Day 33

Hello, Eragon here.

I got some drafts from Historia, it's quite interesting. History is really something…

How to phrase it ?

…

Yeah, interesting ? Special ? I don't know, it's great.

I may post the drafts tomorow, or not, it will depends on what Historia say about it.

I also realized that for some that don't know dragon culture we have some interesting things about our names, that can explain why Historia has literall the word history in her name.

In our culture we don't get our name until we have a purpose, and if our purpose change we can change our name. Or keep it, it's a choice.

As we aren't really born, but at mission control they are dragons. So they educated us with this culture.

But as they make us, they also give us a purpose imediatly. And so we are « born » with a purpose and with a name.

And for those that didn't read it before, we are not born from the dragons at mission control. We are made, from some of their cells, in some sort of bath.

So in the case of Historia, she was made exactly for one purpose. To record the history, and document it. That's why her name is this one.

For me, you need to understand the meaning of some names for dragons. Eragon is the name of the first dragon traveler and the name of the first planet guard. So my job is to guard something, this capsule.

Of course, because most dragons change names in their life there have been a lot of Eragon in the past. But most of them where travelers or guards of some sort.

A dragon's name can have a simple meaning, like Historia's. Or a deep meaning related to something not visible, or not sensible to any other creature than the dragon that wear the name.

All of that to say. Historia is a good name for someone that record history. And even if she stops to record it, and someone else do it, this new person will probably still have the same name. Becaus their purpose will be the same.

There are reason of why a dragon chose, change, or keep it's name, but I will not explain them in this log.

I'm only explaining enough for those that consult the log to understand who we are, what we do and why we do it.

Anyway… Outside of what I got from Historia, no message from mission control.

Historia is not really working at mission control anyway, she just have access to mission control. That mean that she have access to more data to work.

If I continue to speak about that I will never finish this log. Let's stop here for today.

See you soon.

Eragon out.
