Tag: life before the fall

Lost Queen : Well there was Talv, but he was the only one I knew of. Very, very mellow dragon from what I remember, worked in the blacksmithing forge down in the city. Beautiful horns, but he didn’t seem to thrilled about them…er, or anything. His family came from a cave-dwelling tribe deep in the Kurosian mountains rumored to have been slain by a pack of Uka, but he, like many who come from slain clans, didn’t speak about it. He seemed to have a sense of humor though, he was really good at telling jokes with a straight face.

What was the rarest Kurosian Element?

Lost Queen : Not to toot my own horn but… honestly I think mine. I didn’t meet another Kuros with ‘fury’ specific powers. I’ve met others who were strong with their own auras, able to use them similarly to how I use my fury to breathe into concentrated streams and strengthen my physical attacks. But not fury. I wasn’t really treated any differently because of it; actually, it was harder to train since nobody shared my element. 

Lost Queen : We had COUNTLESS songs,  too many for me to really list. But we were mostly known for our Battle Songs, which this post goes into more detail with. 

As for dancing, we had plenty of dances too~ My personal favorite dances were the ones we’d do in the skies. We’d cover our bodies with darkness, and paint over ourselves in whatever patterns we liked. We’d take to the sky, and dance with our wings. 

Lost Queen : Sort of, as long as the animal had more of a use. We had Numkul, or the Praying Venus plants. They were an all female plant race that we kept in our gardens to eat up all the unwanted rodents, snakes, etc. from eating our crops. We also used them as gifts to other villains. They USED to prey on us like the Uka did, but we killed their Queen and they now happily serve us (to save their own, of course). 

Lost Queen : Oh, the Brujin Priests and priestess’? Sure~

Each God had it’s own sections of priests, priestesses, etc. Bruja’s priesthood consisted of both males and females, as gender or sex didn’t quite matter. They of course had to be accepted by Bruja to become such; if chosen, their eyes glow a bright blue, their secondary colors drained by Bruja to leave their scales completely black, and if they didn’t already have it, they also gained the Holy Blue Fire. Those born with the flame were often held higher in ranks among the churches, as Bruja specifically chose their eggs for a purpose. These chosen Kuros often became aids in war.

Most Brujin priests/priestess’ were exempt from going to war if they chose so, but if they did wish to aid, they often stayed back and blessed as many warriors as they could from afar. They also gave others the Holy Fire for a limited amount of time, or lent them extra energy. Each God’s following served different purposes in war situations, like the Mahourian Brothers and Sisters healed and helped rescue wounded Kuros on the field.  

More duties of the priesthood of Bruja was to help others meditate to Bruja’heim, help complete the Bruja’Diofuil, and aide the King and Queen in decisions for war. 

Lost Queen : That it does, yes. Even our teeth are the same color as our horns, though I have seen those that have multicolored horns/teeth, etc. Those are also rare too, and there’s a reason why.

Kurosia was the heart of all Kurosians. It was where we as a species first came into being. The kuros that lived here were of silver and grey skeletons, sometimes black, but other colors such as copper, gold etc are actually from past cities that were destroyed. Those with colored horns are the children of those survivors. So unfortunately, there were more silver/grey Kuros than other shades due to Kurosia being the longest standing city with the highest population.
