Junior

The only offspring of Megan Ray Dannon and Zelgadis Greywords, this armor plated black dragon looks to be the very spawn of Satan himself with glowing red eyes and vicious acidic saliva that can eat through most everything. However he is a very gentle soul and ended up being the butt of most of his cousin’s pranks and jokes because of his too-good nature.

Though he does not (or cannot) speak, he is a high level telepath, able to read minds and emotions to a painfully detailed level. His talents may even put him on the same ground at the Rex himself. His form of communication is normally a blur of pictures, emotions, and sensory media. His grandmother (Aurora del Mar) akins it to watching MTV on fast forward.

Only one other person seems to be able to keep up with this rapid fire banter, and that is Toby, Morgaine’s son. The two have become inseparable, playing side by side, learning how to ride and joust; perhaps in preparation of real battles to come; but they are boys with visions of grandeur and have not learned the hardships of reality just yet.

Even though Junior is a placid creature, he can defend himself. His acid spit can eat through metal, and even has a sort of anti-mutagen that counters the metabolism of mutants, and brimstone had the misfortune of discovering. He suffered for months after being mistakenly attacked by Junior when he felt that his mother was being threatened.

Junior has long since drifted away from Megan, as most young dragons from the Del Marian region are prone to do, much to Megan’s dismay. At least the drake settled on Morgaine to be his teacher and mentor, the Soothsayer more suited for the task of training the dragon’s young mental abilities. Junior resides at the RDI, protecting it from robbers and offering companionship to Morgaine, Danny, and Toby.
