I've wanted a firelizard since the first time I read Dragonsong...I am deeply jealous of New Wave......hearth dragons should be real, and its a crime against humanity that they aren't.
Huh, that's spellcheck.
No, it would just be expensive to replace.Unexpected, but wholesome.
If I smash my laptop to the ground and demand another, would that be gauche?
Feel free to write an omake of this.I have a bad memory(which comes in handy with re-reading old favorites) so I have probably said this before. But I think the author making a spin-off of this story following the "Master of the Castle" would be great... Maybe he started as an Isekai/reincarnator with the Celestial Grimoire?
That gives me the amusing idea of someone trying to give Snek orders in Parseltongue, only for him to hang his head and admit, rather shamefacedly, that he was raised among humans and never actually learned to speak Snake.
PARAHUMAN RESPONSE TEAMS GENERAL ORDER
EAST-NORTH-EAST DEPARTMENT
DATE: 06/12/11
CLEARANCE: OPEN
REQUIRED READING: ALL PERSONNEL
SUBJECT: HEARTH-DRAGONS
It has come to the attention of the office of the Director that there are no fewer than three of the scientifically anomalous creatures termed 'hearth-dragons' within the city, in the company of New Wave. These creatures have an established connection to the creature known as 'Snek' (see relevant file): the best analysis available to this office indicates that they originate from the same world.
Given a) this connection, and b) that all three hearth-dragons are closely associated with New Wave capes, and c) they have appeared in public alongside said heroes, the following orders are in place for all PRT personnel, Protectorate personnel, and affiliated capes and contractors.
It is not beyond the realms of probability that more hearth-dragons will end up on Earth Bet. Unless otherwise specified, the above orders will also apply to those.
- Hearth-dragons are to be treated as friendly, intelligent allies whenever encountered.
- If you encounter a hearth-dragon that appears to be in distress, make every effort to determine why, and to remedy the situation. Contact their human affiliates as soon as possible.
- While hearth-dragons are nonverbal, they are highly empathetic and appear to have a working comprehension of the English language. Even if they don't understand what you say, keep in mind that they will understand what you mean.
Signed,
Director Emily Piggot
PRT ENE
I'll admit to some curiosity. Would the Director prefer to have a giant snake wandering through the city every so often? Or would she rather have an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-doing villain who wields a pistol, a shotgun, and a pair of shears residing full-time in the city instead?So long as the snake kept returning to Brockton Bay, the joint role of the PRT and Protectorate in the city was becoming less and less relevant. As a result, most of the capes in the Protectorate and Wards were due to transfer out to other departments come the first of July, along with the bulk of the troopers, and the building would be relegated to being more of an administrative location. At the same time, Emily would be making her final decision whether to transfer somewhere in an advisory capacity—ten years of running the PRT in her own personal hell-hole had left her with some extremely expensive life lessons—or just retire and claim her pension.
I can just see Snek!Piggot and Atropos!Piggot in a bar, both leaning on the counter, staring into their drinks.I'll admit to some curiosity.

Snip
Atropos doesn't hurt innocents. Snek has zero problem with people who kill villains.The real question on my mind is if Atropos and Snek would get along. They're both OCPs, but Snek send to be an order of magnitude or two higher on the bs scale. Meanwhile Atropos is a killer but isn't a bad person, so not sure where she falls on Snek's friend-food scale.
So definitely on the friend side of the Food to Friend scale, good to know.Atropos doesn't hurt innocents. Snek has zero problem with people who kill villains.
They would probably get along frighteningly well.
