THE MYTHICAL CREATURES MEME

HOW IT WORKS:

You can either use the RNG or pick whichever creature you like.
Leave a comment with your muse. Now they are a mythical creature.
Others will tag your muse as a different or the same magical creature, or a human, or what they naturally are, or whatever they like.
If you'd prefer, all these creatures can appear human, but shift between forms.
Have fun!

It really is...

[Skyfire gives her a half smile]

Unfortunately...

[He leads her over to what looks like a plain rock wall and shoves an arm into a hole... triggering a door to slide open... So he was bored and made something to hide his home...]

Do you have a preference in surfaces to rest on?

[The walls of the tunnel are lit with softly glowing stones, inlaid into carvings of plants and creatures... The tunnels are covered in said carvings... someone clearly has too much free time on his paws...]

[She follows him into the cave.]

You are the only dragon in the area?

[She looks around in wonder. It is not the first time she's been in another dragon's cave but this is certainly one of the more elaborate ones.]

Not really. I can basically sleep anywhere.

[Elaborate and large as well, since there are lots of tunnels branching off into other tunnels... Someone should get out more...]

Ah... yes... I haven't seen any others.

[He looks a little sad at that. It wasn't like he could go very far from home and his food supply...]

Well, you can sleep anywhere, but what would you prefer?

[Skyfire wanted to make sure she'd be comfortable, just because he likes the soft thick moss he'd grown in a few caves for resting on, it didn't mean she would.]

I see...

[It was a little sad to hear. She came from a clan, so she couldn't imagine what it was like to be the only dragon around.]

How about a soft surface?

[Sad as it was, he was rather used to it. Before meeting Rose, he wasn't even sure there were other dragons. It was nice to be wrong in that thought.]

That I can do.

[He smiles and leads her to a really pretty cave. It's walls are caved with images of numerous plants and birds and one wall has a large 'hole' covered in what looks like very thick glass, allowing a view of the world outside. The floor of the cave looks like it's been heated to the point of being molten and cooled... Skyfire had been putting his fire to good use.

Someone is clearly trying to impress her...]

Will this do? I can do have other options if this isn't to your liking...

[Over against one wall there is a thick pad of what looks like moss, making up a soft and comfortable sleeping area.]

[Rose follows him and looks around in wonder at the chamber as they enter. She has seen other dragon dwellings before, but nothing like this. Especially one with a window to look from.]

It is amazing...

[She looks over to the moss and smiles some.]

That will do just fine.

[She goes over to the moss, and stretches like a big cat before settling down on it.]

[He watches her for a moment and looks sheepish when he realizes he's staring.]

Um... Shall I leave you to rest?

[While Skyfire really doesn't want to leave, he won't force his company on her if she wants to rest. He'd been on his own for so long, what would it hurt if he had to wait a few more hours for some conversation?]

[She seems to sense his unwillingness to leave. Not that she can blame him since he has been alone for all these years.]

You can stay around if you still want to talk. I don't mind.

[He shifts a little, clearly unsure of himself. Skyfire had been alone for so long, he... wasn't really sure how to interact with anyone...]

Oh... um... If... if you're sure...

[Socially awkward and inept? Yup. Since there is no other 'bed' in the chamber, Skyfire stays a respectable distance from her and settles on the stone floor of the cave. He didn't want to invade her personal space...]
