Brain is Musty...: Ficlet O'Clock Truth or Dare

[scribblemyname]

This entry is part 35 of 35 in the series 365 Challenge

The current prompts are leaving me dull and uninspired. Seeking creative procrastination: ask me any question about how something works in a storyworld, a why that's been pestering you, or any backstory you just really want to know, and I'll commentfic it.

If that doesn't inspire you, how about a character (original or fandom) and something crazy you would dare them to do.

Re: Blood of Dragons [3/3]

Shaina's last name is Casal and she was a member of one of the hunting teams in Crossing the Barrier, but she went as back hand. Her gift is a mixture of Rogue/Ashen/the Database: she absorbs like Rogue, but keeps entries permanently, and can put life into people as well. She uses a borrowed healing power when she touches people (which she does rarely) to keep them alive.

Later in the timeline, sometime immediately before or after the Opening of the Barrier to outsiders. Nobody really trusts the dragons. Mãenet usually are afraid of them.

Oh. I didn't realize she was on one of the other teams, even after rereading it. I guess I didn't pay enough attention.

Ah, like the supercharged Rogue, only a bit different. Cool.

The sword thing threw me off. I was thinking it must be earlier.

So... Dragons are kind of... outcasts even among the kahtchen?

The sword's traditional.

Let's just say they can have personal relationships and respect, but the prejudice hasn't been all stamped out. Aysha's reaction to Rohth under pressure wasn't pretty. It's because they fight Rothnari all the time who bred for dragon. It's become common to call Rothnari dragons and that's when dragons began to be a perjorative.

Okay.
