Tis one of the reasons Ambers work is so bloody wonderful!  :boogie

She really understands just how close love and hate are to each other and how nasty it is when one turns to the other ( or how amazing ).

Huh... the clan symbol on Siar's chest isn't there. I wonder if, as a clan leader, she has such powerful magic she can hide it?

It's there now.

Well well, an entire clan of Cubi (minus Aniz, who doesn't really count) vs one dragon, and the cubi clan gets wiped out.

Kinda gives a sense of how powerful the dragon race really is.  Except for Pyro, who seems pretty weak in his humanoid form.

Of course, to wrongs don't make a right, so Aniz and Destania are still evil in my book.  They chose to give into their hatred and their journey toward the Dark Side is complete!   :mwaha
Three's a crowd:  One lordly leonine of the Leyjon, one cruel and cunning cubi goddess, and one utterly doomed human stuck between them.

Remember, there are 'Cubi, and then there are 'Cubi. There's a huge gap between someone like Dan, and someone like Destania, and another huge gulf between someone like Destania, and someone like Fa'Lina. It's entirely probable that the same rubrick applies to dragons.

Consider, this strip Fa'Lina's choice of words seems to indicate that Abel, a fairly young (and presumably relatively weak) Cubi, is quite capable of killing a dragon. However, that doesn't stop the one that SIar was fighting to be some sort of awesomely powerful monstrosity. I mean, if it made a tri-wing call for help............
Someday, when we look back on this, we'll both laugh nervously and change the subject. More is good. All is better.

Oh... guess it was just a late-night mistake. Sorry, Amber.

Please note that you aren't criticizing Amber's grammar.  You are criticizing Fa'lina's grammar.  That can be dangerous.
Since my earlier warning seems to have gone unheeded, I'll again point out that Amber doesn't suffer typo-spotting gladly (see Lost Lake section rules).

I did apologise before, as a dyslexic and a regular forum member I should know better. So again, sorry.

Also: I see that I was voted down (-1) for this, which I understand. Still don't understand the -60 I had before though, well such is life.

Er...  could someone point me to the section where the rating/karma system is discussed?  I managed to get a -1 at some point and I'd like to know what to avoid.  :/

It's pretty arbitrary.  Basically it's something anyone can do for whatever reason they feel like.
Some boards require a reason to be given for their karma counters, this one doesn't.
At the end of the day it doesn't mean a huge amount anyway.

A thought occurs...maybe the dragon really isn't a dragon?  A fae or something else entirely maybe?  That might be a good reason why it was too strong for Siar, and why everyone got wiped out so easily....

Or, maybe, just unspoken, there was an ambush planned.....

Just a couple thoughts.

Demonology says the Dragons are as powerful as the Fae, possibly more so.

Well, there's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just that it adds complexity with no obvious payoff  :P

Weeelllll....maybe I'm thinking too much into this but......

Near as I can tell, Fae can live for nearly forever, and that can get any being bored....so why not strike up some trouble, cause some conspiracies, and the such?   And what better way to do that than to off nearly a whole clan (or maybe they were hoping to get the whole caboodle, and it just became more interesting)?

Thus, i can see a fae eing the ultimate man/woman behind the man/woman.   And I'll be honest, I'm a little biased against the fae...I am not a fan of anyone who manipulates another, especially when lives are on the line, one way or another.  (And yes, that means I am NOT a good fan of Mabs...No end justifies the means!!!  And this thought goes with all other chars doing the same basic thing  :P)

SOoooo....I can see a fae being the "Dragon" in this case.

Is there really evidence that Pyro is a weak dragon? It's entirely possible to be powerful but not use your strengths. Sure, they may be weaker in their being (humanoid) forms, and younger dragons wouldn't be as powerful as older ones either.

On a side note... The Siar clan seems to employ dragon-head tentacles, shown in this strip, and in strip 51. Which seems to point towards the Edward/Aniz theory..

Dan is definitely clan Cyra, so I think that's moot.  Especially if Siar doesn't survive the fight with Hizell.

Not to mention that Dragon Head tentacles are a sign of a living clan leader or being very powerful.. so it doesn't really.

According to Amber, any Fae will live until they don't feel like living anymore.

The way I've put it, is that theoretically they can live forever, but in practice they don't. Which is basically the same thing.

Hah! More evidence for the Aniz/Edward theory, since it counteracts the claims Edward didn't have the marking! >:3

Except he has the marking later, when he reveals himself to Abel.

So it's probably just an error.

I have devoted countless hours studding dragons (yes i have no life) and what i know of grate wryms and ascended dragons the oldest age groups are about the size of aircraft carriers and have the power to level a country or a whole nastions depending on the breed as well. A standered dragon is the size of a 747 and can mach a battle ship for power, so her calling in her clan to be cannon fadder as she targits the dragons vitale points is a good plan even if the loses would be above 95%

Earindil>Ancalagon the black.


And I'm pretty sure Ancalagon tops Hizell. 1, it's Tolkien. 2. Ancalagon could blot out the sun. If an elf can take down a badass dragon, why not a 'Cubi.  How tough or weak dragons are totally depends on the setting. Ever read "The Dragonslayer's apprentice"? Dragons aren't very tough at all, not even on the top of the monster food chain (Certain types of giant birds are.)
Someday, when we look back on this, we'll both laugh nervously and change the subject. More is good. All is better.

Siar was quite the idiot getting the whole damn clan wiped out.

Too bad they did stay home and select a new smarter leader of the clan.

Would think she would know to NOT take on a Dragon on even terms or a fair fight.

Well, we don't know that she started it.  However, the way she handled the situation once it arose leaves a lot to be desired.  That said, hindsight is 20/20.
