that kinda points that blue riders can be hetero or bi- then doesn't it?
so here's an imponderable. if greens are rendered sterile by chewing firestone, how did the dragons ever get past the first generation?
reading dragonsdawn, ALL the riders tried giving their dragons firestone, but the golds couldn't produce flame. yet fire-lizards of all colors can chew firestone and produce flame, as well as both gold and green fire-lizards produce eggs. now its possible this is an inconsistency, or at the least an unwritten thing Anne put in when she made the dragons genetically engineered, that the greens were encoded to be sterile, and the golds could not fight in the traditional method, and somehow the dragonriders over the centuries made it into an adage, legend, what have you, that firestone is what sterilizes greens, and also why golds could NEVER chew it. for the propogation of the species. any thoughts opinions or otherwise? |
