;D i had nothing better to do to rewrite the story now out of the view of Vilina xD. I just tried to discribe everything bit more fluent and smooth. Just for fun, hope you enjoy it.
Tinder II.Vilina:”It was in the Year of the Dragon 2157. Spyro the Lightforger just became the father of new born welps and my beloved mate Euralien too. He now had 367 welps with me and his other 11 dragonesses. His favourite son Urthamiel is now 25 years old. And then one day, this story happened:
My Euralien took one of the other childs, the 5 years old son Bem’Jamin, to the sea, with the intention to teach him how to swim. After the finished training both took a rest on the top of a large sandhill. Just few minutes later, an unknown dragoness suddenly appeared at it’s bottom and slowly came to them. She was young and a real beauty with her purple scales, that glimmered in the sunlight. They reminded Euralien immediately of the great hero Spyro. For a moment she stood close to my mate, watched him curious until he broke the silence with a friendly greeting.
She introduced herself as Santora, one of Spyros’s Firstborns and explained that she was looking for a dragon, who could become her friend. My mate just asked her, if she wants to accompany them back to our home Bujan. This was also the place, where I met her for the first time. It surely was an honor for all of us to meet a daughter of Spyro himself, unbelievable! But the situation should change very fast…
While all the others tendered the young girl, I took care for the exhausted Ben’Jamin, who told me a weird story as we arrived at his room. He said, that Santora tried to seduce Euralien, but he neglected her. Well honestly… it was not the first time that a dragoness was overwhelmed by his good look… but such a young girl… no, that couldn’t be the truth! I had to talk with her by myself. In the afternoon I went to her chambers and had a long talk with her about my mate and her intentions, afterwards I came to my love to tell him all. He promised me, that he would have a talk with her the next day too and I was satisfied. We had a passionate night together but somehow I couldn’t concentrate, Santoras words were burned into my mind.
As the morning sun rise Euralien held word and visited Santora again. She still had the wish to become one of his mates, but he neglected her again, with the reason that he is too old for her. A younger partner, that makes her happy, is better for her and her future. Suddenly she had another idea and wanted her parents blessing to receiving a child from my mate, but they had the same opinion than we. After this, I was so sure, that this case was cleared… how wrong I was!
Few months later I was just on my way to the garden to search for my mate, as I suddenly heard him screaming. I was worried and ran to him as fast as I could. Finally I found him sitting behind a large bush, his face covered by his hands, still shaking in wrath. I sat next to him, hugged my arm around his shoulders and asked what had happened. In a bitter voice he told me the bad news: Santora had given birth to a child and that he was the father!
I held my breath for a few seconds, suddenly felt a deep anger inside of me too. I had my difficulties not to yell at him since I thought he made his point clear. It seems, that she was able to seduce him in the end! That wicked girl! But then he told me, that it was not his fault, since he was tricked by her: Some days after she had left our home, she returned and invited Euralien for a walk at the beach. There both drank a glass of vine together and he suddenly he became very tired, when he awoke Santora was gone. It seems, that she mated with him while he was asleep and left afterwards.
I wanted to know, why they are so sure that it’s from him and he explained to me, that Santoras sister immediately recognized some similarities of him. She suggested a secret meeting here in Bujan and we accepted.
Two days later Santora arrived here again and Euralien confronted her with her foolish behavior. Not only that she used him against his will, she also brought herself into great troubles if her parents find out about it. They will ban her from their clan, but Bujan won’t become her shelter then. With tears in her eyes she explained that she did all that, because she’d fallen in love with him and wanted a child from such an heroic dragon. My mate closed his eyes and calmed down, since this happened to him before. The dragoness Kora once did it too, so he couldn’t blame Santora for it. But she still needed to be punished for her actions.
Days later he visited her parents, Spyro and Cynder and convinced them, that their daughter should finally move out to life her own life. The only thing he kept secret was her little son, Santoriel. All were relieved as both dragons agreed. And even if Euralien already told the purple dragoness ,that she will not be allowed to live in Bujan, he wanted to care for her and his child. So he bought her a part in the Kingdom of Brodering and built a home for them there.
We still visit them from time to time. In the following years her son grew into a healthy young dragon and our sweet Urthamiel vowed, that he would take good care of him to make sure that he will become a strong dragon one day, just like his father and Spyro are.
Well, that was a story… you see, our life is never boring here. So I am curious what will happen next time.”

