk pet he calls Gigi. It flies up and joins Snowey in the trees, who seems to be climbing them fast. Varga manages to catch a squirrel and put it in her bag. Everyone is looking around when suddenly someone eventually spots the small dragon. The dragon had silver scales and a long neck with crescent shape, that looks like a small moon just above the tip of its nose. Its wings aren’t big enough to fly but they were emerald green. Its neck and chest has green fur and has green fire flies around it. The baby dragon looks towards our group and chirps and runs off further into the forest. Everyone rushes after it and head further into the forest.
They come across a large clearing, there is a group of birds sitting on some moss. The dragon is over around the birds, looking like it’s talking to them. As the group approach, the moss starts to move and everyone can see it’s not just moss. It is in fact a massive bugbear. It is very old looking, about 70 years and it appears to be completely blind. The group aren’t sure what to say but finally Dwirhian speaks and says calmly “We all wanted to check the baby is ok”. The bugbear quickly replies and says “You have the vision too?”. The two start discussing the visions and realise it’s the same one everyone’s had. Varga chips in and asks “So if you didn’t send the message who did?”. The bugbear points over towards the dragon. Everyone looks over impressed and also curious how a creature that small could have such powerful magic. The bugbear mentions that they’re the Shepard of the Wild and helps out all lost creatures. Florian introduces himself and tries to ask the bugbear what their name is. The bugbear gets confused and says their name is Florian as well. Florian looking pleased says “Dope. We’re name buddies”.
Sparks-in-Shade seems to be the only one that can communicate to the baby dragon. The group learn that his name is Pettifer. Varga offers her squirrel to the baby dragon and he happily eats it up. He seems to get friendly to the group and starts talking. He mentions that he was out exploring the woods and his parents always told him to stay away from the portal but he accidently fell through one. He got lost and couldn’t find his way home. Everyone starts asking more questions about his home. What everyone speculate is that he has to live in the Feywild, possibly in the Summer Courts. He starts to get very hyper and asks for more squirrel, while running around. Everyone decides to head back to the stone circle and see if they can find a way to open the portal. The bugbears seems to trust our group with Pettifer and asks everyone to look out for him.
The group make their way to the stone circle again. Dwirhian mentions her girlfriend can open portals. She suggests going to get her as she didn’t live far from where they were. Everyone thinks it’s a good idea and Dwirhian takes off. The rest of the group stay and decide to see if they can get the dragon super charged and open the portal itself. Celina sits back and smiles watching the chaos trying to get this baby dragon juiced up. She takes out a drink and watches on. There were more squirrels and magic. It was all very chaotic. Snowney did wild magic and seemed to also trigger Pettifer as well. Something about it all being spicy. Pettifer unleashed a large amount of fire, which nearly burned everyone around him. However after all of that, no portals opened. Suddenly, Dwirhian is back with her girlfriend. Dwirhian introduces everyone to BB. She smiles and focuses on opening a portal to the location of the summer court. The group agree it’s best to follow Pettifer back home to make sure he gets there safely and not get lost again. After a few moment, BB has the portal open and mentions she’ll keep it open so everyone can get back.
The group venture on and bring Pettifer with them through the portal. As they all get through to the other side of the portal Pettifer immediately lights up and says he remembers where he is now. He dashes off towards a cave entrance. Everyone says goodbye to Pettifer and feared meeting any of its parents. When suddenly, Pettifer arrives back with his mum. This dragon was massive and looms over everyone in the group. You can see clearly this dragon has a distinct moon crescent on its head as well. They appear to be moon dragons. Eventually the dragon calms her expression. She introduces herself as Zanathir. She thanks the group for bringing her baby home and she provides everyone with platinum.
The group head back out through the portal and BB gives everyone flower crowns. Snowey gets slightly sad looking at Pettifer with his mum. Florian sees this and suggests to anyone to hang around. That he can get the animals to come and everyone can pet them. Everyone thinks it sounds great and Celina agrees to go as well. They all go off and pet some very cute animals. By the end of the day, she is feeling slightly better in herself.
