Kale and her dragons pay a visit on day three

Today is day three of the CSFF blog tour highlighting DragonLight, the last book in the DragonKeeper series by Donita K. Paul.

Today’s first guest is Kale, Dragon Keeper and Light Wizard

FOI: What does it mean to be a Dragon Keeper?

Kale: Any dragon would laugh at the thought of being “kept.” They dislike being patronized. Being a dragon keeper means I have a special connection with dragons, or rather, they have a special connection with me. I can communicate with them, even if I am not bonded to them.

FOI: How long to dragons live?

Kale: I have never seen a dragon die of old age.

FOI: How do you take care of a dragon?

Kale: I feed them. And feed them. The smaller ones are easier to satisfy because they often fend for themselves. Our castle has been eradicated of druddums, flatrats, and drummer bugs. I also settle differences between them. I live with hundreds of dragons, which means there are hundreds of opinions. Mostly I just love them. Dragons need to feel loved. My job is very rewarding.

FOI: How many types of dragons are there?

Kale: There are many types of dragons: major dragons, riding dragons, meech dragons, healing dragons, light dragons, fix-it dragons… I live with hundreds, and I am still discovering more categories.

FOI: You’re a Light Wizard too? What does that mean?

Kale: Being a wizard means I have learned, or am still learning, to use the principles of nature Wulder has set in place. Being a light wizard means I have a special talent for manipulating the principles of light.

FOI: Anything else you’d like to say?

Kale:I would like to encourage young ladies to choose wisely when selecting a life long mate. Bardon helps me in so many ways, but the strongest of his virtues is his heart to please Wulder. And the second part of that is to realize that once married, your chief aim would be to complement your husband, serving, supporting, and balancing his personality.

Now for some new guests.

A few questions for some of Kale’s dragons, interpreted by Kale

FOI-Celisse: What’s it like to be a riding dragon?

Celisse: “I enjoy being a riding dragon. I have been around people all my life. I would be lonely If I didn’t have a bond with Kale.”

FOI-Gymm: Is it hard to be a healing dragon?

Gymm: “No. It is my nature.”

FOI-Dibl: What’s it like to live in a moonbeam cape with so many other dragons?

Dibl: “It’s not all that bad. Ardeo glows at night, which can be annoying. Metta sometimes snores, but she’ll deny that up and down. The worst is when I have a party at night and they’re all telling me to be quiet.” Kale: You party at night?

FOI-Filia: You’re a smart dragon and like to learn new things. What is your favorite thing to learn?

Filia: “My favorite subject is astrochemistry.”

FOI-Metta: What is your favorite type of song to sing? How do you learn new songs?

Metta: “I love rollicking folk songs, like ‘Chugaroon, the Sailor’s Tune.’ I pick up songs from everyone I meet. I can hear them in their heads. Kale doesn’t let me keep all of them though, and Librettowit has urged me to be more discriminating.”

A big thank you to Donita K. Paul, Sir Bardon, Kale and her dragons for taking the time out of their busy schedules to stop by Figment of Imagination this week. Thank You!!
