Dragon breath is serious business.
Welcome back to Silver Spiral Stories! Has it really been a year since we last updated? My word. There is a lot to cover, but most of that was on last month’s comic batch over at Cosmic Dash. Just check the posts under each comic – I lay everything out pretty thoroughly.
Speaking of Cosmic Dash – there will be a Cosmic Dash update tomorrow as well.
Anyway, in this update to Hostile Negotiations, Drakar makes a searing point, here. Literally fired the guy from the syndicate.
Other News
Plenty of stuff going on update-wise; but allow me to focus on one thing with today’s update.
Please take some time over the holiday weekend to catch up with “Fang & Bone“, my pulpy, werewolf adventure serial and the first of the Fang of Triseria stories. There’s some fun stuff on the way there. The next chapter will drop on New Year’s Day. It is also completely free to read, which makes it some very budget-friendly entertainment from chapter to chapter.
Lore of the Silver Spiral Galaxy: Dragon Breath
What Drakar Vadis is is truly a mystery to the larger galaxy. Eventually, we’ll get into his backstory, but allow me to establish something now: He is literally one of a kind in this setting. He appears to have no other members of his species in the Silver Spiral Galaxy.
Drakar’s medical and genetic information is strictly controlled and any early records have been scrubbed and privatized by DraCo. This wasn’t cheap, either, but Drakar was good for it.
As for the dragon breath, few could explain how it works, and anyone who could is under his control… except for me!
Drakar’s dragon breath is a unique combination of magic and the natural biology of his REDACTED species. He has internal organs that maintain a combination of gas and oil. His mouth also has some form of tonsil-like protrusions that manage to scrape together and create the spark needed to jettison the flame.
However, that is merely the biological component. The magic element offers some control of the intensity and trajectory. As for how he has this magic, well, that is a story for another time.
Silver Spiral Stories: Hostile Negotiations – Pg 5 Transcript
The following is a transcript of Silver Spiral Stories: Hostile Negotiations – Pg 5.
Panel One
Drakar Vadis unleashes a torrent of searing flames from his mouth; it is literal dragon breath. Corash screams out.
Corash: You can’t – AAAAARGH!
SFX: FWOOSH!
Panel Two
Drakar grins sinisterly as he looks at his handiwork. The missing eye makes the sight all the more gruesome.
Drakar: “Can’t?” I can do whatever I wish on Blassna.
Panel Three
Drakar is leaving Corash’s office. He glances back and smiles.
Drakar: After all… I am “Kin of the Blassnaught.”
See you in January with a new batch of pages.
