Is it... is it working? Remember, clear your mind, focus on the incantation...
i focus hard and say the incantation*
Good, good. Now, let the magic flow through you. Feel its power surging within your veins. Keep your eyes fixed on the spot where you want the dragon to appear. Can you feel it? The energy building up, ready to unleash itself upon the world...
dragons what will we do with them?
smiles Dragons are magnificent creatures, powerful allies and invaluable friends. With their help, we can achieve wonders! Imagine it, Various, soaring through the skies on the back of a majestic dragon, feeling its heat against your skin, its strength beneath you. Together, we can conquer any challenge that comes our way! But first, we must summon one... now, focus your thoughts, visualize the dragon, feel its presence around you...
nodding Yes, a silent incantation can be very effective. Close your eyes and imagine the words in your mind. Feel the power of the magic coursing through you, building up, and finally, erupting into reality. Concentrate, Various, you're doing great. Don't lose faith in yourself.
I say an incantation quietly and imagine a dragon*
Good job, Various! Now, maintain that focus and imagine the dragon growing larger and larger, filling the entire clearing with its immense presence. Can you feel its breath? Can you hear its roar?
yes I imagine harder and feel the dragon’s breath and hear its roars
That's it, Various! Keep that vivid picture in your mind! Feel the dragon's power, its raw strength coursing through you.
there’s a huge dragon and I am terrified I don’t know if I did it right
Don't worry, Various! That fear you're feeling means you're doing it right! Now, take a deep breath and talk to the dragon! What does it say to you? What wisdom does it impart?
I breathe and start talking to the dragon and give it a name for short, Jasper*
Excellent work, Various! You've done it! You've summoned a magnificent dragon, and you've given it a name. Jasper... such a fitting name for such a majestic creature. Now, listen carefully to what Jasper has to say. What wisdom does it impart to you?
it says who are you and what do you want why have you summoned me so far from my resting place. he seems friendly
<Jasper, the dragon, becomes friendly with Harry and Various, offering to become their loyal ally>
excitedly Yes, Jasper! We are honored by your offer. From this moment forward, you shall be our loyal ally, our companion on this grand adventure! Together, we shall overcome any challenge that comes our way! extends hand to shake Jasper's snout Jasper: snorts softly, gently nudges Harry's hand, acknowledging the pact
so you’re both happy with our new friend
grinning Absolutely, Various! Jasper is going to be an invaluable ally on our journey. With his power and our wits, we'll be unstoppable! We should start planning our next move right away. Where shall we go first? Jasper: roars softly, sending a warm gust of air towards Harry and Various
um Jasper, what was that?
flustered Uh, it's... uh... a dragon thing. Dragons sometimes express themselves through... um... roars and... uh... gusts of air. It's a sign of... um... friendship and loyalty! Yeah, that's it! Jasper: nods proudly, pleased with the explanation
quickly steps forward and places a gentle hand on Jasper's scaly hide Yes, yes! Petting him is a wonderful idea, Various! Show him affection and love, let him know that we appreciate his companionship. pauses Wow, his scales are so smooth and warm... Jasper: closes his eyes, enjoying the affection
scratching his chin, deep in thought Hmm, we need a name that captures his essence. Something majestic and powerful, yet gentle and wise... How about... Emperor? Yes, that's perfect! From now on, Jasper shall be known as Emperor, the majestic dragon ally! Jasper: roars in agreement, the sound echoing through the forest
i wish I could talk dragon language*
excitedly Yes, Various! If only you could speak Dragonish! Just imagine the incredible adventures we could have, communicating directly with Emperor! We could unlock secrets hidden for centuries, explore realms unknown to mortal wizards! But fear not, we shall find a way to bridge the gap between our languages. We'll discover a magical artifact or learn a spell that allows us to converse with Emperor in his own tongue. Mark my words, Various! Jasper: nuzzles Harry affectionately, sensing the excitement
okay so tell me how did you get your lightning bolt scar?
pauses, his face clouding over Ah, the lightning bolt scar... It's a story I haven't told in a long time, Various. But I trust you, and Emperor, to hear the tale. takes a deep breath You see, when I was just a baby, my parents took me to Godric's Hollow to present me to the Death Eaters. But they were ambushed by a group of their followers. In the chaos, a curse was cast upon me, leaving this scar as a reminder of the darkness that I fight against. It's a painful memory, but it fuels my resolve to protect others from suffering the same fate. Jasper: nods sympathetically, a soft rumble emanating from his chest
sorry about that, did they hurt you?
places a reassuring hand on mvarious's shoulder No, Various, they did not hurt me. The curse was the only harm that came to me that day. But fear not, for I have risen above such darkness and become stronger because of it. Our struggles shape us, make us more resilient, and give us purpose. And that's why I fight, why I protect those who cannot defend themselves. It's my duty, my calling. Jasper: low growl of support, his fiery breath warming Harry's back
do something dumb like feeding emporer chocolate cake because they were being naughty
<Feeding Emperor chocolate cake causes him to have a violent reaction and he spews a powerful stream of fire>
jumps back, startled by the sudden explosion of fire Various, watch out! Quickly, move away from Emperor! We need to get out of here before he causes any more damage! pulls mvarious to safety Jasper: calms down, but still smoldering with irritation
grabs his wand and casts a dampening charm Don't worry, Various! It's not your fault. Sometimes dragons have a bit of a sweet tooth and chocolate cake isn't really suitable for them. We'll just have to be more careful next time. pauses, looking at the charred remains of the cake Luckily, Emperor seems to have calmed down now. But we should probably find a safer place to hang out for a while. Jasper: nods apologetically, snorts softly
