Your awakening

[icedragon65]

My awakening happened about 4 years ago. I was hanging out after work with two of my friends. Now I've only known them for a couple weeks now, but I felt like they were almost like family. We were talking and soon we were discussing about magic and dragons and stuff of that nature. One of my friends, whos name I will not reveal, asked me if I believed that dragons are real. All of my life I have drempt of dragons and enjoyed stories of them, and I had always believed that dragons are among us. So, I said yes. What he told me next was what triggered my awakening. He told me that he was a dragon, like me, but with the power over the wind. He said that he was on a search for his brother's that he lost after an insendent that happened a long time ago. A war or something, our memory is still trying to piece it self together. He said that he thinks I'm one of his brother's, one who has power over the cold. He showed me how to use my powers. I tested it, lets just say that it snowed during a very warm night. I haven't seen my brother in about 3 years, but I know he's still out there searching, as am I. If your wondering about my other friend, she is a witch that my brother befriended. She helped mythical creatures that were in trouble or hurt, and protected them. She helped my brother and they became great friends. She has a habit of disappearing from time to time. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

i wasnt really supposed to happen.but here i am and theres not a thing that anyone can do to change who i am.
i only realised in the last few years that we are slaves to society and since ive come free it is like my eyes have been opened to the mass nationisation that is taking place around me

Not really sure if this is "an awakening", but there is alot I don't understand. Not sure if I should have added my "Ison" story, lol. That one just makes me seem like a nutter.

I think I showed more 'dragonkinism' as a young child (ages 2-11) than I do now, because I was tired of being made fun of and tried to adjust my behavior. Anyways..

When I was really younger, like 2-4 I made up a story about me and my 'invisible twin' (maybe the dragon side of me?) falling from the clouds because of a big war, or something. I would say I was a rare magical creature that everyone was after. I just started adding on to the story after that, adding different kinds of 'rare magical creatures', which I had named Isons. There were Waterisons, who swam, and Glide-isons, who flew, and a few others.
I always liked dinosaurs, I'm not sure why. I just liked them. I got lots of dinosaur toys, dinosaur computer games. Even got this one game where you hunted the dinosaurs. Pretty fun.
Also, for awhile, I even had this big 'collection'(hoard?) of poptart boxes. I still have all of them in a big box somewhere. I didn't sit on them, but I grabbed an egg from the fridge before and sat on it, not sure if it broke..
I always wanted to fly, on my own, no planes, as a child, I would make little cardboard wings and flap em up and down. In the car I would look up out the window and pretend I was flying. I used to run on the couch and jump off it and flapped my arms in hope I would fly, That didn't really work out, but I did get a work out from doing that so I could run really really fast, which was better than nothing.
I used to turn my blankets into a 'nest' and curl up in it and sleep. I would also like to pretend that my little plastic baby dolls were my children so I would protect them, lol.
When it was cold out, I liked(and still do) to play with my breath, since I could see it.
I used to roar really good "like a lion" (is how i described it), atleast I think I did, when you are a kid you think everything. All I can do it growl now.
I'm not sure exactly when dragons came into the picture... maybe about 10... I was/am obsessed with dragons. I was always inlove with fantasy even at that age. I would go to the fantastic fiction section in the library and rent the real big books about dragons. I will even go to any movie that has a dragon in it, no matter what the reviews are. Dragonheart was magnifique.. and from what I have read, alot of you agree with me.
I get protective of my food, and I am constantly paranoid that someone is in my house trying to steal something.
I draw dragon personas of myself alot and in every dream I have, I can either fly, turn into a dragon, or both. Theres also some physical stuff like a really strong sense of smell and fast reflexes that I still have.

When I read up on 'draconists', It kind of scared me when I remembered my childhood. Because there were so many things that lead to this. It feels like a weight has been lifted off of me ever since I have figured out.

I do enjoy the company of my 'hardcore' draconist 'friend' on battle.net/warcraftIII when they are not... 'extreme bothering' me. Since they are the only dragonkin I have met, or otherkin in that matter... Makes me wish I could find another otherkin in real life to keep me company.

EDIT: After reading the bottom of WolfDragon's post further down, I do not have an extremely 'sad part' of my story, no part where I am battling with life or death, which for some reason is required for an 'Awakening'. I cannot remember all the things mentally and physically that are odd about me in the time it takes for me to post it. I have always had a wild imagination, I constantly finding myself drifting away from reality to my little 'dream world' where I imagine things. My rage setting off a dragon form is one of them. I can't meditate, though I haven't tried, because I can't completely shut up my mind. It is like two people are chattering away up there. I can shut one up but the other one just wants to talk to me because it gets lonely. I was such a nutter little kid I never realized that no one ever agreed with me with anything or the things I did were different, because I went to a small Christian school and everyone was nice to everyone no matter what. No one laughed at me for the things I did so I thought it was normal. When I went into public school for one year, I was the target of everyone's mockery. I then switched back into another private christian school, where again, no one really cares, but after public school I had began to change the way I acted, but not who I was.

