Drake the Dragon
Mar 16th, 2009 by Drake the Dragon
This is the story of Drake the Dragon, a dragon character from my imagination, started by a strange dream about 5 years ago and since then continued in my mind every night.
I’m not a professional story writer, but I began to forget things of the beginnings already so I lately decided to write it down before the first year of content is lost. I’m regularly getting inspired by whatever I read or watch or hear, the main control over the content have my dreams at night, so if there are coincidences of actions, names, or other facts with other works open to the public, they’re definitely not on purpose but just coincidences. For example “Drake” as the name for this dragon was in my mind quite some time before I first watched the movie “Dragon Heart 2″. I was surprised to find it in there.
I’ve only lately started writing it down, just so that nothing gets lost for good, and due to limited free time currently I can’t guarantee regular continuation. However, there might be people interested in Drake and his adventures on Ancient Earth in times long before history, since they first heard of it in one of my WIP threads on modding forums, so this is for you. I’m also trying to realize the race he is of and whatever else of these stories I can realize in Oblivion modding, so here’s where all the information comes from, in the same chronological order in which I perceived the dreams/ideas. I’m trying to make it entertaining to read. Actually it was created in pictures and sounds, imagination was everything, so I have to convert it into written form as good as I can. Keep in mind though, I’m not a professional writer! There won’t be professional formatting, layout or else, just the story.
Anyways, here it starts. I hope some people will enjoy it.

Strange I do the same thing although I’ve never posted or said it aloud to anyone I imagined a half-dragon guy in a dream once named Draco (never before seen Dragon Heart till i wrote a short story and my teacher told of the movie) but I do the same thing I add to the plot whenever I have the time or am daydreaming i think its gotten pretty advanced to keep track of in my head, cause I don’t write it down. Just felt like saying this, because it was similar to what you posted above.
Oh I really like the story by the way.
I’ve liked your story since i first found it. I look forward to reading more of it.
Intriguing story. I’m very interested in seeing it progress, as you have information in there that I’ve heard of but never really done the research to confirm a source. From dreams, you say? Scratch intriguing. It’s beyond intriguing.
Thank you. Well, there might very well be relations to other existing things. I can’t tell how my mind works after all. In dreams it started, then I consciously took over, trying to think of continuations, then I started being able to control what I dream of, and then the whole thing started working on its own. Now it’s like interactively being part of the story, I have some say over what will happen, my ideas influence the action, and it’s like I “am” Drake.
I won’t deny my mind’s certainly using things I heard of or saw the last days as inspiration for next upcoming events. I realized several similarities in the continuations as of late to certain movies I watched some days ago… but it’s only used to base story elements on, like “what adventure could the little dragon get into today? ah, how about the inhabitants of the lost city of dragons, Drakia, accidently stumbling across ancient means to make the whole city fly, always intended to but never used in its history, yet?”. Of course that must be coming from me watching too much Stargate Atlantis back then, no doubt! But it’s all the more entertaining when events in my surrounding or things I see or hear of during day start influencing the development of the story… it’s pretty much never-ending, anyways, and sometimes even I don’t know what will happen next.
I hope to post at least a few more (sub-)chapters soon, but can’t tell if my limited free time will provide enough opportunity for me to do so in the near future. I apologize for all the delays to all those waiting desperately for it to continue… as is the same for my modding projects. Hang on, it “will” go on.
I’m writing a book, if I get that far, that involves some of your content. May I write it, and perhaps, have Drake be in a chapter?
A book involving some of my content? But there isn’t a lot of content present here at all to begin with. You don’t even know enough about Drake, yet, up to now.
Nevertheless, I don’t see any cause for not allowing it. Feel free to do so. I’m interested in the result.
But considering the little you got to know about Drake, his kind or the plot even at this point, we’ll have to see if it really will be Drake then or just a random dragon with his name.
Not that it matters in any way to you though. Good luck with your writing!
Thanks, and I’ll try to work with what there is here.
