Some kind of dragon au

[occulthymns]

[Before you lies a picturesque kingdom of forests and fields and farmlands. Mountains rise up in the distance, and set at the edge of a massive lake is an elegant castle with tall spires. It looks out over the land - forests surrounding the lake, a small but pleasant medieval town pushed up against the castle walls, farmer's fields further out.

The land itself is fertile and full of wild game, unsual plants, and natural wonders like crystalline caverns and waterfalls. Rivers of all sizes wind their way down from the mountains, which alternate between covered in fir trees and bare, jagged rock with mazes of caves hidden within.

Dragon AU go!]

[ What don't you like dragon barf... ]

The bones...? [ Ven tilts his head and gets up to toddle a bit closer, wings tucked in at his sides. Will fish really come up for the bones?? ]

[Not all over his tail, thank you very much.]

The scent. [And yes, he occasionally refreshes it from time to time. The sand itself also helps, absorbing some of the remains' liquid. Basically, just dragging his tail across the area leaves it coated in that scent. And don't even try to point out that 'scent doesn't work underwater' thing. It does for fish.]

Watch. [And heads over to the water. With a light motion, he settles his tail in the water, crouches easily by the side of the water... and just waits.]

[ Be glad he doesn't know much about searching for scent with water, or he would've brought that up. So instead he winds up crooning curiously and looking back and forth between Riku and the water expectantly. How long does he have to wait? WILL IT BE SOON? Is he going to whip fish out of the water like before?? ]

[He's very glad. It's not that long actually. Bits of bone and the scent itself is enough for the fish, however they make that connection. And their mouths don't do much as they start biting at his tail, trying to get whatever it was that "tasted" so good into their mouths.

Okay so the nips at the skin between the spines is a little annoying, but hey, that's what makes this work.

Once he's got enough close by, he abruptly curves his tail fins and yanks inward, sending a rush of water and waves up onto the beach. Both his tail and the currents in the water throw a number of fish up onto the sand, leaving them flopping around in sparkly glory.]

There.