The story is nice but I don't think that you realy had to revel so much of the details.Sometime it is better to let viewer imagen what lies beneath the surface of the written words.

Reveales so many details? What exactly do you mean? I tried to tell only that, what's necessary to understand it for readers. I could have written more, alot more.
Your text is really only understandable, when ppl know your characters well. I mean, it already begins at the start. Imagine, i would be completely new to your gallery, i would had a couple of questions in my mind after reading. (I know most of the answers of course, but many others might not understand what happened there)
- Who is this Vilina? And who is she talking to?
- Why does she accept, that her mate has so many other partners? Did they really had nearly 400 childs in one year and why does they need that many? (we live in a pretty monogamous world after all)
- Who are all the other names you mention here, and why do you do so, if it's not relevant for the main story?
- Why does a five years old child know about seduction?
- Do the characters do something else than mating all the time? You get the feeling that the girls are only living broodmachines.
- How does the storyteller (Vilina) react at the end of the story, why did she tell it anyway?
...
You see, for somebody new it might be quiet complicated to follow it and they might get a wrong picture of your OCs. Besides it's quiet interesting to see, that you always display emotions very good in your pictures, but in this writing the characters hardly show them, and when they do, the reader sometimes don't understand why they react like that, since it's not discribed.
At least that's what i thought, of course you do not have to agree with me .

Well you didn't had to describe of how Vilina felt when she found out that Euralien fathered Santora's child,it sounded like she is Euralien's only mate that he has.
-Euralien didn't got 367 welps in one year but in 25 years,for Euralien mate with dragoness rarely.
-5 year child couldn't know how to describe the word seduction,I just wrote that as how did Vilina understood the stinting discribetions from her young stepson.
-And Dragons are,in my thought,poligamysts,they prefer that one male dragon or one female have more then one mate,just like their very first patriarch Falkor did when he leid with first seven females in the past.The reason for this is because of the great natality of female population in Dragon realms.So because of the small male population,dragoness's are forced to lay with one single mate in hope to increase the popularity of males,but ironcly it just enlarges more the female population.
I kept this information for the comic but considering that viewers,inclueding you,are maybe wondering why one male has so many females,I just had to reluctantly give up this secret.

Ah so that's all about and i thought, that you don't like that i mentioned that the mated after he drank the wine. Well i don't think so, i thought she is angry, since her mate already told Santora that he is too old for her, but the girl didn't listen in the end. I know that she doesn't care if he has lots of sex with other females, strange enough but hey, that's how she is, and if you want her that way it's fine. I just thought you discribed the whole seqence a bit too discriptive, as i already mentioned. Such a tense moment and it sounds like she just comes there sees him angry and just ask him what happend, without any feelings.
- Oh allright^^ but you didn't mentioned that there. It's like you put informations in there, that the reader can't know. It would be the same if i would ask you btw... How many kids does Synastra have? or How old is Relan?, Things i never mentioned so far.
By the way how do they feed all those kids and how many eggs does a dragoness give birth to in one year? He mates rarely with them?! It seems in this discription, that he does nothing else.
- Ok so that was it all about, i was just a bit confused.
- I know, you mentioned that before, that they are all polygamous. I meant in our real world it is the normal case that a person has only one partner at time. I also wouldn't want to have a man who has more girls beside me. But fantasy creatures are fantasy so they can be whatever the creator wants them to be.
Ah so a lack of guys then? Well too bad xD How do they avoid incest?
Sorry for annoying you with my questions it just seems that everytime you answer me, i get more curious and it leads to new questions since this is all so completely new to me.

Yes be lucky xD normally i never write that much. I just was in mood for a bit of writing, you see, i'm a little writing amateur and write for myself from time to time, mainly stuff about my own OCs.
But i'm glad that you like it, at first i was not sure, if i caught her personality right, so i tried to keep her opinion about the actions quiet neutral, since that's how i saw her from your discriptions.
