The Beating of Wings (NSFW)

[Aracth'nil]

Coming soon: My first fanfic on the adventures of a dragon and its human or humanoid companion.
I don't know how long this will last or go for, so feel free to feedback my writing. The first few chapters will probably be SFW so I'll keep you posted. Expect chapters at least once a month with the first hopefully within the week.

I'll probably name the dragon Aracth'nil, cause it's the only creative name I've come up with in a while.

Anyway, hope to post here in a bit. Feel free to drop any questions or suggestions below.

----EDIT----
Apparently I've bit off more than I can chew, so might take a little while on the first chapter.

If you're having trouble with trying to get creative names, remember that just about everything is unoriginal and built off of something else, from names, to music, even to the same generic story plots and themes being used over and over again in movies, books, games and more.

For example, look at every language thats developed in Europe. Just about every single one uses latin at its base, which is why some words from one language can be somewhat understood in another language (like how penis is spelt and probably pronounced similarly across several differing languages, which is scary considering how long ago that word made its first inception.) Even when languages don't have the same base, you can still end up with loan words that both languages use and have the same meaning, such as with the Fillipinos or (South) Koreans who steals some words from another language since there might not be a local equivalent.

Onto stories, while they might be presented through different mediums, such as through film, games or written works, we all know that there are many unoriginal works out there, the most obvious offender being romeo and julliet type stories, such as with Westside story. Some works go as far as to not even hide where they get their ideas from, such as with Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now with their whole 'the horror' thing.

Then there are actual names, with a lot of people just being named after famous people, such as Alexander the Great, Queen Elizabeth, the many Kings with the name James, Napoleon Bonaparte, whoever the heck Kim (or Lee) was or is (I blame the Koreans), Jesus and his baptist John, Queen Victoria, Josef (Joseph? Stalin?), etc. (With the exception of Adolf, Hitler or any combination of, for obvious reasons). Hell, you can argue that surnames are even more unoriginal, like Smith or Brown or my own last name that when translated to English means lawn.

The most original word I know of is 'lanta' and its so original, not even google can immediately tell me what it means.

Thanks... I think I got a long term story plot in my head now. Prologue coming soon!

[Aracth'nil]

Here's my attempt at the start of this story:
(1st Part of the Prologue)

► Show Spoiler

Prologue 'Bring in batch 12A-5'
A test tube enters the room, a liquid looking opaque and murky inside.
'If we succeed at this, we could have a revolution on our hands. We might even be the foremost military company in the world.' *** Five years later
Aracth'nil flew through the sky, the world and its expanses lying before him. Here in the Dome, there was no way out, but he knew that there was plenty of space for him and the other few dragons that inhabited the area. Today, we was flying towards the pack of other dragons that he had split off from earlier to explore a noise and lights that they had seen the night before. Absorbed in his thoughts, the dragon looked down and saw the camp of dragons. 'Time had passed quickly indeed', he thought.

As he descended, he noticed the absence of noise coming from the camp. 'They must be sleeping - they must have had a late night when I went.' He himself was tired from the night flying, and upon landing and seeing the other dragons indeed sound asleep, he laid down and was soon in the depth of his slumber. He had found nothing of concern, just a volcanic eruption that was common in that part of the Dome. There was nothing to worry about.

I know it's a bit lame and short, but I fell sick recently so I'll probably post more when I'm ok. Also, I'm a slow writer, so I will probably just write about that much pretty frequently, if I can keep motivated.
