I See
Dragons and sprites inhabit the upper reaches of Saturn, but the true guardians of the planet live deeper. To our minds they may appear as ghosts, for their skeletons are but a mixture of magnetic and electrical atoms, clothed in a blending of Saturn’s numerous gases. When these beings coalesce their powerful auroras shimmer and glow, creating a form of nourishment that feeds all the life forms on Saturn and its moons. So pure is this aurora, nothing is allowed to pollute the deeper reaches of Saturn. Creating pollution means instant banishment to the ice crusted rings of Saturn.

So that’s what the rings are — the outer reaches of hell
Hell or heaven if you are a dragon
I’m glad I’ve got no plans to emigrate to Saturn.
Humans at present are banned from Saturn, as the dragon lords believe we would pollute it, may be they are right. If we send one more satellite their way, I am worried they might turn upon us
Dear Michael,
If we had a similar penalty for pollution on Earth the planet would be vacant. Imaginative story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Very true Rochelle
Not a very welcoming place. Your imagination conjured up quite a picture, Michael 🙂
Thank you very much Linda,
Pollution of an essential natural resource should be almost unheard of. Who would be daft enough to pollute their oceans, land and atmosphere? Oh, hang on a minute…
I reckon your dwellers on Saturn have the right idea, Michael
Very true Penny, I do wonder how we can remove all the pollutants in the ocean.
Like how the creatures exist are pure electromagnetic energy, as useful form or else they may freeze on Saturn. a great pice of SC Fi.
Thank you James, I really appreciate your comment
I like your imaginative concept of the being at the top of the food chain. I just read something the other day about all that exists being made of vibrations, which means every thing is sentient. I like the idea of your energy beasts that appear as ghosts.
I was so pleased to read your feedback, thank you
Wow. Such an imaginative take on the prompt. So many ideas interwoven here. Great title too.
What a lovely comment, thank you Margaret
The dragon lords are spot on – humans would ruin the place.
Thank you Jilly, the dragon lords are right to be concerned about us humans, we still need to learn a lot about waste management
I always knew something benevolent lived there in these giant gas planets. Those dragons can’t be the only ones.
There are so many differing species living on the gas giants, but most are so different to humanity it is difficult to describe them.
What a different place our planet would be without pollution. I wonder what Saturn makes of us.
Hi Keith, the dragons on Saturn I believe are debating at this moment what to do about humanities polluting habits
so that’s the secret of the rings
It seems that I have let the cat out of the bag.
Great world building. I liked the tie in with ghosts.
Good to hear from you Tannille
