A vial of dragon's blood.
Dragon's blood was the body fluid running through the veins of dragons. It was pearlescent in color, and possessed fantastic properties when consumed by other races. Drinking dragon's blood was purported to grant the imbiber with unnaturally long life, provide him with greater strength and speed and intelligence, and grant him exceptional resistant to extreme temperatures. It also allegedly cured blindness, allowed him to go great lengths of time without food or water and give him the ability to speak the languages of animals. Dragon's blood was extremely difficult to acquire.
A Butterfly's Tale[]
At one point, the King of Torlynn made a deal with Forever the dragon to provide him all the gold in the kingdom in exchange for a single vial of the dragon's own blood. Some time later, Forever provided Christabel Miller with a vial of the blood in exchange for the location of the sunken treasure of the Mermaid's Bliss. Christabel consumed a single drop before turning the vial over to King Papillon, who consumed it immediately. Whatever effects it might have had on him were cut short when he was hit by arrows and sent plummeting from a tower window to his untimely and messy demise.
Christabel, who became Minister of Science in Torlynn Castle, was affected much more significantly. After she began to feel ill, she suspected the dragon's blood was responsible. Christabel was believed to have died, and was buried, though in fact she was undergoing a metamorphosis and eventually emerged from her grave as a living terragon.
The Curse of the Fate Shifter[]
Four briefly considered dragon's blood as the possible reason for Rouge's strange behavior, later discovering that her newfound physical prowess was due to being infested with a parasitic zom.
Notes[]
Four once speculated that Captain Peg-Face must have been similarly affected by the dragon's blood during his battle with Forever some one hundred and eleven years previously. Whatever effect Forever bleeding all over the pirate captain may have had, the point is largely moot since he was eaten shortly thereafter.
