Was there a Dragon in Changes?

<< < (2/11) > >>

groinkick:
Maybe...  But there was also the weight of the spell about to me used, which was an incredible amount of power.  Not to mention it was the center of power for the Red Court, and a bunch of heavy hitters were there.

Mr. Death:
You'd think a dragon would've woken up and noticed the apocalyptic battle happening right over its head or the massive spell that went off.

Rasins:
We also know that CI has been a nexus for power for at least 1000 years.  I got the impression that the Ley Line Harry used wasn't the only one there.

On the other hand, what would be a better place for a Dragon to sleep than on a wellspring of magic (rather than BEING the wellspring of that magic).

OxfordComma:
These were the parts that jumped out at me:

"...and the one beneath us was an enormous current of raw earth magic...I was immediately overwhelmed with a rush of images and alien sensations, contacting a power so intense and coherent that it nearly had its own awareness.  In a single moment, I saw the ponderous dance of continents clashing against one another to form mountains, felt the slow sleepiness of the earth, its dreaming shivers felt as disasters by the ephemeral things that lived upon it's skin...gold and silver flowing hot in rivers...  I was a frail wisp of mortality beside that energy that could, quite literally, have moved mountains, leveled cities, shifted the course of rivers, and stirred oceans in their beds."   

Just sounded very much like a Dragon's job description to me.   Or I could have fallen for another of Master Jim's red herrings LOL  ;D

raidem:
I've guessed that the warehouse that the Red Court stored their sacrificial gear and athame at was a location of a prior Dragon's stash.  Red's used it to help preserve magical gear etc.  I further WAG'd that the Red's tripped a Dragon's death curse in using the New Mexico location and that such a curse played a minute role against them in CI battle.

There is a WOJ about Dragon's and death curses for those that rob from their hoard's.  Though same woj mentions that nobody has stolen from siriothrax horde.

--- Quote ---1) What ever happened to Siriothrax's hoard? Did any of the magical powerups in the series we've seen so far originate there?
1) Heh, it's still right where it was. NO ONE wants to pick up anything from a Dragon's hoard. Talk about Death Curses...
--- End quote ---

So, I think somewhere the Red Court crossed a Dragon, and tripped up on it's Death Curse.
Regarding your supposition that the alien awareness may be similar to a Dragon, maybe.  It's more likely that it is similar to Demonreach in that there may be a genus loci at that spot, one sleeping.
