I am...Nigihayami Kohakunushi, but you may call me Kohaku or Haku. ( The voice belongs to a boy who looks like he is no older than twelve. His expression is impassive, the grey-green of his eyes as difficult to read as murky water.

Behind him, there is a dragon with a long skinny body, short legs and tufts of hair on his head, neck and tail. He gives a mighty yawn, showing pointed teeth. )

I am new to Camelot, though I believe I have heard of it. In my world it was thought to only be a legend, but that could be a consequence of distance and not the truth.

I hope to make friends and regain - ( He stops himself, looking around warily. If another witch is causing this, he doesn't want to take chances and speak out of turn. ) Never mind.

This is my familiar. ( Turning, at last, to the awaiting dragon, he lays a hand on the spirit's head. ) Should you see him, do not fear him.

You will give him an ego. ( It might be too late for that with how his companion preens. ) Yes! Camelot is well-known in my world.

I can't say I know the details, but I have heard of it.

[mysophobic]

I'm sorry! He's just very...photogenic. I wouldn't mind drawing a picture of him...if you don't mind?

Is it like this place at all then? Or is it something completely different from what this place is?!

[kohaku_river]

No, I don't mind. Are you an artist?

From what I know, yes, this place is like it. Camelot was supposed to be a place of magic. Have you ever heard of Merlin?

[mysophobic]

Not by profession. I'm actually a doctor back home. But I really enjoy drawing as a hobby! So I just like to draw things that interest me. Some people have really amazing familiars. Creatures that I've never seen before, so I want to try to document them and maybe make it into an encyclopedia of sorts.

Before arriving here, no! But he's a really powerful wizard here apparently.

[kohaku_river]

I can tell you about him. He and I are the same...type...of spirit. ( Saying "species of spirit" seems strange. )

That makes sense. He is the best known in the Camelot mythology.

[mysophobic]

You're a spirit too? That's amazing! I don't think I've met a spirit before. So you're both alike? [ Shigeru is even more interested now, sorry Haku. ]

He's a super-powerful wizard so of course he'd be famous!!

[kohaku_river]

We are both dragons. His color differs from mine. ( But still part of a "water" palette. Also, he doesn't mind! Ask. )

People are drawn to power.

[mysophobic]

Oh wow! The dragons back in my world aren't exactly...kind. But they're also tainted and cursed in a way similar to myself and other phrobiests.

[ But there's no lie in the other man's words. People tend to be drawn to that which can overpower and harm them. ]

I wish you weren't right but, well, people tend to want it for their own use right? And some people just find it alluring to be around too.
