Seraphim? Huh. I've heard of Cherubim like that, but not seraphim. Should be interesting, if nothing else.

My favorite is, as my name states, Airis. He was in alot of ancient legends, mighty in size, blue as sahpire. The existance of dragons were being threatened by the humans. Airis made a pact with a young maiden named Cealsey (translated to Kelsey). They formed a bridge between dragonkind and humans. Thus saving the dragon race.

I have a similar story:

There was a great and mighty people, lords of all the land. None would challenge their leadership, for none could challenge their might. None, that is, save themselves. Among them, none sat easy in his place of power, but watched and waited for his brethren to attack. Time passed, days ended, men died, and then the first blow was struck. From that time on, for nigh upon an Epoch, the unique lords vied for the power of the others. For nigh upon an Epoch, they fought with only their lessers, the younger folk than they themselves. One among them, though, realized the inability of the younger folk to come to any result in the battle. Neither could they win nor lose. That one took wing to his eldest brother and attacked him; bringing him, in his surprise, to his knees, and strucking him down. After the first of the Lords had fallen, the others among them stopped their fighting, their squabbling. They realized, then, that they could die, but as it always goes in stories, they realized too late. Some fought with the One Who Fought, some only fled. The One Who Would Fight eventually chased down all those who fled, and conquered them, but of course, was unsatisfied. He began to fight, one by one, those who had helped him before, those who fought at his side. The battles raged on, obliterating entire continents in their wakes, until there remained only the One Who Fought, supreme among the world. Time passed, days ended, and men died. And then, slowly, the One Who Fought realized that the lessers were no longer paying him any attention. None obeyed his commands or tributed their sacrifice. None at all. He, himself, could not bring himself to move; old as he was he had no reason to fight himself, not against the lesser folk. Still, he could get none of them to do his bidding. Time passed, days ended, and the One Who Fought became the One Who Died. Such is the way of the world.

Of course, there's not a word of truth to that besides the passage of time, the ends of days, and the death of men, but I hold it worth saying nonetheless.

I was talking about a dragon. Your story tell the tale of the defenseless non magical human population.

No. The 'great and mighty people' are dragons, friend. The lesser folk used as pawns are humans and their ilk.

Why do so many assume that 'people' automatically means 'humans'? A shame.

Can you bring to light a little more information. I can't find anything on these legends.


And try to stop the "name calling", and this goes for the rest of the threads as well.

Tiamat and Bahamut? They're plenty of fun. Oodles. Like thee and a quarter monkeys. That's about as many as fit in a barrel.