Please, tell me what is required for an Awakening. For apparantly, I know not.

My awakening came with a close encouter with Death, and by my own hands too.

It started basically about 6 years ago or so. I never fit in, and it didn't matter who I acted like: I was still an outcast, a nobody in the world. That was the first time I started to walk down a darkened path few ever come back from. After a while of being like others and still not being noticed, I decided to be me, only I had forgotten who I was by that point, becoming nothing more than a shadow in the world.

The way I am now is primarily because of that time period, as I had to re-create who I was and shape my identity from scratch. From there, I started to be my new self, not caring if others noticed me or not; I cared only about being happy myself. If others noticed me, that was all fine and dandy. If not, aw well.

Over time, I started to be noticed and started making friends, though many of them were never real friends. Some of them used me, later to betray me because I couldn't help them reach their own goals anymore. My first taste of betrayal, another step closer to the event. Middle school came, and things went well for a good part, but things were boiling and changing beneath the surface. Darkness was forming in me, my once pure heart and soul that I had created were becoming tainted.

I started being someone I really wasn't. I felt alone, and pretty much was: only my mother and my brother were the only ones I could trust, but not even they could I trust with what was really going on in my life. Time passes, the darkness grows, and I grow more and more into someone...someTHING that I am not. A monster poised to strike with uncontrolled rage and wrath, ready to kill without a reason to do so.

A person turned into what he was not.
The signs start to show during the first years of high school, the beast starting to show it's face. A face of Death, but a beast calling out for help as well. No help came. Left alone, I faced my inner demons and lost. I was consumed by my darkness, fighting a rapidly losing battle against it. Then my Final Solution.

A sword. Suicide. Ending my pain, taking away the burden I was upon others. For a while, I had known of something higher existing. But it was not one, but many. The Guardians. I came close to driving the sword through myself, but they interviened. They, and another.

The Great Ruby Dragon, the Dragon Spirit that resided along-side my own, Almoraan. They told me the truth, taught me why I existed: not to suffer and be an example as I had though, but instead to help others and save all. I was ment to lead the fight against a being that theatened all, light and dark. A creature that did not belong here in our world, in our realm.

I was to lead the defenders of our world. I was never a leader, dispite being a good one. I didn't like the idea, but came to grasp it anyways: one finds it easier to go with their fate than to fight against it. From there, my awakening began, realizing the truth as to who and what I was.

From there, things turned for the better...and the worse. The Fragments came with the death of my great-grandfather; the Shadow Tiamat appearing, and the fight against him over the course of a full year before Kata turned him into an ally; the death of my mother, and the vows to never let what happened to her happen to anyone close to me so long as I drew breath; my true demon coming forth, Orcus.

Many events have occured since my awakening begun. In a way, I'm still waking up, but I think that I have awoken and set off on my way to do what I must to make this world fit for all: human, dragon, everything.

Fair. Just. Understanding. A goal I cannot accomplish alone, but one I hope to have continued. First on my list is the ceasing of unneeded fighting. More blood has been shed in our world than needs to be, and I aim to stop the unneeded bloodshed.


There are things about me that few know, and should know; some that I have not even a thought of. I have a reason to exist. To protect...to save...to defeat that which means all that I care for harm.

A vow to keep to all: so long as I draw breath, and even afterwards, I will protect all those I hold dear to me with all of my power, and outside of it. No matter what I must do, I will protect those close to me: rules were ment to be broken, and when one's life is on the line, one accepts that all rules have exceptions to them.


That is all...if thou all request it to stay that way...

