Titan's Fall

On his eighth year of being an Alpha, they took flight, and snatched that ebony dragon from everything he knew, taking him to the 'BloodSport Arena'. And considering no one had the guts to challenge the mighty Alpha of the night with the fury of his name, they had to go to extreme measures. For no ruler can reign forever... And the dark dragons of nightmares are out for blood.

Viewer discrimination is highly advised for the gritty story. Some use of language down below.

Glossary; Terms, Words, Definitions, Etc.

Flap-ring-round: Phrase -Often spoken of with the concept or past tense of patrol, it means to fly around the same place over and over.

Dragoness: A female dragon, typically fully grown/matured, with hatchlings.

'Homing' calls: The often unique (often determined by the pitch or silent thrumming of the sound- this can come in hundreds of variations, and sometimes can only be picked up by an Alpha Dragon's hearing) sound that a dragon may make when approaching its nest/nesting grounds/home.

Royal Family:Dragons descending from previous bloodlines of Alpha Dragons; most live in the NightFuria Palace, protected by the Royal Guard.

Royal Guard: The elite fighters that guard the Royal Family in the Palace.

Wyrdens:The 'protectors' or 'standard Guard' of the BloodSport Arena. There are four types; the Flight Wyrdens, the Defender Wyrdens, Raiding Wyrdens (sometimes known as simply 'Raiders') and the Patrol Wyrdens. [More information on the subject can/will be found in-story.]

BloodSport Arena: Location- The coliseum-like arena that dragons will fight in, located on Draekon Island- beside the NightFuria Palace, and Amethyst Mountain.

Flock/Herd/Pack/Thunder of Dragons: A tricky, and often muddled topic. The correct word for a group of dragons is a Thunder, but in less formal manners, there is a simple way to define it. A herd of dragons is a non-winged group of dragons that are all the same species, and often rank in the hundreds for their numbers. A pack of dragons is a mix of species, in any manner or form. A flock is a group of dragons that can fly, and are the same species, and generally, this flock will migrate, much like birds. [The second part is a headcanon- the first is retrieved from the Inheritance Cycle.]

Dragonshit: Term- Basically, in full honesty and simplicity, it's yakshit or cowshit, any of those means of language, but for dragons.

Scale-folk:Term- What dragons will call members of a dragon group who are generally considered together, belonging, or as friends. Similar to how humans will define 'town-folk' or 'common-folk'.

Mirit: One hundred seconds. While dragons do refer to human time measurement in a grander scale or task, or the time of day, when they are in formal matters, or are completing smaller tasks, drawing comparisons, or anything of the like, they will use 'mirits' to count.

Mirite: A dragon whose job is to count mirits in Arena Battles, or another formal matter. They are often chosen for being old, disabled, mentally stunted, or just unappealing or useless in their species and life. Mirites are often despised for their 'low-class life' and teased by the crowd.

Champions: In many Dragon Nests under the NightFuria Legion, the King or Queen (the alpha) of the Nest will have a Champion; a dragon who ranks above all the others, usually combining their ability to lead, fight, defend, look, and talk. Because of this, most Champion dragons are dangerous species who may be the only one of their species within that nest (usually as a precaution for the Champion, to make sure he or she didn't get challenged for their place- see more in Crulling.). A Champion can be replaced through a challenger winning a duel, or death, whether it be from old age, sickness, etcetera- or, if they are maimed beyond fighting capability, or rendered unable to fly.

Crulling: The process of when a new Champion dragon will seek out and defeat, maim, or kill other members of its species in its nest in order to protect its status as the Champion. The word may have originated from the similar term of 'culling'.

Brute: A dragon in a (Red, Green, Blue, or Purple) Death's Nest, ranked as one of the following three by its skill, achievements, and popularity among the nest and determined by the ruler of the nest- (ascending order) Warrior, Master, and Elite- that is charged to kill and destroy any trespassers that enter the nest territory. Often, these Brutes will travel in small groups of the same skill. Facing an attack from a Brute is almost always fatal.

NightFuria Palace: Location- The dragon-made (as far as the elders know) palace that used to be exclusive to Night Furies, but is now open to all species, and holds the Royal Family, the Alpha (if he is present) and the Royal Guard. [More information can/will be found in-story.]

Amethyst Mountain: Location- The mountain that serves as a home for a large quantity of dragons, of every and all species. [More information can/will be found in-story. Minimal information to avoid spoilers.]

Feather-brain: Phrase- A dumb dragon; a moron, unintelligent.

Sxrix: Term- A dragon cuss word, often considered the most insulting and explicit of them all. However, it is actually considered a historical factor, too, for it ties in with the legend of the Twilight Tower, and the zombie-like dragons that rise from the graves there on the sixth blood moon.

Cripple-by-body: Phrase- A crippled dragon that has lost a limb, or has a physical (visual) deformity.
