==Intro==
Today three dragons had approached me, asking me about a local legend. It seemed like they really wanted some information, and they weren't from around here. From my observation I concluded that they were probably fellow cryptid hunters. But their appearances could make them cryptids as well. One was a rather odd looking NightWing with bright yellow eyes. The second was a large SkyWing dragonet, whose wings were yellow with odd markings. Her wings were folded most of the time, so I couldn't get a good look. The last one seemed to be an extremely dull dark scaled RainWing, but the brighter scales gave him a mystical vibe.
"Follow me. I'll show you all the evidence I have gathered over the past few years", I excitedly said to my visitors leading them to a room, its walls filled with notes, photos, maps and red thread. "Many doubt the realness of this monster, but I am a hundred percent sure she is real!"
"Before you introduce us to said monster we want to introduce ourselves", the NightWing said. "I'm called Dusty. The spunky SkyWing is Astra, and the tiny gnome is Phantom." "Bonobo", I introduced myself back, shaking Dusty's talon. "And this -" I picked out a photograph. "- is The Monster of Black Lake."

Main Characteristics	Sail; Fast swimmer; Long neck and tail
==Appearance==
"So you assume there is two of them?", Dusty asked sceptically.
"There is a reason why I do it", I explained. "According to some witnesses Blackie is very large, thrice their own size, but others described her to be small, like a dragonet."
"You do know that dragons are different sizes themselves. Maybe also it was the water that made it seem like that. Reflection and stuff." I had ignored that part, because I didn't want to waste time arguing. 
I grabbed the best images I had, spreading them out on the table. The images showed that Blackie had more of a serpentine neck, her body often varying between being bulky and being thin like the neck. Those inconsistencies were also reason to believe that there were two Blackie's. 
"More dragons had reported seeing her in the dark, than during the day. During the daytime her shadow was visibile sometimes, bug this only gave us an idea about her body shape. The long powerful tail must be to swim easier." "Like a SeaWing", Dusty threw in. I continued to explain: "Blackie's scales are described to be dark blue, reflecting light like the ocean. Imagine the silent ocean and then the sun shining on it. That's sorta what it looks like. Of course she is assumed to have fins."
"You mean, they don't know if she does have fins?", Phantom asked.
"Some said they saw fins, others don't remember or said they didn't see any. Maybe only one of the Blackie's has them", I told the dragonet. "Nobody is sure if they have wings. They have been seen jumping out of the lake just a few times, but flying? No. Never. That's why many doubt these are dragons."
"You do know sea serpents exist?" "They don't live in lakes, buddy."
==Personality==
"The monster really seems to avoid other dragons as if they didn't wish to be discovered!" "Maybe they're just shy?" "Blackie is a majestic being, she is not shy! Anyway, it seems like Blackie also tends to be aggressive, when other dragons just can't stop pestering her. Look what she had done." 
I showed my visitors multiple images. Some show gruesome injuries, others broken boats, trees, and tents. "Of course, she didn't do it for no reason. Some of those dragons admitted having taunted our cryptid. Throwing things into the water for example. Blackie seems to dislike when the lake gets dirty. Maybe she is like the spirit of it!"
"Yes, maybe you should stop bothering this poor creature."
"It's for science! Anyway..."
==Abilities==
"Blackie's abilities are like no other. She seems to be able to cause enormous waves, and even affect the clouds in the sky."
"Where did you get that from? You know that's not how ra—"
"Out technology can tell when it will rain. We had a terrible drought, and the lake started to evaporate. If it would've continued it might have revealed Blackie - no rain was supposed to come for the next entire moon cycle - but then the sky became dark, and water fell from the skies. I tell you, it's Blackie' work!" In this situation I didn't have much more to show but the weather forecast of that solar cycle, which my guests might not have found all that impressive. The small RainWing just asked how weather forecasts worked, and I explained.
"So is Blackie like the mistress over water? Like isn't rain also water?", the SkyWing suggested. A brilliant conclusion. After all this was a lake spirit, so having the ability to control water wasn't impossible.

==Intro==
You probably have heard of various legends. There's one in particular. It's fairly well known here on Pretamar. Maybe some Pyrrhians and Pantalans know about it too. After all it's fairly well known outside of this area. But legends tend to be a exaggeration of reality. Today I will tell you what is behind this legend. This is the story about the true Monster of Black Lake.
If you listened to some extremely obsessed cryptic hunters they would tell you that there is two or even more Blackies and they were right. Those called Blackie were multiple dragons. In fact they were all family. But I only know one of them well. The youngest of them, the child. Her name is Maris.
==🌊 Appearance 🌊==
First of all Maris is not a new kind of sea serpent, nor a dinosaur, but rather a typical SeaWing. She does have a quite long neck, which she seemed to have inherited from her mother, whose neck was even much longer. Maris is pretty muscular, and her tail short but powerful. I am unsure how old she was when we last met, but at that time she was slightly taller than me. Pretty sure she was still a dragonet, but she looked older than that. Her ears are small, and she has long tendrils beneath her jaw.
The nickname Blackie is rather funny, because Maris' scales aren't all that dark. Only the backscales are, but even then clearly a saturated blue, each scale having darker blue tips. What actually is near black are her curved blue horns, which aren't very long and quite thin, and her claws. Also the find on her back are of a dark blue shade. She has eye shaped markings on the webbing though those markings may not be immediately noticeable. Her main scales are of the colour I imagined the ocean to be. A strong blue, which leans a little to green, but just a tiny bit. Her stomach is slightly lighter and greener, but also only a small bit. In comparison to the dorsal fins, those on her chest are light in colour like her glow spots. Those are quadrangles, but not perfect squares, and the way they're arranged was rather messy. Maris' eyes are dark blue. On her neck scales are markings that look like light was reflecting off them, but during the night you also can see this. One scar is located on the left half of her face, going through the mouth. Her tailfin is ripped, and she has another scar on her left hindleg. 
==🌊 Personality 🌊==
Admittedly her appearance can give you a rather bad impression, but Maris is actually a very kind dragon even if she always stays far away from others as her mother had always told her to. Quite obedient Maris usually doesn't do anything that would upset her mother. Most of the time she is thinking about food, and sometimes she may be too focused on a prey, so she may get lost while following it. Not sure how to properly word it (god, don't let her see this), but you could say Maris isn't the smartest, not the most cautious. I know she is strong for a dragonet, but sometimes she believes she is much stronger than she actually is, and she also tends to overestimate her own mental capabilities. 
==🌊 Abilities 🌊==
Aside from having regular SeaWing abilities, like breathing underwater, night vision, echolocation, bioluminescence, and whatnot, Maris just like her mother and grandmother possesses an amazing ability. We decided to call it Ocean's Call. Yes, probably a cheesy name. Let me explain it though.
Over generations one certain SeaWing family had passed down an ability, which would be best described as being able to control the ocean. Of course, it doesn't just stop at the ocean. Their ability could affect any water. Even rain. Maris explained to me that there is always a little water around us, but we don't see it. With Ocean's Call she could feel its presence like it was another limb of hers. Unlike her mother though she is only able to control large bodies of water and only when she touches the liquid.

==🌊 Trivia 🌊==
* Maris means "of the sea", which is sorta ironic because she had never been to the ocean.
* She loves to eat.
