Oooh the suspense! Imagine all the possibilites. This reminds me of that story, "Stairway to the Stars", or something like that, except this ends on a much happier note.

Putting your prize pack together now! :3

@sorulis
Oh man that super embarrassing. Thanks.

Upon unraveling it, you see that it is expertly scribed, but not in any style that you have ever seen before. A complex map of heavenly bodies is at the top, some of the stars are given names or coordinates, but they are foreign to you. Upon further inspection, you make out the shape of a pair of dragon's wings emblazoned across the stars. The ink shimmers and glows in the sunlight, and sometimes if the sun hits it just right, the ink disappears completely. the rest of the scroll contains a story. At first you can't quite read the script, but the longer you look at it, the clearer the meaning becomes. [quote]~Draco Alis~ Long ago, when dragonkind was yet a hatchling, There lived a dragon who's name has been lost to the ages. His deeds live on however, and you can still recall them today, if you just look to the skies. This dragon had no greater joy in life, than the joy of when he was flying. He spent more time in the air than he did on the soil. Eventually, he realized that the view he had from so high up above the earth, would be useful for any who happened to be traveling terrestrially. And so he gathered up parchments and inks, and set about creating the first maps. Everyone was overjoyed at his first drafts, dragon and beast-kind alike. However he was not happy with his work. He felt a calling to do more, to go further. It is contested among the flights which god it was who called him to his duty, but whoever it was pulling at the strings of his fate, he went to his work relentlessly. It is said that his feet never touched the ground for 100 years as he flew across the land. Many hatchlings at the time thought it good luck to see him zipping by, and often when he was spotted, other dragons would follow him for a time, asking to hear stories of far off lands. At last, after flying and writing and painting for years upon years, his work was completed. The first complete map of Sorneith was finished. Even today, most maps you will find are heavily influenced by this forgotten dragon's work. It is said that once he finally finished the map, he landed for the last time, handed the map to another dragon, and then he took off again. He rose higher and higher into the sky, until he became one with the stars. And so the constellation of Draco Alis was born. He still is helping navigators and travelers to this day, with his work which has been handed down, and with the constellation he became. If one looks to where the wings are pointing, they will always be able to find true north. [/quote]

@NothingHere

Wow that's amazing! I love how detailed this is! (And the design is simple and detailed at the same time!)

Sending you your prize pack~

@Treesponge [b]The Hippocampus[/b] (Bright red is the constellation lines, darker red to point out how it looks.) [img]http://i.imgur.com/0hctUhc.png[/img] Once upon a time there had been a hippocampus so vain she claimed she could jump into the stars. Arcanist and Tidelord took offense at the claims of the mare, and decided to punish her. Tidelord wished to keep her forever stranded in a whirlpool, while Arcanist wanted to put her in the stars to study how it would affect a being of Sorneith. In the end Tidelord gave up trying to persuade Arcanist, and the hippocampus was thrown into the sky. Now she sits in space, being a subject for Arcanist to study. Interestingly, over time she turned into stars herself. Now her punishment is used to scare young foals and hatchlings alike to keep from lying about their skills.

@ninjagirl27
Succinct and clever! Just as Aries would note on her map. ^_^

@TheHeroicOne
A tragic end for the hippocampus, but a good warning against boasting for younglings.

Prizes sent!

[img]http://imgur.com/BONKvQV.jpg[/img] The Mermaid This constellation is said to bring luck to those who have a true heart and can find her in the sky. Many weary dragons are nervous to even look, for she has also been said to lure dragons to their deaths if they are not true. Many dragons are now trying to find her to ask for help in this crisis. @Treesponge

She tentatively hands you a scroll - rolled neatly and marked with a glowing sigil. The dragon watches wide-eyed, fiddling with her claws as you examine the scroll. [/size][/quote] [img]http://i.picpar.com/Ktbc.png[/img] [quote][size=2]The handiwork is impressive for a dragon of her age. The white ink is drawn in fine, steady lines across the page - the constellation itself is simple, a continuous line comprised of eight different stars. Perhaps you're about to ask what the constellation exactly is, until by some kind of magic the answer lights up before you.[/size][/quote] [img]http://i.picpar.com/Ntbc.gif[/img] [quote][size=2]"That's ME!" The hatchling squeaks, launching itself off of the floor in a burst of energy. She excitedly glides through the air, making loops and twirls, apparently enthusiastic about the twinkling scroll held in your hands. You suppose that the drawing could be her, give a few years of growing. Though the constellation didn't represent any greater theme or legend; it did make one little spiral very happy.
