Dragons are cool. There are three main types in history: Medieval (wings/back/tail) and Chinese (the Worm), and Gargoyles (smaller cousins to the medieval dragons). If you would company with a dragon (you will never own it, just as it would never dream of owning you), just ask for protection first (something you didn't do before and look what happened!), call one sincerely from your heart (a symbolic statue makes it easier to visualize, but it will not be the statue come to life) and ask it its name when you feel in your gut it approaching. The name it gives won't be its real name, of course, since dragons are very smart, but it will be the name by which you will call it. May you have as many happy years together as I and Vogameth have enjoyed. They feed themselves and are not pets.
