I noticed something...

I recently began another archive trawl in DMFA, and noticed that, while Destania recently* spoke of a cubi conspiracy against dragonkind, there is a dragon clearly shown at SAIA.

Is there anything to be made of this?

there are indications that it's a mythos, not a dragon.

Dragons, it's what's for dinner... with gravy and potatoes, YUM!
Sparta? no, you should've taken that right at albuquerque..

The first one has been identified as a mythos by Amber herself.

Pyroduck was raised by Fa'Lina and is an exception to the rule.

It's also quite possible from this comic that the anti-Dragon conspiracy is something that Dee is pulling on her own.
Someday, when we look back on this, we'll both laugh nervously and change the subject. More is good. All is better.

Ah. Jolly good, then. Thanks for clearing that up.

Or, she could even have been putting on an act for someone (seen or not in that strip).

It should be noted that Dragons and Cubi are compatible according to the oh so cool Hybrid Genetics mini-arc. 

Though I am inclined to believe that it is Mythos because of the exclusivity that Dragons seem to have.

And Dragons are known to double cross Cubi especially so perhaps Dee has suffered at their hands personally, on a Clan level or otherwise. 

Don't forget about Balorie, she has "disappeared", making it possible that has joined a Cubi clan, or suffered retaliation at their hands, after all where did Pyroduck come from that Fa'lina has any claim over the concerns of his mating?

Then again, there's nothing indicating that she's referring to dragons, she could be talking about beings or even another cubi clan. As for timing, we only know that conversation happened sometime before Fa'Lina sent Fi to get Dan, also likely before #78.

I always thought the dragon in #530 was stuffed and mounted, since its eyes looked so weird...

It doesn't seem like Destina has ever been back to SAIA since she married Edward, so that conversation must have taken place before then.  Perhaps that conversation was part of why she left SAIA?

I figured that was a case of Hellish Pupils.

I'm pretty sure Word of God has established that the "dragon" of #530 is actually a mythos, but I don't recall exactly where I saw Amber saying that, just that I'm pretty sure I remember that she did.
