    I want it to be a European one since they look 10x better but since the author is Chinese I'm going to assume its a Chinese one.

    Since the author has already described the black dragon as having wings, this is clearly a European-type dragon! Chinese dragons are very, very rarely depicted with wings. Also, Chinese dragons are water-element creatures, whereas these dragons (incl. the Velocidragon) seem to be fire-breathers!

    Immediately, all of the children calmed down and in a very orderly fashion, lined up into three groups.

    I have to object with you stating that European dragons look "10x better." Everyone knows Chinese dragons look better, although it's not by 10x but more like 3.5x-4x or so. Studies have proven this, so you should check your facts better next time.

    Truthfully I don't care about those facts, It's my own biased opinion and while reading I'm going to be imaging these dragons as such. I don't mean to be rude with what I just said but people have different opinions. Anyways I love you for translating Kung Fu, hows the healing coming along?

    I'm kidding, man, there are no such facts. Heihei. Healing is ok. Only a couple more weeks and I can start moving my wrist again. Slowly but surely...

    LOL...
    That was a good one!
    I also often quote non-existent 'studies' and 'quotes' to support my own biased opinions...
    ... and it's more fun to do it with a straight face in front of gullible gatherings. LOL...


    BTW...
    ( it's even more fun to mix in actual written or published articles )
    Do you repeat the stories about Asians being more intelligent than other races?
    Do you quote articles like this one? ... I get a kick out of them. LOL...

    But just at that moment, halfway through the childs words, Hillman, who had been lookingly slightly downwards as he collected his thoughts, suddenly felt a strange feeling.

    I never do that, to support my arguments with non existent studies and facts. Since my university days I have been taught to cite relevant articles and studies.

    I'm not an English native speaker so maybe I'm wrong but I find it weird if the black dragon is like the dragons in harry potter story but it can coils ... I mean don't you need more than one loop on top of each other to call it a coil ... I just can't imagine that kind of dragon can coil it's body

    Western dragons don't necessarily conform to such rigid forms as Chinese dragons. With long enough of a tail or various anatomical features, I think it wouldn't have a problem coiling.

    maybe you're right ... I mean to coil you need bones and body structure like a snake ... but maybe that kind of dragon can coil using its tail or maybe it has flexible bones like snake ...

    Doesn't the title refer to the Ouroboros when it mentions coiled dragon? And isn't a dragon with a snakes body not a dragon but a ...one of those, almost a dragon but still not quite there yet evolved snake?
