DRAGONIA: Tales Of The Golden Talon
Book I / A Portal In The Storm
A large and formidable foe, Rak’s ancient ancestors came from a prehistoric Earth, where they ventured through the portal and eventually settled in Dragonia. The forebears of the mute dragodactyl supposedly exchanged their voices for the ability to breathe fire; a bargain that was struck with the Lords of the volcanic summit known as Mamag.
Because of an Earthly plague inadvertently brought to Dragonia many seasons prior, the last of all the dragodactyl’s kind have perished long ago; Rak is the sole survivor of his foreign breed. For reasons known only to himself, he has joined forces with Dragragon and rules as the tyrant’s second-in-command. |
Hungry for power, the arrogant, mischievous draguirrel is a willing minion of Dragragon, and spies on the Trueblood’s behalf. Hot on the trail of Boja and Shelldon, Urrol mistakenly believes that, once the new queen is destroyed, he will enjoy promotions and rewards beyond his greatest, misguided dreams.
The draguirrel is in for a rude awakening. |
A nervous eater, Ellie has never been the same since the Trueblood tyrant came to power. Out for a midnight snack among the vast grasslands of Dragonia’s savanna region, the draglephant (with a heart as big as her appetite) is surprised to see the two unusual travelers discovered by her dragiraffe chum, Geri.
Little does Ellie know, she and a couple of her friends will one day confront Dragragon, face to trunk. |
Though Kindu swims in a river that meanders throughout the great expanse of grasslands, the dragippo prefers to quench his thirst at the local watering hole. Somewhat of a snoop, he likes to laze in the mud and, with only his ears, eyes, and nostrils above the water, watch others go about their business.
|
One of the few permanent residents of the Valley of Gloom, the crusty dragulture lives by himself, scrounging for whatever tidbits others would readily shun.
When Boja and Shelldon meet up with Rhed, the ’guzzard escorts them to Twin Timbers, the scary gateway that leads to the even scarier dragraveyard, Darcklan. |
Whenever he meets someone, even those who already know him, Booker always makes sure they understand how he is a dragorm and not a dragaterpillar. More than once, the ground dweller has grown annoyed having to explain the difference to some ill-informed passerby, who mistakenly assumed Booker would eventually become some syrup-sucking butter’gly. Or even worse, a shaggy dragoth.
|
Through a clairvoyant connection with the Mistress of Rest and Peace, Darcklan’s spectral governess, Po’s job is to alert the powerful draghost to the presence of invaders and trespassers. Or more often than not, to welcome guests who have come to deposit the bones of their deceased loved ones.
With the help of the peculiar sentry, Boja and Shelldon meet the fearsome Mistress, who is unaware (at first) of the Dragle’s real identity. The fateful introduction is made not a moment too soon. |
Known also as the Overseer Of The Unforgotten, Lucent, the true name of the Mistress, governs Dragonia’s sacred cemetery, Darcklan. Only she knows the way out of the boneyard and enforces strict conditions as to who may leave, once they have entered the hallowed domain.
In violation of the rules, Boja and Shelldon face certain peril until, at the last instant, the wrathful draghost recognizes the princess for who she actually is. With the guidance and help of the governess, the two intruders escape from Darcklan -- and from Dragragon’s sudden arrival on the scene. |

Due to the unsafe conditions aboveground, Racnabeth and others have fled to subterranean caves for shelter.
While Bela is directing Boja and Shelldon back to the surface, the dragat clumsily flies into (and damages) the dragider’s intricately spun web. Angry with all three at first, the motherly Racnabeth lectures them about the need for good manners. Impressed by Shelldon’s humility, the dragider soon grows fond of her visitors (except for Bela) and warns of the certain doom they face, outside the caves. |
One of the smallest flyers found anywhere in the dragontinent of Dragonia, Nadeli gets stuck, from time to time, inside Racnabeth’s web. On one such occasion, the dragnat spots Boja who, along with Shelldon, has paused beside the dragider’s sticky, outstretched net.
The shy Nadeli introduces herself to the Dragle, then hurries into the depths of a nearby tunnel to rejoin her family. |
Among the most miniscule of Dragonia’s inhabitants, Yuba lives in a microscopic world largely unseen and unsuspected by most others. Next to the dragmoeba, Nadeli, the dragnat, appears as big as a Trueblood does to her.
Comfortable with his diminutive size, Yuba understands how even he is larger than some others. Or actually, larger than many others. |
Attylis holds the distinction of being one of the realm’s tiniest residents. Compared to the dragerm, Wingston is the size of Mamag itself. Attylis also possesses more friends than other Dragonians. A lot more.
The dragerm never worries about finding food. As often as not, it finds him. |
