Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seeing Aksaja in his natural state, Jericho took a moment to look him over. He was certainly different from the dragons he knew of, but at the same time he was similar in a sense as well. The explanation of his parents, though he seemed reluctant to speak of them, were intriguing as well. He was fairly interested in learning of other dragon types out there outside of the ones he was familiar with.

"All the main types are like that as well... varying in size and color. There are a few species that are different though, and then there are the dragonkin, which are like the ones you speak of on two legs. I haven't really met many of the other types, but my father kept a few kobolds as servants... er... they're small two legged dragon-like beings... not too bright they are though," he said, "Both my parents are reds as well. Though, they're both larger than I am. And if nothing happens, they'll grow even bigger eventually."

Rubbing his chin at that thought, he had to wonder just how big the dragons of Aksaja's home could get exactly.

"We can get pretty big, but few live long enough to reach gargantuan proportions. Only the oldest, wisest, and most powerful elder dragons get that big. Never want to piss one of those guys off though," Jericho added with a slight shudder, "So do you have a different type for each of the elements basically? Seems like there's quite a few there."

Nodding to Aksaja in understanding, Jericho was now imagining all the different sorts of dragons there may be. Then again, if he recalled, there were a number of similar ones from his own home though to a lesser degree.

"Well there's ten main types; five metallic and five chromatics. The metallics are the gold, silver, bronze, brass and copper and the chromatics are red, black, blue, green, and white... generally speaking the metallics are seen as the 'good' and chromatics are the 'evil'... though I don't know how well that statement holds up now but I guess we're still sorta natural enemies," he mused. That general statement had been set up long ago probably whenever dragons actually interacted with humans for real, "There's a bunch of other dragons as well like the song, shadow, and chaos dragons."

"I... don't suppose you have any sort of thing like that where you're from do you? Sects of dragons that... really don't get along?"

Frowning at Aksaja's explanation, Jericho felt that had to be rough. The way he said it made it seem as if dragons were on the verge of extinction! Dragons couldn't go extinct; it was just.. unfathomable. It would be a sad day indeed should they be wiped out from his home. He had to wonder what could have caused the population to diminish so much. It had to have been something pretty big.

"Dragons aren't exactly common where I'm from either but I don't think we're quite that rare. At least if you know where to look," he said quietly, "Do you know what happened exactly though?"

"Hrm.."

That was a little troubling, but Jericho supposed it really wasn't of his concern. The thought of dragons having population issues like that disturbed him though, and he had to wonder if whatever happened was a possibility of what could happen to his own home. It wasn't really something he'd like to see.

Nodding to the other dragon, Jericho replied, "Yeah I probably should get to working on my own stuff as well. I'll see you around then."

With a grin, he started for the door so he could go on to his own room. He wasn't really looking forward to doing homework, but it needed to be done sooner or later.
