Flickr A venerable dragon, revered for centuries. Records of dragons stretch far back into the fogs of ancient history. Was there a lineage of proud drakes, or was there only the everlasting Frang Kaai, as he once claimed? So, the dragon MOC which I've had in various degrees of completion for over a month now is finished! And I think he turned out pretty well, and was an interesting build, as a more serpentine Asian-style dragon as opposed to my main previous dragon MOC, the Tyrannarahk, which is a Western-style dragon. In part the difference is because I currently think a proper dragon needs cloth/fabric wing membranes, unlike the Tyrannarahk (whose wings I've grown increasingly critical of), and I didn't have those on hand to use. They're also remarkably rare and expensive on BrickLink, especially the Black Pearl sails. Hence, a wingless serpent dragon! Speaking of pieces on hand, I also don't have much blue HF cladding at all, only really what Dragon Bolt had, so I had to make do in that regard as well. Lastly, if any of you are wondering about the name, it's partly a stealth reference, which his bio further hints at, so let's see if anyone can catch it. Comments are welcome! ~B~

Here is another story I wrote several years ago. I'll try to add more every day, but looking over what I have for this, I'll have to finish the ending, since I have yet to do so. All comments appreciated. Thank you! Drake Open with scenes of a countryside and then of a car driving down the road.Mother: Now I know that you've never met your grandfather because of his disapproval of your father, but he feels really bad that he never took the chance to get to know you. All he knows about you is what he has seen in those pictures of you I sent to him. He also told me that he missed those letters you wrote to him.Crimson: Mom, I was seven and dumb when I wrote those. Why did he choose now to meet me in person?Mother: Well, because he is getting old and he must want to make up for everything he didn't do in his life, such as spending quality time with his only granddaughter. You shouldn't worry. He is a really great person. He lives in a huge mansion, so I am sure you won't have trouble finding something to do.Crimson: I would rather hang out with my friends, since I have to go back to school in the fall.Mother: Oh, come on Crimson! I mean, it isn't gonna be the whole summer. It's not like it's the end of the world!Crimson: It is when you have to drive an hour and a half to the nearest mall.Mother: Please just give it a chance Crimson.Crimson: Fine!Mother: Thank you! Oh, look! We're here!Crimson looks out the car window as they pull up to the mansion with amazement spread across her face. They get out and a butler grabs her bags, while she grabs her bicycle. Her mom goes around the car.Mother: Alright dear! Now I am gonna leave you, but I promise to call you later.Her mom gets back into the car and rolls down the window.Crimson: What am I supposed to call him?Mother: Grandpa, of course! He'd love that. See you dear!She drives off and leaves Crimson.Crimson: That's easy for you to say. Hmmm!She walks through the gate up to the stairs with her bike, leaning it against the hedge, and then up to the doors. She goes in and looks up and around.Crimson: Wow! Where is everyone?She begins walking further into the room. She sees a small set of stairs lead to a window and a door. Her curiosity entices her to go up and into the room. She goes in, shuts the door, and notices the only glimpse of light comes from the sun through tiny cracks of a covered window. She begins to search for the light switch. She turns it on and sees the room is filled with coffins. She gets nervous and does not realize that there is one of the standing up coffins behind her. It opens and a man walks out, he sees Crimson, and raises his hands to her shoulder. He lays them on her and she turns and backs up between two coffins. They open and she runs next to the window. They leave their coffins and begin to walk towards her. She gets scared until she realizes that there is a window begins her. She rips everything down and they hurry back to their coffins. She then runs out. She runs down the stairs and trips. Guy on the second floor...Guy: Hey! Are you alright?She looks up at him, gets up, and runs for the door.Guy: Wait! Where are you going?He hurries down and chases after her. Once outside, she gets on her bike and goes to leave the property. He comes outside, sees her, and gets on his motorped, which is conveniently located near where hers was placed. He rides after her. When she heads out on the street, a car almost hits her and sends her into the grass on the other side of the street. He gets off his motorped and rushes to her.Guy: Are you alright?She looks up at him.Crimson: Uh! Yeah! I think so!Guy: Come on! I'll help you up.He helps her up and she becomes weak and falls into his arms.Guy: I guess not.You see him pick her up and then her waking up. It's night time. She sees a man sitting next to the fireplace. She gets up and begins walking towards him.Grandpa: So, you're finally awake?Crimson: Yeah! Do you know that there are people in one of your rooms here? They tried to attack me.Grandpa: Yes!Crimson: What? But they tried to kill me.Grandpa: Only because they didn’t know who you are.Crimson: Oh! So what if I didn’t get out of there and they did kill me, would you have cared? Would you have even called the police?Grandpa: No! I wouldn’t have done either.Crimson: How could you?She turns and begins to walk away.Voice: Because I told him too.
