Draconity

My beginnings in the nonhuman communityI always felt different from other people. Not in the "I'm so different, look at me" sense. Not in the neurodiversity sense. More so that I felt like a different species as the others. Sure, many kids roleplay as animals when they play. But the point is: I never saw it as roleplay. I was genuinely expressing myself as something else. But the real change happened when I was somewhere around 16 or 17 years old. I have moved to my human father, out of the abusive household of my human mother. It was the first time I could really be myself, finally having the time and opportunities to look into myself. Suddenly, I started to feel wings on my back, mostly when going home while listening to music. They would move to the beat, dancing with the melodies. Later followed a tail, then horns. I never told anyone, as some found my behavior I had already developed quite disturbing when I wasn't careful and masking my real self. I can't blame them. I still find it weird, or maybe that's my society-trained, human brain is thinking.
Then, the Covid pandemic came, which lasted a few years and changed the lives of many; like my own. It was the second bigger lockdown, and I spent my forced free time at my grandmother's house, a few days after New year's eve in 2021. I was laying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep, so I scrolled through my phone. I was looking at dragon pictures as always, especially posts of "The Legend of Spyro"; a video game trilogy released on consoles and handhelds back in 2006-2008. It was my hyperfixation... no, more than that. I could feel my paws, claws, tail and more while watching and laying on the side. Then I thought about something:
"What if... I search for this feeling that I'm having? Maybe it is a mental condition, which can be treated?"
Then I did it. I opened my browser and searched for "Humans that feel like they are a dragon". The first result was a german wiki link about dragonkin. Curious, I read what it meant.
I was shocked. Literally shocked after finding out what dragonkin meant. I could have sworn I am the only human on earth thinking they are a dragon. I didn't know what to do the next few minutes. I just stared at my phone, in the middle of the night in bed, next to me my grandmother snoring and dozed off to the realm of dreams. I wanted to meet them. The "others" who were like me. I needed to find a way to contact them.
By the time, Discord, a messaging website and app became quite popular. In the next morning after my "awakening", I googled for dragonkin servers. I instantly found several, but I clicked on the first one again. It was Dragon's Cove, a fairly big server for such a niche community. I remember being so happy, so relieved after meeting more of my kind. I asked an annoyingly amount of questions, was so nervous yet thrilled talking to other dragons. I think it went several days like this. I joined another server; Draconic Sanctuary, which I called my home server for a few years. From there, my real journey began. A journey of Identity, knowledge and truthfulness. With the help of some dragons, especially their discussions of phantom limbs, shifts, past life memories and the like I gave the appearance of my dragonself a few last touches. Or... was it my true dragon self?
I finally found my people. Finally someone who understood me, with whom I could talk about my experiences. But one thing bothered me; they all had past lives, and even memories from those lives. I had... nothing. And my dragonself was different than theirs. It looked like a dragon similar to a video game character, not something from real life mythology. I felt embarrassed, like some troll who came to their server to make fun of their real experiences. I just wanted to fit in to a community, to people who had the same struggles and wishes like I had. Beings like me who I have found at long last. The next five years after my awakening were full of doubts and trying out different identities.One day, I sat down again. I begged my brain to give in, that everything would be fine if we stopped pretending I was something I'm not. I broke down every tiny aspect of me, wrote down which kinds of phantom limbs I felt, what behavior I had and compared those to the other identities I have took on over the years. I think i knew within what I really was, with a little push of the dragons dear to me. So my journey began again, but this time differently than in the last years. I want to be certain. I try to just tell people attributes about myself I am really certain about. I know I will not succeed in that, probably. But I'm trying anyway. I'm not afraid of letting others know what I don't know. I'm not scared of saying "I'm not sure" anymore.
Yes, I am a dragon. But it is very real to me. I couldn't explain to you why, I do not have memories of a past life. I just have my meditations and feelings. But this is how I look like on the inside, this is who I am. Dreki, a dragon trapped in a human shell.
Maybe it's a psychological phenomenon, maybe I'm "not ready" for any past life memories yet, maybe it's a secret third thing. But that doesn't matter. I know what I am now, or what I should be.
I know this journey isn't over by far, but I am confident for the future that awaits me. I just hope this time I will stay true to myself and others, with something more tangible than before. I am hopeful this is what or who I really am, and I won't mess it up again.(Edit March 2026): There is something else I've come to realize along the way. Through my love f my lives, my mate, I've begun to see my draconity a little differently. Talking with him, sharing experiences and thoughts made me consider something I had pushed aside for a very long time. That I maybe do have a past life. That there is something there, something real... I just cannot remember. Not yet, at least.
