shoot don't put yourself down Verdana! that rune is very very beautiful ^^

oddly it reminds me of an ancient dragon of the caverns + a Scotty dog o3o

A very interesting combination indeed ^^

[Jendalie]

Wow, amazing job Verdana! It's so beautiful and unique and your description is so detailed! I will be sure to notify Benathorn so that it will be placed on the front pages. Good luck on the judging and I hope you had fun designing a Rune Dragon.

Thank you!

I did; thank you so much for granting me the opportunity!

I tried to keep myself from entering for the Cave Rune, but I couldn't help myself. It's TOO COOL. X)

Okay, and this will sound soooo random, but as far as the RP goes....are you allowed to be spirit bound to two Runes? Because I was thinking ahead and since I plan on definitely adopting one Rune, and hopefully an ancient, and as such would want to be bonded to both XD Yeah...preemptive strikes are my thing lol.

I felt this part of your reply deserved a detailed response so here we go.
Bonding with an Ancient is not the same as bonding with a rune. Where as you bond with a rune, the two of you can feel each others emotions and thoughts, an Ancient imposes much more emotion given it's intelligent being.
With Ancients you create "Pacts" instead of bonds. There are two types of pacts, cursed pacts and blessed pacts.
Blessed Pacts are more often to occur with Ancients then cursed. When someone creates a blessed pact with their Ancient, the dragon does not require them to sacrifice any part of their being and instead melds and twins it's soul with it's summoner.
A cursed pact, though indeed powerful, requires the summoner to give up something of their being to the dragon in return for their pact. This often results in the human summoner losing their freedom in some way or form, as you can see in the Time story and Chaos story.
Ancients crave one thing in their lives and they are almost obsessive in requiring a summoner for themselves. Why this is has yet to be discovered but for an Ancient to be 'complete' they are always searching endlessly for the human who was meant to be theirs. I can always go into more detail if you wish and if you have any questions your more than welcomed to ask. The Ancients are still very mysterious creatures and I hope everyone looks forward to someday creating a pact with one, be it cursed or blessed.

Thanks so much Benathorn, that really clears things up ^-^
I'm so happy that you were able to give me such a concise answer.
So essentially a soul bond with a Rune is completely different from a Pact made with an ancient.
Its a brilliant set-up, I love it ^-^
Oooooh blessed or cursed....both would be fantastically interesting to roleplay out XD
Gosh, now I really want an Ancient

Thats good though, makes me quite happy. I wouldn't want to have to choose between Vorren and an Ancient, so I'm happy that I won't/wouldn't have to. Hahaha well, the Ancients are entitled to their secrets I suppose, they are Ancient

I'm now off to go read the Time and Chaos stories, brush up on my Rune dragon knowledge some more

So cute! How do I keep missing stuff like this? o__O
Love the scene too. They all look like one big happy family!

[Ashenjay]

How lovely! I missed that too! ><
And I had this crazy question:
What happens when an Ikran and a Toruk breed? BD
A praying mantis situation??

[Benathorn]

If you guys are wondering "What's taking Bena so long to finish my dang babies!?" it's because I have no muse!
Oh where or where did my muse go? I do not know if it is just me, but I just can't draw when I have no passion or interest for it...sad, I know.
I will eventually get it back within the week but for now I just tend to look at the screen with a blank stare as I force myself to make baby runes for everyone. X3
Well 3DS, looks like it's just you, me, and Pokemon Conquest for now.

@Ash~ Yeah sort of...I think the Toruk just gets a tasty snack though. XD
