Thought Fart #2

Sorry these are a tad random, but I figured jotting down “thought farts” would be a fun way to share wee tid-bits of ideas I have 😀

“Pompeii” by Bastille. Everytime I hear this song, I always imagine if the Skylanders, lead by Cynder, wondered the city and witnessed a ‘haunting’. 

Kurosia is a very much haunted city, which is why only the castle is inhabited. Parts of the city tends to relive parts of Kurosian history, and during “Pompeii” I imagine Cynder and the others witness a celebration/Wing Dance. Everything appears as it was, as if the dragons flying and singing around them are actually there and celebrating. They even spot a young Feuriah, Wing Dancing with Kruta and her old friends.

When the song ends, their visions slow and melt away to leave them in a silent, abandoned part of Kurosia.

Lost Queen : You see, Athrenna was far beyond Kurogh. When you fought to become the King or Queen, you gave it your all. Every bit of you, you fight. To show the people that you are are giving everything to lead them. This often lead to deaths, but the goal wasn’t meant to kill the other. Rather, it wasn’t meant to. You fought with everything you have to prove your strength, and if the other dies, that was a sign that your will and strength was greater than theirs. If you match them, then you were both meant to lead the people. 

Kurogh fought Athrenna over and over, because he wanted to be King not to lead the people like he believed, but to prove his self worth. He let his jealousy of his half brother, Asiirha, corrupt him. It gave him an unquenchable thirst for power and respect. He was a genius, a marveled mind for war strategy and execution, but his selfishness got the better of him long ago.

Athrenna saw right through that, and because of it, she easily beat him every single time. But she did not kill him. Despite his selfishness, she didn’t kill him because that was not the goal of the battle. He was the best Warlord to grace Kurosia, she valued that, but she fought him with all that she had to save our race from his jealous selfishness. 

The only reason Kurogh became King was because she died. When she passed… I knew my time had come. Kurogh had a tainted view of what the Kurosian future would be, and I had to do what Athrenna had worked so hard to keep from him. I had to protect my people, bring her ideals back to it’s streets, and finally after a hundred years of training I had to fight Kurogh to become Queen.

Begging your pardon Lost Queen, but i’m rather curious about Kurosian beverages: Did the Kuros ever have any form of Alcoholic drinks?

Lost Queen : Oh yes, plenty. Our most unique was our dragon only Vaercea (Vee-air-sha), or “Blood Wine”. It was a wine that was so strong that it was advised that only dragons should drink it, as it takes a lot more for us dragons to feel effected. It was made with a mixture of blood (different blood makes different Vaercea), and was accompanied with a bowl of berries. You were meant to drink the wine, and nibble on the berries, which gave a very delicious aftertaste.

I used to really love Vaercea back in my college years, but for some reason I always woke up the next day in fountains. No idea why that stuff always made me want to swim in fountains… 

Ruudtal, how did you and Ari meet? And would you happen to know anyone or have any connections to a person named Sabir?

Ruudtal: Well of course I know Sabir! She is my mother and with out her I would have died a long time ago…

And I met Ari when we were very small, about 5? Honestly I don’t remember a time when he wasn’t by my side. My mother adopted him from a distant family member or something. 

OOC : Excuse my exploding heart

Lost Queen : If it does, nobody knows for sure. There are many legends and tales about Bhailiu, some say it has no bones, that it is just darkness taking the owl gryphon’s form. While others say that it’s true form has black bones, like it’s talons and beak.

One legend tells of a very stubborn King who refused to accept his death. When Bhailiu came for his soul, he stood up to it and challenged it for the right to live again. Bhailiu then changed it’s form; sprouting dozens of long, spider like arms, it’s head twisted upside down while it’s jaws opened all the way along the neck, and rows of black, glistening teeth grew within the abyss of it’s mouth. It lunged and swallowed the stubborn King up, shifted back to normal, and flew back to the Veil.

Personally, I’ve never seen Bhailiu do this, and the most I saw this awe striking God do was shift sizes and sing. It is also said to speak in both a male and female voice, but again, I’ve never seen it.

Can Yehkshire control what element their young get, or influence it? Because Feuriah’s element seems VERY different from that of her immediate family, so I was wondering if it came from the influence of her mother?

OOC : Not really, there’s a handful of Yehkshire for every element. The abilities OF the element can change, like how a fire elemental can breathe lava or fire, what color fire, etc. That tends to depend on the type of male they pick to breed with. The male doesn’t have to be the same type, they simply look for strong/powerful males to prey on.

There are more elemental Yehkshire than the Skylander elements, as there’s few Yehkshire for Ice, Water, Wind, etc. Pretty much following Legend elements. Though there’s no Yehkshire for Dark since… well, they’re all dark versions OF the elements xD

As for Feuriah’s mommy, there’s two possibilities. I may or may not reveal much about her, like Acerbus being her father it wasn’t something I ever really planned on revealing. But I may 8D

Can kurosian dragons be born from non-kurosian dragons? Like could it be a sudden pop-up of that bloodline after being dormant, or does there have to be a close kurosian blood relative, like a grandmother or something? I love the idea of a “stain” on a pure bloodline, that leaves the child seen as a monster…but I feel like maybe Feuriah had that happen?

OOC: YEP, that’s totally possible. It can happen after generations, but I feel would happen more closely if it was a great-great-grandparent rather than an ancient ancestor. But I’m not going to say that can’t happen either ;D
