[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]

[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[dwbi]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]

[What else are you up to today!]

I’ve worked with them before, but no, all of my familiars are dragons. I have my two dragonwolves, a flowerdrake, and a Greater Coastal dragon.

[ratiocinations]

I see. Still, what a sight the brain conjures up in its imaginings...

[Dragons. Actual dragons.]

A shame I cannot see them.

[bowtiedbones]

If I get my powers back, you will! Or at least the flowerdrake.

[ratiocinations]

[Oh? Flower mention???]

A dragon with flowers?

[bowtiedbones]

Sort of! Flowerdrakes are a really small kind of dragon. They eat a lot of fruit and flowers.

[ratiocinations]

I see. In which case, if you do regain the ability to summon it, I wish to be one of the first to meet it.

[bowtiedbones]

I already have her skeleton back! So as soon as my magic's back properly, I'm waking her up.

[ratiocinations]

Her skeleton... [Returned to her from home?] Perhaps I misunderstand the nature of your "summoning." Is it only the skeleton that... [???] ...revives?

[bowtiedbones]

[cheerily, she loves explaining things!!]

I do know how to summon live creatures, like I got my start with hellhounds, but I’m primarily a necromancer. My dragons are extinct species so I only have their skeletons to work with.

My magic replaces her musculature and the summoning acquires a new soul for her. So she can move and act like a normal flowerdrake, but she’s still bones.

[Great, he loves listening!]

Necromancy... By Jove. [that is really all he can say about that, it is SO far out of his wheelhouse he has no choice but to Accept It]

But where do you get this new soul? Surely they're not just floating about freeing, waiting for a new vessel...?
