Silver Scales Interview

The Strange & Unusual Universe of Silver Moon Unicorn

(Transcription of the interview begins now, in clear tones. Yes, the dragon can speak the same language as the elvish human.)

Silver Scales (SS): I’m so happy you’re interviewing me! You are after all, a famous bard.

Silver Moon Unicorn (SMU): I’m delighted to be interviewing you, a famous dragon.

SS: I would like to say how much I enjoyed learning about who else shares this planet with me. Some of the other dragons don’t understand my curiosity.

SMU: That’s the main reason I want to interview you. You have the open-mindedness of a rather interesting person. You’ve also know some famous Guardians as well.

SS: Yes, I have. I do miss my friends who have gone on. To where, I’m not sure. I guess that’s the price of a dragon to live longer than others.

SMU: Rumor has it that they come back in different bodies and some people recognize them by their eyes.

SS: That’s interesting! I almost thought I came across Renae again, but she’s been gone a long time. It was actually her great granddaughter, Claire Rose.

SMU: Yes, they do resemble one another in the facial features.

SS: Who has come back in different bodies?

SMU: Renae, Jaedin, and Claude are the only ones that I know of.

SS: Really? Who are they now?

SMU: Claude became Prince Jaems, His Excellency’s heir. Renae became Felicia and Jaedin became Sam Oranglov.

SS: Jaems died a while back, didn’t he?

SMU: Yes, he did. I believe it was during the vampire attack in which his granddaughter, Claire Rose, went missing. Her nanny smuggled her to a convent where she grew up.

SS: I did hear about that. Many thought the whole royal family disappeared that night. (She paused a moment.) Aren’t Felicia and Sam a couple now?

SMU: Yes, I do believe they are. I will be interviewing Sam soon.

SS: I bet that will be an interesting interview.

SMU: This one is certainly turning out to be interesting already. Have we even begun it?

SS: Oh, have we? What are your questions for me?

SMU: How old are you?

SS: Let’s see, I was quite young when I met Renae. I had just laid my first eggs. I guess you could say I was relativity a little older than she was at the time. I was close to a hundred then…so now I must be, oh, say about three hundred, give or take a century.

SMU: I doubt I’ll live that long. How many children have you had so far?

SS: Oh, I don’t know exactly. I guess about 200. I do recognize each one when I see them. I am a grandmother, too! I may even be a great grandmother…

SMU: I don’t know if I will ever be a grandmother, let alone a great grandmother. Do all your children have the same father?

SS: No, they don’t. The first one died before the children were born. He got into a bad fight and lost. Come to think of it, they seem to all have a tendency to die pretty young. I’m not sure where the last one is now. I haven’t heard that he did the same foolish things the others did. I guess I sure know how to pick them.

SMU: Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not worth it. I think you’ve done pretty well on your own.

SS: Thank you. Your opinion means a lot to me.

SMU: You’re welcome. How long has the Dragon Council been in existence?

SS: I don’t know. I do know it existed before I was born. I’ve heard rumors the Guardians may have helped the dragons to set up the council in the first place. I’ve heard complaints about dragon slayers going after any dragon, regardless if they are peaceful or dangerous.

SMU: That sounds like a good reason to set up the council and to form an alliance with the Guardians as well.

SS: Yes, both do help out. The Guardians learned to tell the differences between individual dragons and they can give and receive information from the dragons. Sometimes, we learn where the best places to build our homes are.

SMU: That’s some useful information. Where do you prefer to live?

SS: Up in the mountains, where most everyone else won’t go. I know Claire Rose doesn’t like it because it can be quite cold up there.

SMU: I can’t say I blame her. I don’t like cold either. How long have you been a part of the council?

SS: For the better part of the past 200 years. I was recruited when they found out about my curiosity about other living beings and how I deal with them. I am an official Dragon Ambassador.

SMU: That’s quite an honor.

SS: I am quite honored that they thought of me.

SMU: One more question…what are you plans for your future?

SS: I will continue my work on the Dragon Council as an Ambassador and I will work with the Guardians. I’ll probably go find out if Felicia was really my friend Renae.

SMU: That sounds good. I wish you the best of luck.

SS: I wish you the best of luck with your research and writing.

SMU: Thank you.

SS: You’re welcome.
