But I was literally started thinking in my head that I should write because I haven't written for a long time. I've written, you know, poetry off and on. And to create a fiction based on actual people, and to create and make these characters, because I had dragons, so maybe I could still continue with the dragons, and make these three friends, the three dragons, and what each one brings in.
And it's all based on a drawing I had made. And in that drawing, there's a tree that represents one of them. And the first thought when we look at tree, it reminds us of, you know, sturdiness, strength, root, earthbound, whatever, all those things.
And then I just realized, actually, the tree to me, because I started thinking about this person's character, the tree was purity. Purity as in, you know, when somebody is pure of heart, and the tree, which has been there for a long time, it is seen with lots of different eyes, but there's also a bit of a purity in it, because it's unbiased, it's just there, and it's always standing strong. And to stand strong, and we think about knights, and we think about, you know, all those kind of things, the old cowboys or whatever, you know, it's that kind of purity, I feel that the tree had.
And then the other one was represented by a skull. And I'm like, okay, the skull, everybody thinks of as, you know, something that is, you know, either decaying, you know, and because of my artwork that I've been thinking recently, decay, which is not decay, but rebirth. And so to me, the skull became, and the skull usually is also seen by many people as a rebirth, the regeneration, coming back.
And then I have the other one, the third symbol, which is almost like sometimes looked at as a, the third symbol was more like, it can be, you know, because it's a raven. So raven is looked at with different views. And I looked at the way the raven's wings are spread out.
It is a protection, a protective. So even though the tree, a lot of times we think of tree as a nurturing, Mother Earth, but I'm thinking of the raven more because it's going with the character. And it is in flight, it's a shapeshifter.
