This page will be for the deprecated dragons I'm removing where I feel it necessary, swapping out for more recent or more appropriate dragons and pets.

Specifically these are Mindspace dragons, mainly the depressing and injured types. I honestly have never been okay with some of the weird bloody messy things they produced, and while the dragons and such are well made, they make me personally uncomfortable for whatever reason. I am not inclined to completely delete these, so here they will remain with their original info and location.

List:
Hades Beast Saksama
Thestral, Deadpet imperial, Snow Thestral
Acheron beast Gondolini
Haruja and Basan (holiday exchange?) Basan might wind up somewhere because black and white though.

But that didn't explain everything... He was still lonely and with the dragons he knew why. All this time he'd never had so much as a frog as a pet, let alone a familiar to aid him in spells. So all this time, from late summer into early winter, he had cast a spell looking. Searching, anywhere. What would be the best match for him, to aid him in his work?

It was night before he knew it, and in Winter here he really shouldn't be out like that. Out on the roof, when it was starting to snow... But it was still very pretty out here. For once he concentrated on something other than himself, and suddenly saw what looked like fireflies dancing in a weird pattern nearby. He jumped from the roof, and didn't notice that his floating glowing runes had now vanished.

Flashes of something bright distracted him, he picked up a shattered bit of glass, and on impulse looked into it. He saw... himself, only - there were walls, fences, barbed wire, laser grids, every possible impediment in the way. His heart started to thump, then sank. He knew perfectly well what that meant. He knew himself.

But there was still a brightness, a dancing light before him. Maybe there were Willowisps here, who would seduce him and drown him out in the woods. But it was winter, and they weren't known to come out until late spring. So... What was this creature coming toward him?

His wings were limply splayed to his sides but occasionally they blew up as though in a wind. A close pattern of them coalesced into a face with many eyes.

"I'm right here," Desmond said, "it's okay." The creature's ears perked up and it was clear that they were sewn shut and would remain so, they were scarred that way. Several of its eyes blinked, and it picked up the pace. And fell into a plume of snow several feet away. Desmond stifled a chuckle, and went to help it up.

"I know you, I think we had a dream together once. Saksama, that was your name. Is it?"

Saksama nodded once, bright glow-balls swaying as though they were lighter than air. Desmond noticed that the farther he was from the creature, the lower the lights bobbed. He resolved to remain near.

2025: since Desmond is a much more confident and sure man these days in the Pacific Northwest after Domina's move across dimensions and the planet... And this creature, while it did occupy his time and emotions for a period, does not seem to be any 'better' than it was when it arrived. Never told him who had injured it, or whether it was born this way, deafened and blinded. Pity only goes so far. And while Desmond did learn compassion from or perhaps for it, ... maybe it's time to move on from the pain, small creature.
Name: Saksama
Breed: hades river beast, Mindspace
Gender: male
Size: around 3'3" at shoulder
Abilities: fortelling, forgetfulness, truth telling, lie detection, detect presence;
Disabilities: blind in most eyes, can see Desmond and his kin, deaf to all but Desmond's voice, occasionally extremely clumsy.

Unnamed Thestrals and 'Deadpet' with no name or information, originally found on zora_domina / dom-uma Uma's page

Snow Thestral!

Uma's not sure when this guy arrived, but he is certainly fit for winter. His skin, while still taut and hard around his ribs and shoulders, shows a glistening kind of snowy-icy-white. His lovely wing sails are a bright contrast to everything else. Especially other Thestrals.

But he wasn't going to let himself get trapped into that line of thought just now. Right now, there were a parade of dragons and their riders, getting ready for a dragon-sport match. Gray loved those things, Ben wasn't all that much into sports. But it was dragons, and they were always fun to watch, especially since they were offworld things, not given to roasting every human they saw!

When he got back down to their quarters there was something ... something waiting for him.

That thing turned out to be a very patient, mottled colored beast from another world. Perhaps he'd scooted in while everyone was playing broomball , there were lots of open portals around. And Ben thought he had seen that kind of weird floaty-glass stuff somewhere around here before.

"I am Gondolni," said the creature in a strange, glass-on-stone voice. "I wish to remain with you, travel with you, if I may? I have heard that you are a philosopher - I am a bit of one myself."

Ben's eyebrow shot up, but he remained silent while nodding. After a moment he said, "yes, of course, I just hope you don't mind the kids..."

"I have never had offspring," Gondolni said, tilting his head and allowing his long ear to touch the ground.

Just then was when Kate and Gray came bolting in, cheering and giggling with the kids, Ben's wife looked at the unusual hades-beast and appraised him with a nod. "Nice, you've found one of those too - Desmond has one similar... not so similar," she looked around. "This one's got no wings."

They settled back down, Lydia and Maddie were entranced by the glowing colors, and Gondolni looked wistfully at them, perhaps he would find a way to procreate, some day...

( I do still like the black and green for him but really it is rather emo; also the lack of easily available information makes it hard to justify keeping for breeding)

Though they claimed often enough that they were 'whorlings', Kalinda knew perfectly well they were dragons. And they weren't the flying kind, they were special.

They had four eyes, they were gifted with speech and magic.

Haruja was a dark brown color, she was very pretty and very attentive. Her companion Basan was a little less focused but no less handsome. At least, to Kalinda they were gorgeous. To some other people, having those extra eyes seemed to unnerve them. That was okay, it gave Kalinda time to formulate a good jinx or charm to get people out of her hair while they were busy dealing with Haru and Bas.

Haruja

Female, Whorling-based dragonet; around 4'6" at shoulder; Illusion magic, Animate Objects, speech; Outgoing, pleasant, eager to see things.

Basan

Male, Whorling-based dragonet (Winter Gather 2007); 5'2" at shoulder; verbal speech, Ice magic/Manipulation, See Through Illusions; Defensive, protective, a bit jealous, highly distractable. Sneprin and Barakuja don't appear to be online any more, but when they have pages again, they will be linked as the parents! :D (these are not whorlings.)
