Lady Hysteria is it possible for you to tell me the secret to making Vultures of my own? I would love one just because they look so adorable and fluffy!! X3

Hysteria : Be a portal master, that is how I could breathe life into my vultures. I just sort of… pushed my leftover food together and made them.

Are there any wingless Kuros or sea dragons that are Kuros, you know, water dragons like Zap and Echo, except they’re sea Kurosian dragons?

Lost Queen : Oh yes, not all Kuros had wings. As long as they had black main scales and Kuronium, they’re Kuros. Our sea/water god Adanbarinthen (Who I will explain further eventually) was wingless.

Where does a Kuros’ element come from? Is it your entire being or a special organ that generates the breath?

Lost Queen : Depends on the Kuros, honestly. Some had physical adaptions to aide their abilities while some worked from aura or magic. Take for example: Myself. My element is one that feeds off my emotions and aura, so I have little to no organs helping me to harness it. It’s all mentality. However Havok, I’ve noticed, has developed a thing most fire breathing dragons have; flame retardant mucus that lines his throat. When it comes to what creates that fire… I’m not all that sure, at least not for him. 

I know I asked one question already during the last one, but I will put another in anyway in case that one was not usable Although I hope thats not the case, cause I really wanna see that question answered… Lets see, now… Why do Kurosians choose to be evil?

Lost Queen : Because we were born with a purpose, we were created to serve that purpose. And that purpose was to keep the crucial balance between good, and evil. There must always be evil, and there must always be good to combat it. We took pride in that purpose, it is a very important niche that we took. We provided Skylands with Dark Magic, spells for others to use, misfortune to remind others of their fortune. We were the ying to the yang, and again, we took pride in that.

Lost Queen, how was the Kurosian military organized? The various ranks in the army, types of soldiers, and battle strategies?

Lost Queen : The military was the finest in… well not to boast, but all of Skylands. It was what made us the most lethal. There were plenty of different factions, ranks, etc. consisting of specially trained soldiers, warlords, mages, archers, you name it. Training could take years to even become a soldier, and to be king or queen, you had to go through at least 50-80 years of military work, and decades before and during of going to special colleges. I spent my ENTIRE life preparing to be Queen, and I was very involved with military, serving in countless battles. I never became a Warlord, but I worked directly with the Queen during her final days. 

To explain it a little more simply, the head of the military force was of course, the King and Queen. We spearheaded the battles, and we were the first to attack. Following us were the Silverwings; the fastest, most precise Kuros bathed in liquid Kuronium. After we would attack, often to surprise our enemy, the King and Queen would fly off to observe the battle but right behind us the Silverwings would attack fast. Furthering confusion. After them, that is when our Warlords (there were between 100-200 Warlords active at a time, and they would control their own generals, squads of soldiers, mages, etc). 

The ONLY good thing about Kurogh was that he was an amazing war tactician. During his rule, we almost never lost a war or battle. He knew just when to attack, how to attack, everything. It’s a shame he was just a Tir’Ukak of a Kuros otherwise.

Hey Havok? I was just wondering, your father has a massive army of minions, your mother has her gargoyles, and Hysteria has a small army of chimeras. What serves you? Do you have any sort of army to aid in your attacks?

Havok : I have the usual minions that are employed by my father but… eh, I prefer to work alone. If I need minions for an attack, I have the capabilities to create elemental minions on the spot. I’m not all that great at leading an army or anything… I’m usually too busy doing stuff myself. I’ve watched my parents deal with leading armies and organizing and…feeeh, too much work. 

I just like to break things and make the Skylanders cry, if I can accomplish that, I’m a happy panda. 

Did your people use some sort of magic to melt Kuronium? Or was it something that only needed high temperatures?

Lost Queen : Your first guess was correct, actually. Dark magic and unique malevolent fire of some sort (like shadow fire, aura fire…there’s lots of different types of fire) was traditionally used to hone Kuronium. The smithing done in Kurosia was the best, most advanced forms of this, as we had the blacksmiths (that often doubled as priests and priestesses for Wunjabrot, our blacksmithing god) that could sing the prayers needed for Wunjabrot to bless the metal, making it powerful and the most magical. It’s still possible to smelt our metal other ways, but it’s often not as strong as Wunjin-honed Kuronium. The metals I have now aren’t as strong as they once were, as Wunjabrot is… silent, like most of the other Gods.

I have a random question about the Kuros. Do you have to be entirely black to become a Kuros or can you have some bright colours just not the entire body. Like lets use mrs lost queen for example what if she had more purple colours on her instead of black? Would she still be considered a Kuros? Or what if someone was completely idk red or yellow with very little black but had relatives that were Kuros? Would they be a kuros too?

Lost Queen : The key thing about Kuros is our black scales (which can be a dark grey all the way to jet black) and Kuronium, the unique metal that is our bones. If the dragon’s main scale color is not black, AND if they do not have Kuronium; they are not Kuros. Secondary colors are just that, secondary, a complimentary color instead of main. But, it is possible for another species of dragon to have Kurosian blood in their line. Very possible, actually; Kuros have been around for quite a long, loooong time. 

Kuros are very strange when it comes to genetics. I think I could be the best example with this. None of it is proven, since I never found out who exactly my mother was, but it’s likely that my father, Acerbus, had Kurosian ancestry. A banished Kuros could have survived the hunters and reproduced with another species of dragon, but while there aren’t exactly ‘half breed’ kuros, some of the offspring could have been born the non-kurosian species but still carried the genes to produce a Kuros later down the family tree. 

There have been times a Kuros pops up in say… Warfang, yet neither of the parents are Kuros. It happens. Happened to me. I was lucky as others had stood up for me. I’m certain there had been a few before me that weren’t as lucky.

What were Kurosian homes like? Were they like apartments? Or were they separate?

Lost Queen : We had homes, apartments, faction houses, etc. Mostly made of dark wood and stone. At the very entrance of the city, just past the sky ports, we had special inns that non-Kurosian visitors had to stay in, as you had to be a Kurosian citizen to own property within the city or even rent. There were exceptions for visiting royals of the sort, special sections were closed off within the castle for such cases.