It doesn't feel like an answer, not a complete one. And oddly enough, that thought doesn't rouble me as much as it used to. I don't feel as incomplete anymore for not having a past life or memories of one. If they are any, then maybe one day they will come to me. And if they don't, then that's okay too.
Only time will tell.

Found familiy: How I met my dragon mother and other draconic friendsIn summer 2024, there was a discussion on a Discord server I am part of about some dragons from Europe who are gathering to meet up in Hanover, Germany. As a dragon who lives in Europe myself, I was eager to find this group and meet up with them. I joined the draconic server they have been making plans on, and shortly got accepted into their private group. I was the last who joined it because the finer plans and information about this meetup have been already made. It was fate that I have found them before I could no longer join them.
Weeks went by, and then there was the weekend that would change my perspective on the nonhuman community forever. Unlike the others, I couldn't stay for three days due to financial reasons, so I arrived one day later than everyone else. When I got out of the tram to the place where I would meet them, I saw a group of "humans" walking on the other side of the street. They looked odd, one had horns on. I knew it was them. I met them at the bakery they were heading to, and we all got to know each other. I told them who I was and got to learn the names of them: Amber, Orca, Aƫto (the one with the horns), Bela, Julian, Bluefire and Akir'Ischa. The last one, a tall person, said that my human body looks a lot like my (back then) dragonself. This statement got stuck in my head, until this day.
The weekend was wonderful, we got to know each other even more than what could have been with an online experience only. We were sad that we had to part again.After this gathering, we became good friends and chatted a lot online. Ideas for a new meetup spread, and so a special discord server for this matter was born. Just not for our group, but for all dragonkin in Europe. More dragons should get the chance to experience this journey of meeting others like them in meatspace. We were eager to meet up again, to talk in person and have amazing moments like we had the first time. We missed each other dearly. We offered new dragons on the server to come with us, and a few did.The next meetup was taking place in the Dutch province of limburg. A beautiful place with lots of nature. We were staying in little huts at an Europarcs, and honestly, it was the best thing ever. Sharing a little house for the weekend led to us strengthening our bond even more. What stayed in my head the most was one evening, where we all gathered at one hut, having food and drinks together, did a karaoke night and just had fun. I looked around, watched the others having deep and meaningful conversations, sharing their joy with each other. I have never seen such a dynamic before, such love for each other. We have truly become a wonderful group of draconic friends. It almost made me cry, out of happiness.
Again, the departure made our hearts rip. And again, our heads were full of new destinations we should visit as a group.
After this gathering, many smaller ones followed. Some more local and better accessible for some, with less dragons. Mini-meetups, so to speak. I met up with Bluefire and Akir'Ischa again, we had a great, but short day in the Netherlands. But something changed when I was home again. Sure, still the same sadness of returning to the human life, and missing the others and their joyful presence. But there was.. another feeling.Akir'Ischa and I have been texting a lot. More than I have texted with the others of our friend group. There was this feeling of something pulling me towards her. It wasn't a romantic nor sexual feeling, but it was more than just platonic liking. It was odd, as I have never felt this feeling before. I viewed her as a teacher, someone to look up to and learn from. Someone who I can lean on when I'm sad, get help when I needed the words of a wise dragon. But was she just a friend to me? Like the others? I value them a lot, but this was... different.
One day, we were texting privately, when she told me something. Something i have not considered yet. But when she did, it finally clicked.
She admitted that she had parental feelings towards me, that I remind her of the hatchlings she had in her past life as a dragon. She viewed me as her adopted daughter. Dragon-wise, soul-wise.That was it! I finally understood what this feeling was that I felt. I didn't know how to react to this revelation, and I didn't show too much of the feelings I was having after reading that.
Our relationship grew, I was calling her my mother more often as she did call me her daughter more and more. We told our friend group that we have found family in each other, and they were as happy and as surprised as we were. They were fascinated by the fact that because of our meetups, such a relationship has formed. That because of our little, random group, family has been found.
And which every new meetup, our mother-daughter bond strengthens.
But not just ours, the one of the whole dragon group does. And I can't wait for the next meetup, to see them all again. I miss them dearly, with every passing day, because being with them makes me feel less human, and more dragon.

