Interview With Ddraig (Patreon)

Boondoggle asks: Dear Ddraig, there have been theories that you and Albion are from another world entirely seperate from the human and other mythological variants, and also that it may have been destroyed during your eternal battle.

Is this true, and if so can you provide details on it's uniqueness and similarities?

Ddraig says: There is no where or when of my origin.

Imagine the first second of Creation - now realize the impossibility of what came before. A time before events. A singularity where Paradox and Reality were one, where Magic and Time were one, where Domination and Supremacy were one. Came eventuality anon entropy, and all things separated as static values fathomed direction and become the vectors of the heavens. The inevitability of causality. And here I have given thee the secret to divinity. But I digress. With the primeval binary broken, evermore came the war. For neither can be Dominant while the other is Supreme.

Mand'alor asks: My lord Ddraig

Great Welsh Dragon, crimson sovereign of Cymru, Lord of Domination; of all who have loved and breathed beneath the vault of earth and sky, thou hast borne the might of ages. Among the pantheons of men, do any stand thine equal? Speak, and let me set before thee the roll of thrones, that thy judgment may weigh them.

Ddraig: The limitations of the mortal mind.

Belief and Will are synonymous with Reality in the Immortal Place. How then could one be the Lord of Domination if he sees in another an equal? Why then would the Heavens fear the name Ddraig?

Gabriel Herrol asks: Dear Ddraig, I was wondering what was the more difficult for you, collaborate with Albion long enough to fix the Shinto Afterlife or admit that you made a mistake in slaying Izanami?

Ddraig says: You think it a mistake? That Albion and I felled that rot riddled Primordial? The Scaled Emperors do no suffer challenge: pride is most eminent to Wyrmkind. Know that we gifted the knotted skeins of dimensions to Amaterasu out of fondness for this world. We would not see it destroyed so soon. It was act not born from guilt, but of magnanimity.

misteranonoma asks: Lord of Domination, this mere mortal has question if you are willing to answer. You have bonded to many human hosts, has there been one you viewed highly of and enjoyed their company? or Perhaps the opposite if that is possible?

Ddraig says: The bulk of those who have borne my prison have done naught but earn my contempt. But yes, there are a few whose live I enjoyed witnessing. I hold great fondness for Issei's predecessor. I count him as amongst the greatest of those who have shared my seige of Red Dragon Emperor. A simple farm boy who was born in what was then the Kingdom of Sardinia. Even with my power he never grew beyond being a minor mage who could not even achieve Balance Breaker. But he had the ambition and ruthlessness of true Dragon.

It was he who moved those powers behind the fractured states that would eventually become unified Kingdom of Italy. I took great relish in counseling his cunning and cruelty to dominate his opponents and push them to numerous defeat. He dealt many great blows to the Catholic Church in particular. With the aid of his petty magic, he lived a remarkable and, later, comfortable 137 years.

Most of those who bore Boosted Gear drowned themselves in my power. He was one too few who drowned himself in my wisdom.

SplooshMerister asks: Dear Ddraig, You have been around for a long time and know many things, is there anything that you can tell us about hell and possibly Lord Ichigo that you may glean from your unique Perspective?

Ddraig says: Ah, the youngest of the Sovereign Horrors. A remarkable mutation of the human soul now turned Demon true. I sense the latent blood of the one called the Soul King in him, the same divine who now so mightily holds the warp and weft Albion and I forged long ago. How odd that of the many consequences of our slaying of Izanami one would be eventual birth of a Satan? Destiny is a curious thing. There is much to him, and much more I see in his future. Perhaps I shall play a part in said future. Perhaps not. But that is the game of the Infinite Ouroboros and none save for the Illusion of Dreams can truly know where that Path leads.

As for the First Flame, I shall repeat what little that has already been said. It is outside of reality while simultaneously touching all of it. It is beyond reason and logic and your mortal words lack the breadth to express more.

Velkra7 asks: Welsh Emperor Ddraig, how did you come to bear the Lordship of Domination; was it an authority forged by your own will or something intrinsic to your very nature? You dismiss the spirits of the fourth dimension as false gods, for they are not truly eternal. But tell us, did you ever seek to apotheosize yourself and be counted amongst the divine?

Ddraig says: I am immortal. I am powerful. What need have I of Thrones? I am the Lord of Domination, and my wings unfurled cast a shadow on even Time itself. Shall I speak a secret? Shall I say the impossible? Shall I profess the Truth? Mortal, know this: like all else, the Hour will come when Eternity too shall end. So sayeth Ddraig, the Emperor in Red.

Veteran Ahosei asks: Dear Welsh Dragon, What is going on between you and Tiamat? We've heard the story from the Chaos Karma Dragon herself, but we'd like to hear the story from your perspective.

Center_of_ShubNiggurath asks: Mighty Dragon, what is your relationship with Tiamat?

Ddraig says: Vile wretch! Accursed wretch!

Say! What mother fills the hearts and veins of her own children with venom and hate?! What mother puts madness and rage in their minds?! What mother fills her own womb with war?!

By lone chance I came across her, broken and piteous daughter! Callously discarded from the battlefield! And I healed her! I cared for her! And I taught her of reason and understanding! I showed her the colors of the Earth and hues of the Sky and to see in them the beauty of what is and what could be! I gave her love and compassion and all things that should have been guaranteed to her by her own mother! And they dared to bring their war to our nest!? They dared to bring fire to our eggs!?

That day I tore constellations from the sky and taught the world that even death may die! Fie! My teeth to her neck!

Issei says: ...uhh... I don't think Ddraig wants to talk anymore...

Oh hang on, Kaichou's super hot, big boobed, shortstack Onee-sama gave me cards... where did I put them? Oh! Here they are!

Uhh, let's see.

"Thank you everyone for your questions, we greatly appreciate your participation in helping promote some the more famous citizens of our Empire-"

Hold up, is Ddraig actually citizen of the Devil Empire? Wait, am I citizen? Oh no, does that mean I have to pay taxes? I need to ask that Satan guy next time I see him! Oh, sorry! The cards! Where was I?

"- famous citizens of our Empire and helping spread our culture and history to such a wide audience. Please enjoy the all you can eat buffet and open bar we have prepared for you. Berry-Berry has asked me to remind you all not to try and pet his big wolf no matter how cuddly cute she looks because you will probably, very likely, almost definitely, be savagely eaten. Apologies to evryone who's questions we could not get to. Even sealed Dragons have a busy schedule! Magical Levia-tan out! Be sure to strike a pose with a peace sign at your right eye an-"

Oh wait, I'm not supposed to read last part. Anyways, thanks again everyone! Bye!
