![]() ![]() ![]() Do you know what would be a major Plot twist hurry Ends up Kissing a ferir |
![]() ![]() Yeeeah, she always did have issues with getting her priorities straight. |
![]() ![]() Crossbows use bolts due to their compatibility with the weapon's design and the need for shorter, sturdier projectiles to maintain accuracy and safety...not arrows. Arrows are for bows. |
![]() ![]() *laughter toward those who don't understand...can be heard* Man? Ignore him, to the wolf? Dominate it, wolves are essentially the forbear of most breeds of modern dogs. That means they are wild dogs. Forcing a were's wolf into submission makes you the Alpha. The inner wolf will make the outer man your servant. Personally, I believe I'd prefer to have him hauling firewood, in a Klondike-esque dog harness pulling a sled. |
![]() ![]() Here is more dragonic information: Dragons are so popular in various cultures around the world that it’s tricky to know where they originated first. There are several contenders for the title of ‘Oldest Dragon in the World’ – so let’s take a look at this famous magical beast and when the legends surrounding it may have originated. China – 4500 – 3000 BCE China has one of the longest histories of any culture, so it’s no surprise that some of the earliest depictions of dragons have been found here. Dragons are lucky creatures in Chinese culture, often bringing power and wealth. Excavation sites in Inner Mongolia have revealed examples of carved jade dragons dating back to 4500-3000 BCE – long before any written records of the creatures existed. Sumer – 3000 – 2001 BCE Sumerian mythology has numerous stories and legends, among which is the story of Kur, a dragon that lived in the primal sea. He’s a personification of the Sumerian underworld, and according to one legend, kidnaps the goddess Ereshkigal and carries her off to the nether world. The god Enki goes to rescue her in a boat, but Kur fights back ferociously, hurling stones at the boat and attacking Enki with the primeval waters in which he lived. The end of the story is lost, but it’s generally assumed that Kur was killed. It’s thought by some scholars that this myth is a precursor to several other myths from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures, such as the ‘Epic of Creation’. raq – pre-1200 BCE Present-day Iraq was once part of the Babylonian empire, where tablets containing the ‘Epic of Creation’ myth were inscribed. Those that have survived date to 1200 BCE, but scholars think they’re copies of much older texts, from at least 1750 BCE. *In the myth, the goddess Tiamat is a personification of salt water and takes the form of a dragon. She gives birth to the first gods and is eventually destroyed by the god Marduk, who splits her in two, thereby creating the heaven and the earth.* India – 1500 BCE The Rig Veda is an Indian text which is one of the oldest in the world, and dates to around 1500 BCE. The text speaks of a great dragon named Vritra, who personified the droughts that ‘imprisoned’ rivers and other bodies of water. He was killed by Indra, the god of thunderstorms and rain, to free the flowing rivers. Of course, stories were passed down by word-of-mouth long before they were recorded in writing, so this myth may be thousands of years older than the text in which it appears. Dragons like those we see in Western culture are evolutions of these early beasts, and you can learn more about the mighty dragon from European legends in the magical play ‘Dragons and Mythical Beasts’. This fantastic show for kids in Edinburgh introduces you not only to a fearsome dragon, but also to lesser-known creatures, from the Japanese Baku to the mysterious Indrik from Russian folklore. |
![]() ![]() FYI: I looked this up, hoping it will assist in future Addams/HP ficcies. In the myth, the goddess Tiamat is a personification of salt water and takes the form of a dragon. She gives birth to the first gods and is eventually destroyed by the god Marduk, who splits her in two, thereby creating the heaven and the earth. |
![]() ![]() Umbridge, cadet branch of Addams...yeah, I can see that. Canon Delores (especially with a name like that!) The meaning of the name Delores is...sorrow. The Spanish word dolores is the plural form of dolor, meaning either sorrow or pain, which derives from the Latin dolor, which has the same meaning and which may ultimately stem from Proto-Indo-European *delh-, "to chop". |
![]() ![]() Ouch, owie. Yikes. It is called a watershed, shed, not bed. A waterbed is furniture. A watershed is... Time for a bit of an education, dearie. What is a watershed? It’s a land area that channels rainfall and snowmelt to creeks, streams, and rivers, and eventually to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays, and the ocean. The size of a watershed (also called a drainage basin or catchment) is defined on several scales—referred to as its Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC)—based on the geography that is most relevant to its specific area. A watershed can be small, such as a modest inland lake or a single county. Conversely, some watersheds encompass thousands of square miles and may contain streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and underlying groundwater that are hundreds of miles inland. The largest watershed in the United States is the Mississippi River Watershed, which drains 1.15 million square miles (2,981,076 square kilometers) from all or parts of 31 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces stretching from the Rockies to the Appalachians! Water from hundreds, and often thousands, of creeks and streams flow from higher ground to rivers that eventually wind up in a larger waterbody. As the water flows, it often picks up pollutants, which may have sinister effects on the ecology of the watershed and, ultimately, on the reservoir, bay, or ocean where it ends up. Not all water flows directly to the sea, however. When rain falls on dry ground, it can soak into, or infiltrate, the ground. This groundwater remains in the soil, where it will eventually seep into the nearest stream. Some water infiltrates much deeper, into underground reservoirs called aquifers. In other areas, where the soil contains a lot of hard clay, very little water may infiltrate. Instead, it quickly runs off to lower ground. Rain and snowmelt from watersheds travel via many routes to the sea. During periods of heavy rain and snowfall, water may run onto and off of impervious surfaces such as parking lots, roads, buildings, and other structures because it has nowhere else to go. These surfaces act as "fast lanes" that transport the water directly into storm drains. The excess water volume can quickly overwhelm streams and rivers, causing them to overflow and possibly result in floods. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Good read thank you Cant wait to read more of these stories |
![]() ![]() ![]() You didn’t inadvertently slight anyone with Blaise. Whiny losers with nothing better to do will bleat about anything and say it offends them |
![]() ![]() ![]() What an interesting piece! I quite liked how long and detailed this one was. It still had the glorious feel of the others in the series but there was much more of it. The ending was also quite a surprise. I do look forward to seeing what the next installment holds. This one really went more in depth about the blood magic and olde ways. Though it was truly a pity we didn't learn more about the gifts Harveste has and his low call. Though I would guess he had already done his rite and his abilities are part of that. Considering how he also swears occasionally to Loki that would also have been a rather large hint. At any rate this was a lovely piece and I'm almost sad it's over, especially since it ended on a cliffhanger. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Nevermind I was thinking of a other story |
![]() ![]() ![]() I thought Hermione was in Slytherin |
