Dragon Wings

The dragon quietly folds his wings and ignores you for several minutes. Finally, as if deciding that you are worthy of his notice, his deep voice rumbles "This is Dragon Mountain. You must have been a strong and courageous traveler to have come here on your own; therefore you are welcome to explore our mountain range. I will make arrangements for your safe passage." Just before the dragon launches himself into the air and to head towards the tallest summit, he turns again and says "May the wind run smooth and strong through your wings", a dimarian dragon blessing.

The Oriental Dragon Tradition

Whereas Western dragons are usually found in mountains or forests, The best oriental dragons are more likely to be found in the sea. Many oriental dragons resemble water snakes. Oriental dragons rarely breath fire, instead if a mortal annoys one then it is likely to result in great floods.The traditional Western dragon is often seen as a brutish creature to be feared. Oriental dragons tended to be wise and benevolent - as long as they were given the respect they deserved. Their chief flaw was their vanity and if insulted could cause dreadful natural disasters.Oriental dragons fly to and from heaven in clouds but do not usually have wings. Some sources say that they gain wings after living for a thousand years.To identify the origin of an Oriental dragon, look at its claws. If it has five claws per foot it probably comes from China. Three claws means Japan. Four claws means Korea.China and Japan have interesting legends to explain this. The Chinese say that the dragon originated in China and lost toes as they spread further afield. This is why they could not reach the West, because if they did they would have no toes left.The Japanese take a different view. They argue that the dragon orginated in Japan and grew toes as they travelled. If they travelled too far then they would end up with too many toes to be able to walk properly!

Dragon Things

A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

Sunday

Judges and clients breathe fire at me,
Deadlines galore, I'm busy you see.
My notes are all cluttered - oh, such a mess!
Who is to rescue this damsel in distress?
Some like dictation the old-fashioned way;
Pens are mightier than swords some say;
But this monster of paper, I need to slay.
Is there a hero, my fears to allay?
Along came a Dragon to set my hands free,
Alas, to command with my words, not a key.
The power to punctuate using my voice,
Across the kingdom, there's no better choice.
I've come out of Dark Ages and into the light,
and I see how Dragon unleashes my might.
Research, pleadings, contracts, and letters,
How nice is to work without fetters.
Along came a Dragon, a lawyer to save,
Its praises I cannot help but to rave.

Chinese Culture

Dragons are deeply rooted in the Chinese culture. The Chinese often consider themselves, 'the descendants of the dragon. Nobody really knows where the dragon comes from. The dragon looks like a combination of many animals. For the Chinese people, Dragons were described visually as a composite of parts from nine animals: The horns of a deer; the head of a camel; the eyes of a devil; the neck of a snake; the abdomen of a large cockle; the scales of a carp; the claws of an eagle; the paws of a tiger; and the ears of an ox.
