Once upon a time, you having a cozy moment, observing the starry night sky.
Look!! A star is falling from night sky. Hurry!! Make a wish!
.
Look at that beautiful long tail. Its its a meteor? Or a comet?-- Maybe it is a fairy or an angel, that descending down on this world. Or maybe, it is a dragon.
(What??) Didn't you know? About a space dragons? Then, if you wish, let me tell you a tale about those majestic traveler, that soar between the stars, searching for they true family, that give them birth.
.
As you know, or maybe not, there is a final frontier on the edge of galaxy, created by collective gravity of all stars inside it. Its like a hypothetical surface of an astral ocean, in which everything live, with its own currents and flows. Yet, the edge is like a sea surface with its waves and great streams.
Just like the microscopic plankton present on many ocean worlds, you can notice that something is floating there. Or, you can just imagine a fruits floating on river surface, being taken by water flow, all they way until they stuck onto something. In similar numerical amount like plankton in ocean, you can found a sea full of metallic golden rocks, only visible when you know how to look. But don't get tricked!: Every single one of them is something like a dragon egg.
Do not bother to try crack open one, those are durable enough to resist anything. Stubborn to point, that they can withstand the almighty turbulence when galaxy experience its dusk and dawn, at birth and death.
A saying is: That if you make a strong wish that make a dream to come true, or do an epic heroic deed, the echo of it will travel through the astral routes from our wold all the way to surface of the galaxy ocean. Like a letter send to a friend it will found its destined mail box and after reading it, a single dragon will hatch, because of you.
From the moment it awake, from its sleep in that wast ocean, they spread they golden metallic wings. This fresh hatching, tempted by the letter, is letting behind its still sleeping siblings. As it dove into deeps of galaxy, like a swimmer downing into sea to admire a coral reef full of life, hidden under the water line.
.
Like a shining star of mostly gold color they effortlessly travel from star to star, like a Traveler visiting tourist spots, dragging behind them a beautiful tail, a trail made of sparkles. Many of them got mistaken for comets on irregular route. Wandering from wonder to miracle, curiously looking around. Like a person on a trip to get know the world, they observing local events and custom in any direction or distance. Like a reader who pick up a book from a local book store shelf, to read it on one siting, just to move onto another shelf, another store, to pick an another one.
Yet, those handsome seekers of art, are searching for something special to them. Its says, that in romanticized way, the event that brought them to life is long gone, so they looking for a similar event that still ongoing somewhere. Or they will be lucky to just be in the right time on the right spot. They seek a story, that will bewitched them to the point, they will want to become a part of it. So when they will finally found a love of they life, they will literally descent onto it. Like a shooting star.
Like a fan, who will put a cosplay dress on them to role-play as a character from it favorite story; even dragon will show its life worthy passion for role-play of highest caliber. They will not just dive into the story, they become a part of it. Not just a reader, but as a story character. In order to pull this gig out, they evolve, onto they true form. They body, mind and essence, will meta-transform to become an integrated part, as if they were there from beginning. It don't matter what rules apply in this place, it don't matter if its open space, planet or any kind of plane of existence, they adapt to it; perfectly.
This transformation, is like that diver who jumping into ocean from a ship on surface, letting that vessel behind. For them, they former majestic form of metallic gold rock body, fulfilled its function of a star-liner ship, to take them into they desired destination. Shape, size, power, divinity… limitless lifespan for limited one... they will throw away all of it, just for the opportunity to be an active part of local ongoing story.
They reach, they true state, founding they new family. No one really know, what form they take on. Where they hide, or if they pass around us daily? A dragon can be even your house cat or something straightforward silly, that love cuddling enjoying every moment it have.
.
Legends even says, that when they story reach its final page, they will make a true honest wish and drop they egg into an astral river. This future descendant will be taken by the flow to edge of galaxy. There this egg will stubbornly wait among its siblings, for they own wish send by a letter, that will awake them from sleep. So they can went on a journey to search for they own story. They own dream to live. The mailed wish to respond.
That's why, we make those wishes, when we see a falling star. We welcoming a traveler into our story, as if it was a dragon, carrying someone wish or a destiny. In the end, we becoming a fairy parents, sending our dream to out there, to reach other. A silly game of sending a random mails. A dragons are wishes, send to ship.
So… How it will look? I mean; your wish: What kind of dragon, it will be? What your own wish will make?
