Dragon's Devotee
"Dragon's Devotee" in other words, a group of people that dedicate their lives to serve the dragon. "Long ago, humans lived under the protection of dragons. However, wars occurred between humans. Then a group of people, who wanted peace, emerged. They expressed their request to the dragon, and the dragon granted their plea for peace. In return for the humans' gratitude, some of them dedicated themselves to serving the dragons." "The dragon was very pleased to see peace restored among humanity. Then the dragon bestowed some of its spirit upon its loyal followers, who also gained abilities and a physical form resembling that of a dragon."

Wild
I was a wildman. At 23 yrs. old, I was spontaneous and reckless. A few years before this photo was taken, I got into a nasty bar fight after my first girlfriend broke up with me after 2 years. Most of the damage was done to myself by myself. I was out partying with my hip-hop crew at the time, Da Hillz Entertainment, to get my mind off the breakup. We started off a Traditions, a dive bar near St. John's University in Queens. We had a great night of drinking and smoking, and on are way back we decided to stop by a local Irish bar near Richmond Hill for more despite being completely hammered already. We ordered beer and went to the back of the bar where they had a pool table. There were some fellas in there kickin' it, and the vibe seemed right at the beginning. One of 'em said they were selling bud so I went into the bathroom with him to check it out (listen, weed was still very illegal back then and we weren't taking chances). So he pulls out this microscopic dime bag of dro and I'm instantly like, "Nah man, I'm good". As soon as we leave the bathroom, his boys were starting to argue with my peoples. Being the drunk idiot that I am, I walk right up to there dude to try to reason with him but they were all coked the fuck up. Before I know it, they started swingin' and I'm pretty sure I got hit with a pool stick because I had to get a couple staples in my head later at the hospital. But the fun didn't end there. After some fists were exchanged, my boys dragged me out of there as I was raving mad, promising to kill each of those fools. Outside the bar, I stupidly took my anger out on the front window with what had to be like a Samoan chop that shattered the window and left a deep cut in my left hand. I was bleeding profusely, but I didn't think the damage was too severe so we went back to my boy's crib. I took my bloody white hoodie off, along with my other crimsoned clothing, then hopped in the shower. After rinsing the blood off, I could tell this wasn't something that was gonna heal on its own so I had my boy drive me to the hospital. I waited in the trauma ward for 11 hours before finally getting stitched up. I had to wear a cast for months, plus shades to cover my black eye. I remember also suffering from really bad allergies and just looking like an absolute mess in class. I've had several similar incidences throughout my 20s, particularly involving excessive drinking. I was an impulsive character and a danger to myself. These aren't the fondest memories for me, but they were important lessons that helped me grow and mature. This photo symbolizes the wildness and spontaneity that characterized my persona.

Based on Serbian folk tradition, we can see that there was a widespread belief in dragons (ЗМАЈ), mythical creatures that are imagined differently in various places and occasions. Not to be confused with Ala or Aždaja, those were completely different beings. According to beliefs about appearance and some characteristics, we can divide them into three groups: dragons that identify with meteorites, dragon-men, and dragon-serpents. What they all have in common is that they are not evil beings, although there are exceptions, and they are not that rare. The appearance of the dragon was shaped by the popular imagination in different ways, connecting it with traditions and giving it certain attributes, so sometimes it's hard to even imagine what they looked like. Sometimes they change shape, sometimes they share common elements from all three mentioned groups, while sometimes they are talked about without any details at all. Yet we can list a few examples. In eastern Serbia, it was believed that the dragon was some kind of bird with a ram's head and a snake's tail which flies at night and lightens up the sky like a shooting star. There is also a belief that the dragon is born from a carp (fish), when it reaches forty years of age, because that's when it gets legs and wings. Sometimes, again, the dragon is imagined as an eagle fighting with Alas and Aždajas, which then creates stormy clouds and lightning. At last, a dragon can also have a human appearance. In eastern Serbia, certain people were believed to be dragons. They defend their village and region from the elements. For many figures from our folklore, it's been said that they were dragons or to have been born from a dragon and a fairy, or an ordinary human woman. It was believed that there are ordinary people who are dragons, and when disaster strikes, they die and seem to fall asleep, and from their bodies then a spirit (or a duplicate) comes out, which goes to fight with the thunderclouds. According to this belief, dragons could be both male and female. Likewise, it was believed that the dragon was stronger younger, it was even thought that the strongest dragon would be the newborn baby that hadn't even been nursed yet. It is clear from the whole description that the dragon from our folk mythology is a greatly anthropomorphized being, having the same characteristics as a human. He thinks and works like an ordinary man, he just has other certain characteristics, he can fly, he has enormous strength, he has the ability to shape-shift from one form to another (from a man he can become an eagle and vice versa; or he can leave the body in the form of a spirit and go fight with other demons) etc. To a large extent , the dragon represents our exceptionality, because of his uniqueness and differences in relation to the mythologies of other Slavic peoples.
