Sylum Inspiration: Tiny Terror

 

No one is quite sure where Tiny Terror comes from.  They do know he’s a dragon like Draco, but a different breed.

He’s about 4ft in length, comes up to mid calf on average size human.  He has the ability to spit fire, which is extremely hard to put out.

(Dilios Note: Just ask Muldoon and his never ending supply of shoe laces)

He hides in the tall grasses of Africa and hunts smaller animals.

Tiny became part of Ghost and Darkness when I found him wandering and adopted him.  He doesn’t like Muldoon much, but adores Grady.

In Memoriam

 

Yesterday – Sylum lost one of it’s original members.   

Janelle,  our beloved Benton, passed yesterday morning to cancer.  

She was part of Sylum from the beginning, and attended many of the Sylum Cons.   She had a beautiful soul, a contagious laugh, and was a wonderful person.

Janelle – I know you’re at peace and resting in God’s arms.  

Please consider making donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in her name, and for all those we’ve lost to Breast Cancer.

Sylum Inspiration: Mushu

 

Mushu is a different dragon that Draco or Tiny Terror.   He has the ability to talk like Draco, but not nearly as big.  Mushu is about 8ft long, and stands about 3 ft high on his four legs.  He can if concentrates sit up, balancing on his back legs which makes him about 6ft high.  He can wind himself around trees, and as the ability to camouflage.  He can also mimic statues, making him a good spy.

No one knows how old Mushu is, just one day he showed up to Katsumoto, and ended up art of the clan. When Nathan appeared, Mushu declared that Nathan was his human and he takes care of him.

There are running bets in Shogun on when Nathan will be able to walk across the large open field without tripping over Mushu, who slides in and around his feet while he does it.   There has only been one moment in history where it almost happened.  Nathan was recovering from the concentration camp and was stalking across the field – everyone watched holding their breath as he was only a few feet from the forest line – when he went down.

Katsumoto had found his Mate curled up with Mushu.

He helped Nathan deal with his ordeal.  It’s the only reason he keeps the snarky annoying dragon around.

AI Appreciation Day

 

There’s been a lot of talk about AIs over the past couple of years. 

Even where I work we’ve mentioned it a time or two (though I did state that unless the AI has a British Accent I’m not interested!)

So today lets celebrate Sylum’s two AIs!
