TDoDK: The other Den of Dari’Karra




The golden muzzle rested on a strewn paw, Dari’s belly looking wider than ever, sprawled to the floor of his cavern. He cast his own flank a long, silent look as he waited. It was curious. He envied the slimmer dragons he met, sleek and regal. Yet his, being so well fed seemed attractive to some, a badge of skill, he supposed… The golden dragon sighed deeply. A dragon would n

TDoDK; Here thar be dragons

The sea was in a pleasant mood today. Not calm. He’d never trust the sea when it was calm. But the tide was even and soothing, rocking the weathered boat back and forth. He could feel the sea through the deck beneath him, batting the ship playfully. The strength of even that basic play shot up his arm as he held the wheel to keep their course.

“You called, captain?”

TDoDK; Nerves to overcome




Kir laid strewn on his back in the cosy room he called home, stirring as sunlight peeked through his solitary window to splay across his bare chest. The zaipu yawned a bit, tufted tail flicking against the smoothed wooden floor. He was a lithe creature, skin a yellowed brown, hair the colour of fresh dirt. Sprightly and fit. An unassuming and common zaipu.

Slowly he sat as the h

TDoDK; The prisoner of Diet




It was an injustice, that he was here. So Vergil thought to himself as he stared at the solid door to and from his prison cell. He knew in his heart he’d done nothing wrong… not that they’d agree, hence the bars and concrete. He was hungry, painfully hungry. But that would change soon.

A light rattle at the door preceded the sole slot in it opening. Though n

The Den of Dari’Karra; The Empress and Dari




“Mm… right there” Weavera crooned, stretching her long body out on the nest of cushions she settled into so comfortably. Twitches in the tendrils at her jaw spoke of the delight shooting up her spine from the tender work of her, little servant.

She opened an eye, glancing down herself. Settled in the crescent shape of her chamber she ha

The dark Alley




It was an all but forgotten corner of the town, where Mark skulked on his way to his evening’s entertainment. All in all, he doubted anyone here would care about his presence, but still, he kept himself quiet as he moved through. The place was forgotten, but far from abandoned. It was a vicious cycle the region was caught in. As it drifted from the eye of the town at large, shadowy dealings crept in, which f

TDODK; The sweetest couple, the sweetest dessert




“You seem in a fine mood today, master”

The sleek green dragon lifted his muzzle from the deep, reflecting pool in the back of his cavern, shooting he human grooming the scales of his sat thigh with a hearty rumble “I am indeed, it’s my favourite day of the month”

“Ah, already?” the human d

The Den of Dari’Karra; Eternally third




There was no flying like stadium flying. The spin of the circuit dizzied the mind, the roaring crowd was a knife edge of distraction and encouragement… each dangerous in their own ways, each fought the careful control of the gryphons flying close, beak to tail. The confined air was like a weather system all its own, the eddies and flows governed by the powerful wings of the fli

The Den of Dari’Karra; A new denizen




“I didn’t do it!” Rilan couldn’t keep the panic out of the screech. Unavoidably, his eyes shot down across the monster below. Long muzzle, gleaming scales. A lick of bright tongue across blue scales, the wet slurp sending a chill down his spine. The dragon was hungry.

The beast sat at the bottom of a cliff, and he, on a thin board suspend

The Den of Dari’Karra





“Try to show a little enthusiasm Rika, and keep your hold firm”

Rika clicked her tongue, once, twice, dispelling everything she wanted to reply. She was young for her role, she knew it, but she resented being reminded of her duties. In her hands she grasped a clipboard, tapping a pencil down the line of expected deliveries for the day. It was true
