The First Dragon

Most think that Kalos was The First Dragon placed on Mernac, but according to the learned scholars from The Great Library of Hob, this is not the case.   From their studies of the The Half-Pages from The One Book, it has been discovered that actually his sister, Kellium, was The First Dragon. The same “Kellium” who the mystical ink that always reveals the truth, is named for.   But that was eons and eons, before the birth of the Race of Man, so it is quite understandable if the facts are sometimes muddled. In those early days, before the recording of words, or the practice of writing was even conceived, Siberlee the Mother of Nature, became bored with all the creatures on Mernac.   It was not that she did not adore her creatures and beasts. It is well known that The Mother of Nature dearly loves all the creatures she and other Gods created. It was... It was because none of them had the gift of speech.   At the time, Siberlee had been on Mernac for some 5,000, perhaps 10,000 Seasons. Though she loved her 19 brothers and sisters dearly and spoke with them regularly - what could be said had already been said 1000 times. What could be discussed had already been discussed time and time again.   Simply put, Siberlee wanted someone, or maybe something, new to speak with. So she asked her sister Sola, the Mother of Light and Life, to create a creature or beast who could talk.   The two worked together for what may have been a Moon, or it may have been 1000 Moons, as time had little meaning to Gods Gods in those times. They used all the life-giving magic Sola had been born with. They tried to enhance this with Siberlee’s considerable powers.   On fish and frog they tried. On eagle, bear, and even snake they experimented. From the smallest of ant to the largest of mammoth, the two Goddesses worked their magic and powers.   They had no success.   One Chandralee, that rare time when not one, but both of Mernac’s moons are full on the same night, the answer finally came.   That particular night was magic itself. Not only were both the moons full, but the evening was cloudless and ten million dots, the stars of other worlds, could be clearly seen against the inky sky.   Some of these shiny speckles even shot through the air in cascading patterns and with great regularity. All scholars agree it was a night like no other. Or at least, none since the first Chandralees during Creation when The One and The Other gifted Siberlee with all the Gods and Goddesses to help her build Mernac.
