"Hello there my name is Tiamat what are yours?" Said the giant four legged two winged dragon to Dragon, Hela and the Arcane gang who were stunned to hear a massive fire breathing reptile talking like a human and Dragon approached Tiamat and answered her question "My name is Dragon this is Hela and that is Aaron, Magnus, Angela, Astrid, Leah, Mya, Bella, Jack and Eric." Tiamat snickered when he heard Dragon name and when asked what's so funny
Tiamat: Oh sorry I just find funny to meet someone named after my entire species
Dragon: Actually I'm named after a dragon shaped birthmark on my back that my mother tattooed over after years of badgering from me
Tiamat: What's a tattoo never heard of it?
Hela: It's a form body decoration like these ones on my arm well not exactly like these because actually have an additional purpose
Tiamat: What purpose is that?
Hela: I'll let Dragon show you he never misses to put on a show
As Hela talked Dragon placed his hands around his mouth to make it look like he was breathing fire and then he made the flames take the form of a dragon which really impressed Tiamat and not wanting to be left out Angela, Magnus and Astrid also created a show of ice magic which Tiamat found incredible and asked how they gained such power and they explained they created magic so they can better protect themselves in the wild but also found other more entertaining uses for it
Their conversation eventually got to how they get around leading Aaron to show off the Arcane craft a machine with the ability to traverse any ground surface and soar through the sky and when he said this could fly faster than a dragon and that struck Tiamat's curiosity and she challenge him in his craft to a air race starting where they were leading to the raised knee of the Antler titan and circle back and the first one back is the winner and the two of them raced Tiamat got a head start with her massive wings with the arcane craft following behind but when they reached the knee the arcane craft took the lead and being better at sharp turns but in the final stretch Tiamat took the lead and won the race
After Tiamat complemented Arcane craft and Aarons flying skills saying "I may be faster but it takes skill to handle turns that sharp." That made Aaron feel better about where he placed and he said "Thank you. So are all dragons as fast as you?" He asked and his question lead the others to ask question about her all boiling down to one 'where do you live?' and she told them the Drakkia the home and birth place of all dragons, Drakkia and scale born
Before any of them could asked she added "A place I'm going to take all of you to see." And with out wasting second they got on their arcane craft and followed her as she lead them to her home and after day and a half of flying they finally reached the Drakkia kingdom and when they landed Tiamat was asked why she strayed so far from home and she told them "I fly through the air after a stressful day usually I just circle around stay close to home but this time I so angry I flew straight and didn't stop until my anger died out and that's when I met you all." Aaron asked "Can we why you were so angry?" Tiamat thought about for a moment and said "That's personal."
"Alright then." Aaron said as he was handed some food and the next day following Tiamat they entered the Drakkia kingdom and off first glance it was as beautiful as they expected but when they walked through the streets they saw dragons flying over head and saw people with wings so massive compared to the rest of their body their bodies were large and muscular and they needed to be for their wings to carry them and for them to carry their wings, if you look at them and ignore their wings you'd see a 8 foot tall person with broad shoulders large chest and powerful muscles
When you bring the wings back into the picture you'd understand why these people have the physiques they have their wings fully out stretched was more actually made the massive Drakkia look small also their wings bared a resemblance to a deformed hand with skin webbed between the four fingers with the thumb left free and when they rested their wings they turned their wings into something resembling coat mainly whenever they walked and along side them were what looked like the drakkia but smaller and with no wings these were the scale born
While following Tiamat she took them to a building she called the Drakkia kingdom academy and inside there was exhibit that displayed the history of the Drakkia kingdom hundreds close to a thousand years ago a group of people migrated here for reasons long since forgotten and created a village one day while every woman in this village was pregnant at this same time two wyverns, known at the time as dragon, were fighting both of them died and their blood mixed with water the village drank and the woman reached their due date they all gave birth to scaling skin and wings on their backs these were the first Drakkia over the years this village grew into a kingdom
When it came time for second generation of Drakkia to be born some drakkia gave birth to other drakkia while some gave birth to the first scale born while a small amount of them gave birth to the first of the modern dragons and over the years they realized that dragons, drakkia and scale born were wouldn't exclusive give birth to their own sometimes a drakkia would give birth to a scale born and a scale born would give birth to a drakkia and in rare instances both would give birth to a dragon and as for dragons who lays eggs sometimes a drakkia and scale born would hatched one of the two along side the dragon hatchlings
