Origin of Nibiru and Halimede’s Societies

Neptune was explored in-depth by ice dragons modified to breathe methane and consume ammonia gas. Thirty ice dragons, each from a different species, extracted the gas from the surface and delivered it to their ships for study.

Since these experimental dragons could not survive without methane, they were ordered by Riv’ve Cood to stay in Neptune until breathing tanks were made for them.

…Riv’ve Cood forgot about them after he returned home.

The ice dragons living within Neptune made eggs out of boredom.

Years later, a ship returned to Neptune to habitize its moons. The ship explored the planet itself, but fled at the sight of the angry, bored dragons that began to surround it.

The ship returned and used loudspeakers and telepathic wyrms to make contact with the ice dragons. It was hard for the loudspeakers because of Neptune’s noise, but doable with the wyrms.

The ice dragons barely had any language skills, due to years of boredom zapping it away. They did remember the methane tanks and were able to communicate that.

Their tanks were granted, in exchange for their eggs. The ice dragons agreed, noting, “we can make more.”

The eggs were experimented on at the same time one of Neptune’s moons, Halimede, was being terraformed and implanted.

Implanting is the process of harmonizing any aether within the planet’s material, or rocks, to create a draconic soul from that energy. Being made of the planet’s aether, the soul would materialize as a planet’s sentient “heart,” able to communicate the wills of the world.

This heart is called a Guardian Dragon. Despite the title, guardian dragons also take orders from a planet colony’s overseer.

They didn’t have a single, big crystal to implant into the moon, so various smaller ones were planted on its surface.

When the moon was terraformed and the ice dragons eggs were acclimatized to the planet’s new environment, the planet’s soul wasn’t ready. Progress seemed to slow to a crawl.

The scientist wyrms deduced that either the planet’s rock was too thick or the rest of the aether was buried too deep for the smaller crystals to pick up on.

Human-like aliens were brought to the world to live. Centuries later, the ice dragons’ descendants departed for another world: Nibiru.

The dragons took their ships with them, leaving the people of Halimede without interstellar travel—much to their fatal detriment.

The dragons on Nibiru stayed there for a while, but eventually left, leaving any dragons who chose to stay behind.

However, without a Guardian Dragon to communicate the state of the planet, Nibiru’s destructive tendencies caught its draconic population off guard.

They weren’t the strongest, they weren’t tuned to the universe, they lacked the proficiency in manipulating energy, so there was no escape when the surface of Nibiru cracked, crumbled, crushed and collapsed.

and then? Nibiru made its journey to Halimede, answering its call.

When wellness transmissions from Halimede ceased, a ship full of eight dragons was sent to inspect the planet. When they reached the planet’s location, they found a debris field and a small, biped dragonlike sitting on top of an asteroid, gazing at Neptune.

The search party’s scanners found the remains of crystals used for implanting.

Another scan of the rocks also revealed there were different kinds of rocks among the debris. They matched Halimede and the planet of Nibiru, which had been settled long ago.

The existence of this dragonlike, the rocks and the crystals led them to deduce that the destruction of the planet was caused by the dragonlike’s birth.

Very old archive records from the coreworld showed this occurred once before. When a planet resisted implanting, it imploded on itself with the crystal’s power.

However, Halimede did not resist. It…could have called to Nibiru because of their compatible aether type. It’s will was to birth its own Guardian Dragon—the dragonlike resting in the debris, but did Halimede know that destruction was inevitable?

The search party returns home and reports their findings to the Draconizica Council.

Morcudii, a pearl dragon who led an expedition to Earth, insisted that Nibiru and Halimede be remade.

The search party members cringed—gritting their teeth and ruffling their wings—at her decision.

How long would that take?

The guardian dragon was put to sleep in a stasis tank and fed videos and images that evoked peace. They didn’t want it to think the destruction was its doing.

As for the inhabitants who died in the crisis, they are immortalized on the coreworld. Statues erected in their honor, a small museum dedicated to teaching the upsides and downsides of Implanting, and an exhibit teaching the benefits of Guardian Dragons.

Draconizica: Quick About & Terms

Draconizica is an empire of space-faring dragons that have existed for billions of years—many speculate since the birth of the universe.

They are believed to come from one source, a dragonlike called Lementia, who bore them out of her body’s substance (hence the term Substance).

Dragons with a high substance count can shift into many things and manipulate their DNA to be compatible with anything that it can mate with.

Breeding and expansion are important aspects to Draconizica, with Lementia’s intent being: spread amongst the stars like a plague.

On Earth, dragons have conducted an array of experiments and bred with many creatures to create: vampires, mermaids, harpies, magical ponies and many other mythological creatures.

There are many dragon sub species and body types like: Six Limber, Wyvern, Wyrm, Drake, Amphitere, Serpent, and various lower class of animals and many cross breeds (for example, merdragons and cat dragons).

Males and females are capable of birthing eggs. On earth, male dragons might go through extra stress like bullying, due to human male perceptions on pregnancy.

The empire itself has many sub empires and splinter groups ruling under it, like Ushavi, Crystallum, Leeje etc.

Many worlds have different experiences with dragons. In the case of earth, dragons have wildly varied experiences. Lower-powered feral and shifter dragons might experience socioeconomic problems brought on by human laws. An example are the hunting restrictions.

On Wyrmscourge, dragons control the media and rule the landscape. No news about other worlds is allowed. Dragons treat their people with cruelty.

Other dragon groups, like Axienfa, go from world to world to give humanitarian aid.

The diversity of Draconizica is hard to state in these few examples. This is why these short stories exist, to give you a glimpse in the lives of these dragons.