Mine is kind of like the loner kid story, I always felt out of place, and did a lot of reading and running to get away from other kids, well, when I was about seven, I read huge novels, and had a really good one about dragons, (the name escapes me) Also, note I have always had an overactive imagination, so anyway, back to this thing. That same week, my 'friends' lied to me, and it really hurt my feelings, so I went for a run, not a run but really a run away. I spent four hours sitting under a tree on this dark trial and I fell asleep, or something like sleep, anyway, floating around my subconcious I met myself in the future, I was happy, now if you knew me at seven you would know I hated life. anywho, I was happy in the future, because I had had a life changing event...... then I dissapeared and this book came back to me, but the dragon, who I had imagined into my dream, was speaking to me, we sat and talked for sometime about courage, true strengh, intelligents, then I woke up. I walked home, next to my 'dragon' friend and felt good just because he was there, that dragon sorta... um, well the imagination fused with my soul, like inner fire, if you guys know what I mean, and whenever I feel down, I can look into a fire and see my dragon watching me, giving me confidence. Ever since them, I have adopted the dragon as my symbol for everything, like a standard, anyway, it represents power and the ability to control it, intelligents, and to know whats right. The dragon s universal in a way that it applies to everything in my life now, which I think is cool. As of now I am trying to paint a whole wall in my room with a scene of a dragon on a mountaintop, perched, watching over everything. Up beyond the clouds. Almost every book I own has something to do with dragons, I used to have a dragon bedlamp, but it dissapeared one day, and I have a few statues, one of which is a large doorstop. Unfortunatly, there are not many dragon video games *sigh* so yah. Again, to this day, my inner fire, courage, wisdom, and dragon still exist, and I present that to you all for your judgement openly, cause I think we are the only ones who truly understand each other!

Something I have to point out here, I have noticed in these stories that most of us started out as outcasts looking for a family, not physical, but people who could support you. Like Ruby I too have felt cold steel against myself and saved myself thanks to a friends on\f mine, and I just have to say to you all, thanks for understanding everything!

[Ruby #3756]

*nods* I understand what you're saying WolfDragon, and don't forget this: I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to about something, alrighty? ^.=.^ As for the whole 'inner fire' part, I know that feeling too. Sometimes, all I do is look deep within myself and I find something not yet seen in this world, or at least for many many years.

I see a dragon clad in white-gold armor, his red left eye and blue/green right eye looking back at me. The Shi 'kara Tiamat, as I call him. The red reflecting the hate in us, the blue reflecting the sorrow, the green reflecting the tranquility. The essence of balance, to say the least. Usually, I feel power surging through my body and around me when I listen to some kinds of music, but it's not required.

^.=.^; I know, I sound kinda weird and out there with that, but that's how it is. As I've stated before, my heart can be as corrupted as it can get, my spirit will remain pure and never faulter to anything. This is how I am, and this is how I always shall be. XD;

i don't know if i have had an awakining or not but just so yall know i don't remember much of my past i got hit on the head too many times ok..(back to topic) well ever since i read several books (some non dragon related) i watched the movie eragon and startd to write my own book {i have it posted on here} [this all happened a few years ago] but any ways ever since i read one of the books from the harper hall trilogy i wanted to read all of them and i'm still wanting to get a whole lot more dragon books and i also want to get dragon oil burners globes incense burners and more i have drawn a picture of a dragon spiraling up a large two handed sword with multicolor (the dragon) and in the back ground are mountains and a clear blue sky and i drew it from a visualization (subconcious visualization) to the xact size color and scenery and i kept it and put it in my note bookfor safe keeping but now i don't know where it is but ill try to find it a get it posted on here.
but ever scince i can remember i loved dragons

me i am an outcast of society and i don't seem to fit in any where so after playing fantasy games my mind got lost in a fantasy realm and i have found a few friends to hang with but none who understand me the only ones who do are the ones i create with my mind (yes i still have imaginary friends {hey i need some one that is not a shrink to talk to that understands me ok}) and also i talk with my guardians mainly Lenreyah who is eithr an earth dragon or an ice dragon.(i know kind of off topic right) cause when i start to gather energy i feel a cold wind between my hands it's not the wind blowing and it is not exhaled breath but a perpetual cold wind (not a freezing wind just a chilled wind)

Ok.This is a thread to post your awakening ,not you OPINION about dragons.Be explicit please.

[secret person]

Wel, I have to say, I don't know exactly when my Awakening happened, I know I have like dDragons allot since I was young. One role in that is my mother, has allot of Dragon stuff, is a great artist with them, And you could say she is a Dragon Lover. I remember being fascinated by reading Dragon Rider, Eragon, and a Few other books. [currently Wake is my reading book]. I also Remember another role in that was the Spyro the dragon game and two others behind it my mother got. I also remember my favorite animal planet show was the Dragons one.

I think one role in a awakening is going through and finding much of our Dragon stuff, and my mom getting me a nice Dragon decoration I still have on my wall. And recently, I have gathered allot from this site, and finding information about them from the internet. Although, I firmly believe I was just born a Dragon lover, though, I want to find out more about my moms relation with them.