Draconity facts: What I know about my world, my kind and me so farEven though there are many similarities to me and my world to the videogame trilogy called "The Legend of Spyro", some things I have experienced don't fit this media. I try to base most facts about my draconity on my experiences in the otherworld, which I access through meditation, bilocation and dreams. This is what I have seen so far:Unlike the video games, I do not absorb crystals and gems, but I have seen multiple instances where I bit into them and devoured them. They seem to be my main diet, I'm not sure yet if this applies to the rest of my subspecies (wind dragons) or if it's just a me thing.My species is much more feral in behavior than the dragons in TLoS. We play, vocal and behave a lot like earthen animals, but we are also capable of speech. I would call my species "semi-sapient".I have spoken to the ancestors, the spirits of deceased dragons, face to face multiple times. I don't think that happens in the games.The corruption, or the darker side of oneself, doesn't seem to be tied to purple dragons only. So far it feels like every dragon has it.Some dragons live in soceities, cities. Some live in nature and in caves. I myself prefer ruins as my lair. Bonus points if one is on a floating islandI can manipulate my element in different ways than just breathing it out of my maw or around me. I can channel it on specific body parts of mine and do different stuff with it. For example, if I direct my wind to my front paws, I can levitate objects with it.

When love found meLove was never something I went out of my way to search for. Sure, there have been periods when I was actively on the hunt for a mate. But it never led to anything serious. If anything, it was always this distant concept. Something that happened to others, something you hear about, something that sounds nice in theory but never really quite felt like it belonged to me. I was okay with connections in their simpler forms, like friendships and the bond I have with Akir'Ischa. That was enough. Or, at least, that's what I believed for a long time.And then... it changed. Quietly, gradually... But at the same time so quickly that I barely noticed. What we have didn't begin as anything extraordinary on the surface. Conversations in private (in which I'm not good at, as many people know) that stretched longer than expected. The silence between us when we would just be with the other felt comfortable instead of awkward. A sense of ease that settled in. Trust formed first. Later came familiarity. And then something deeper that I couldn't quite name yet. I didn't notice it directly. Or maybe I did, but I didn't allow myself to notice it. There was an interest in this dragon before, but it was nothing I paid too much attention to. But at some point I found myself thinking about him more often than I meant to, when his presence lingered even after conversations ended. When the idea of him being gone felt wrong. That was when I realized that something has become different.It was during the Draconic Summit 2026, an online convention for dragonkin, when I noticed that shift, one I couldn't ignore for much longer. Syrinax was holding a panel there and was talking about his experience of being a dragon. Hearing his voice and the way he talked about his draconity made it clear for me that I have developed feelings for him. I got out my way more and, most importantly, told my dragon mother about it. She already knew about the feelings Syrinax had for me, but kept quiet. She wasn't surprised about my feelings for him as much as I was. In a way, she bacame something like a bridge between us. I was still gathering the courage to fully express what I felt, Syrinax was doing the same in his own way. And somehow, she stood in the middle of it. She wasn't forcing us to say or do anything, but guiding us forward when we hesitated. He would talk to her, asking what he should say. How he should approach it. And I would do the same. It sounds almost surreal when I think back on this time. Like we were both circling the same truth, aware of it but unsure how to reach it exactly. I'm glad and forever grateful that she was there, helping us close that distance quietly.With her help and the courage that has been building up on both sides, we finally said it. To each other, not through my mother. We confessed what had been there all along. In this short time of falling in love with each other, and what we had lifetimes before. It was scary, but I also felt relief. From that moment on, everything changed. Hearing that he felt the same way... It's difficult to put into words what that moment meant to me. Happiness is not a big enough word to capture it, even though it was one of the happiest moments of my life. It was more than that. It felt like finding something I didn't know I had lost.There is something about this connection that feels different from others I have experienced before. It doesn't feel like an ordinary romantic relationship. It feels like beyond everything that one can come across. I'm starting to believe that some bonds don't begin here on earth. That not every connection is new, even if it appears that way. Being with him awakens feelings I cannot connect to specific memories. And yet, they feel very familiar. He gives me a sense of.. home. It's something I value deeply Something I don't take for granted, not even for a moment. Because connections like this are rare, even between dragons. So I carry it carefully, something that is worth protecting.I didn't go looking for love at that time, but it found me anyway.
