Dragon myth vs fact according to the Sons of War #1

I asked my fan club to come up with some dragon myths that they’d like Markus (and his brothers) to tell us the truth behind them. I got a great response from them and ended up with about 12 myths. So I decided to post one a day. This should be fun.

Today I have Markus with me. Say hi, Markus.

Markus: Hi.

Lia: A man of few words this morning.

Markus: I’m concerned about these myths people come up with.

Lia: *nods* I can see that. Okay, here goes.

Do dragons’ eggs really need to be certain temps to make them either a male or female?

Markus: *his lips twitch* One, I’m a male and therefore don’t lay eggs.  Two, the Sons of War are shapeshifters. We have children like humans do.

Lia: What about the non-shapeshifters? You know those who where born dragons. They lay eggs.

Markus: Yes, they do. However, I’ve never had the chance to take one to lunch to interview it. But I doubt the sex of the hatchling has anything to do with the temperature of the egg. I believe the female can determine the sex.

Lia: Hmmm…I think I agree with you. Thanks for playing along. Tell Gwen I said hi.

Well, there you have it. I think Markus will be around today if you want to say hi or ask questions.
