Dragonology

  Since I missed last week and I'm posting late this week I thought I might as well post next weeks chapters. I've gotton lazy and when I had this idea to post about dragons I wrote ten chapters on the spot. When I decided that I wouls post one a week I became lazy and stopped my creative writing cravings for the story. I believe if I were to get closer to the deadline then I'll get off my ass and actually write the next chapter.

  Dragonology - Tracking and Taming Dragons
 A Deluxe Book And Model Set
Volume one: European Dragons 
Writen By: Dr. Ernest Dranke
Edited by: Dugalda A. Steer, B.A.S.A.S.D

  This is a book that my friend let me borrow. Let me give you the knowledge that it witholds because I need to give the book back. Also, I'm sure we can think of something pretaining to the story. 

  Chapter One
  Word document doesn't consider 'dragonology' a word. Tells you its beliefs. It makes me think. If I can write god and it automatically corrects it to God or even buddah and it correct it to Buddah shouldn't dragonology be considered a word? Those are names yes, but they still mark the existance of something/someone dragonology represents the 'the study of dragons'. When I look up the word on google even the definition is a series of books but not an actual word. It makes me curious. Anyone can argue their point. 
  I haven't posted on the fact blog in days. I haven't posted on the picture one either. I will get to those tomorrow because it's late but one individual answered my discussion post about saying that Wyvern's scientific name is 'draco afriganus'. my fellow tumblr friend responded to this post stateing his opinion. 
  Davidguile is his user. He said that since dragons are creatues naming them scientifically should be more specific. You know, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. I can't tell you specificly what you said because I forget and the message is not in my database anymore but he was thinking on the lines of Kingdom: Animalia Reptilia and such. Go ahead and tell me what you think. I wouldn't know what to label them as (as of right now anyway). 
  On the first page it notes that there is a slight difference between female and male dragons. Honestly, I'd hope so? Chapter one is basically an introduction. Let's face it "we must be prepared torefute those who claim that dragons are unreal." Like I said, personally I don't mind the fact that they aren't real or are. It'd be amazing to know of dragon's existing but at the same time they're just like dinosaurs to me. They were alive at one point but now they do not live iin the era that I live. 
  When I spoke to a friend name Mike who runs Sportsmaniac in my local mall he asked me how I would feel to know if dragons were alive. Just like any other 'wild' animal he pointed out that not every dragon is hotile but there is that chance. "Just think of it." He said. "I walk outside this mall right now and there's a dragon in the parking lot. You don't know if the thing breaths fire or not nor do you know if it is hostile or not. So, what do you do? After a long days work personally I'd just want to go home. And there's this... this dragon in the parking lot! What do I do? I want to go home. It's been a long day at work? I mean. That's hard to phathom."
  He made a point and it made me laugh. If dragons were to be real and thriving today what would society do? Well, think of it this way. It's and animal. Dragon skin would probably be a best seller if it were in the market. Just look in video games! So, they're prone to extinction. 
  I'm pretty sure not everyone in this word is going to love the fact that a dragon fire breathing or not lives amongst the skies and still has to eat. Not every single person in this word agrees which is why dragons being able to be tamed and trained? A very low possiblity. Of course though, there are always those people who are up for the challange. 
  The other option I can think of is this. Even if we manage to tame some of the dragons that doesn't mean all of them will be. Besides, animals are meant to run wild and or assist but not be owned. That's why I find it amusing when people tell stories in the animals point of view. Some people say this is my hman friend. Other's say this is my owner. Now those two statements are different. Not every animal will accept the fact that 'humans are surperior'. We're far from it. I can only imagine that a dragon who would be around the wrong set of humans would run hostile every now and then and burn a city just to relieve its anger. 
  Not all dragons breath fire. Great, not all of them can scorch us but some can drown us others poison. I mean. Think about it! They're still pretty dangerous. I love dragons. I do. And that's why I'm doing this research project but really. I don't know how I'd feel to have a dragon running around hostile or not in my city. If anything I'd attempt to protect it but then again would the smog in the sky (like in New York) harm a dragon? Hm. Who knows. 
  In the book it says "when our scientist first heard of the duck-billed platypus in 1797, they laughed". I don't blame them. It's something new. Just like right now. Not everyone is coming here with 100% faith that dragons are real. If I weren't the owner of this blog I'd come here to see what they would think about dragons and then base off my thoughts on what 'sounds' believable and hey, it may or may not be the same as someone else. 
  "Recently, (I'll check the books date) Henry Stanley learned of another apparently mythical animal, the okapi." Apparently, the Okapi is a "mythical beast or new scientific wonder of the African Congo." I'm focused more on dragons but the point of that statement is to show that there are more than just dragons out there. Like Unicorns for example. The version I have says that the book was first published in 2006 so recently has been eight years ago. Which is fine. I'll tell you what I learn and think up anyway but we'll try to go through updates alright? The story itself is updated every week but notes like these will happen every time I decice to sit down and write about dragons. 
  Tell me what you think everyone. Shoot questions to my tumblr if not shoot them here. I'd like to get every angle I can on this dragon existance. Direct questions to the link "The Facts" otherwise my email is Lusterdragon72@gmail.com name the email: Question About Dragons or something like that and I'll answer to you. Go ahead and comment here as well. I'll answer either way. Good day for now. It's late where I am. I need to sleep for now.
