Other Worlds Than These (Discussion Thread)

Oh, yes, I was going to mention (and maybe you all have this worked out already) that the dragon doesn't have to actually be evil. In Perelandra, there are beasts which look like dragons but behave like dogs - following humans around like shadows, nuzzling legs and hands, and sleeping very heavily. They mean nobody any harm.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Also - if we're taking Narnia into account, we must be sure that it is not a human-turned-dragon!

Edit: That's what I get for skimming, instead of reading - you all were way ahead of me with that one.

Well, I will say that both Rivailen and Beryn have made certain assumptions about the dragon which may turn out not to be true.

Earniel, it's up to you whether or not Beryn's close enough to hear Rivailen at this point, depending if there's anything you particularly want to respond to or not.

I'm getting visions of Beryn sneaking up on the dragonlet, ready to kill it, only for it to turn around, lick her face with a big pink tongue excitably and wanting her to toss a stick to play fetch next.

Undoubtedly. But that's the fun of it when other worlds get tossed in the mix, what you think is true about your world, is not necessarily so, but often not at all applicable on other worlds.

I wonder if Beryn has taken into account that it even might be Anahera's pet.

Yeah, I was planning on one closing comment before sending her off. Will do that tonight. Planning and packing for the holidays is a bit hectic and I still have to find those dratted Entwives tonight too.

i was thinking of a connection with the dragon and anahera! i think she could do with a pet right now, she's a little in shock!
