Do Dragons Practice Religion?

Do you practice religion?

Welcome to a new episode of Dragon Street Talk! I gotta keep this short cause I got somewhere to be.

Sukuna (I guess that’s his name now)

I do! I worship the Grand Lord of Winter, Cosima Andino Karrucci! He holds the best parties, has the best win, teaches the best wisdom and helps those of us who pray to him every day. I’ve been a devout follower for years. He’s never let me down.

Nxoe

The Moon is my only religion.

She amplifies my power, I give her my prayer.

The Moon and I are in a symbiosis and I am thankful to be her Chosen One.

Interviewer: so that means you and Asunmo are her emissaries?

Nxoe: Who? Who the fuck is Asunmo???

Interviewer: ahhhh Nevermind.

Ava Marie

I do. There’s a beautiful winter dragon named Samael who I met before I left for Aqualet. I was dying in a snowstorm and he descended and cleared all of the snow by blowing it away. I don’t think a winter dragon could do that. I just thought they make more snow. I then watched him do things like heal people who got stuck on the mountain. He healed me! When I got home I googled him and found out he was a dragon god! Been praying to him ever since.

Interviewer: wait… AREN’T YOU A HUMAN???

Ashuton

This may come as a surprise to you but I do. I know I was born from something, but what of the universe itself? Despite what our tech and scientists might uncover, something had to have created the particles that led to this universe’s existence. I just know it.

In my head, science and religion go hand in hand. Science solves the ‘why.’ Religion provides the ‘who.’

Interviewer: interesting. I never would’ve thought you of all people would be religious considering you gave birth to most progenitor dragons.

Ashuton: ah, you mean The Vessel did.

Interviewer: that’s still you!

Ashuton: I guess…

Thank you for joining us for another episode of Dragon Street Talk. This one was shorter than usual, but that’s because I am in a rush. I have a very important interview to conduct with Rin.

Childhood (Nxoe, Moonwight Dragon)

The moon, in all her glory, welcomed the birth of Nxoe
Secretly born to a Karrucci woman and an unknown human male,
Some theorize the woman to be Avella
Others surmise it is yet another lost child of Nari
Hidden away in the forests

The shamans prayed around him
begged the moon to bless the new life born under its care,
this boy was theirs now.

Nxoe was raised far away from his family, the Karruccis, by this nomadic tribe of moon shamans.
Every day a new handmaiden watched him
They’d rotate like the cycles of the moon
Each maiden experienced his unusually high curiosity

As a toddler trotting around in a human form,
He would pick up bugs and try to stuff them into his mouth
Each week the maidens would wonder “what bug will he eat today?”

the moon maidens would bring him under the moonlight
and explain the stars, the planets, and the moon in the grand scheme of things


everything they said went out one ear and into another

as he got older, he would wander the forests
watching the squirrels tussle with each other
listen to the birds tweet the latest gossip
and if he was lucky enough,
he would see a lizard climbing up a tree

at night, the stillness would terrify him
he never ventured alone into the forests
a maiden always accompanied him

with her, he could appreciate the stillness
the soft trickling of the creek
the soft hum of the night bugs and the chittering critters

it always put a smile on his face
o how he loved it so

slowly but surely
he would become a child of the moon
