Written for: DarkYaten's Lead.
Lead was one of the first hatchlings of the Clan born into the Viridian Labyrinth, one of the first hatchlings to be born in the aftermath of Sulmara’s attack. As such, he was one of the new dragons, one of those who did not have any memory or scar to remind them of the darker days where Sulmara caused so much destruction and discord in the Clan.
However, growing up watching the rest of his Clanmates recovering from the attack was enough to hint to him how devastating Sulmara’s attack had been. Lishana never stopped thinking about the very day her mate left her side forever, and she was never the same after that. Triad, one of their strongest warriors, was gravely wounded in the battle, and the healers barely managed to save him.
Lead saw their scars, faint on healing scales but definitely still there. He saw how they struggled to cope with the loss of loved ones, with the last memories still haunting their minds. He also heard stories from other hatchlings older than he was, and from old friends of his Clanmates. He knew that however horrifying he imagined Sulmara as, she was a lot worse than that.
He knew Sulmara was already gone, not to be seen again. In this new, lush and green home, they were safe from the trickery and wrath of Sulmara. But for how long? And he also knew that even though Sulmara was gone, the effects of her presence and actions still showed strongly on the Clan. And he did not like it.

“Going for extra training again, Lead?” His good friend, Spectre, called as he was just heading to the training grounds. Lead nodded.
Grinning, Spectre walked towards him, Vidre following close after. Spectre patted him on the shoulder in a friendly gesture, “Always working so hard. Alright, we’ll have dinner together another day.”
Lead nodded. “You got it!” With a flurry of wings, he flew out of the camp.
Only a few dragons knew him well enough to know why he was so bent on being a good warrior, the best warrior, the best of the era. He did not want dragons like Sulmara to destroy this peace and tranquillity his Clan has struggled so hard to build. He did not want their wounds to hurt any more and wanted to try his best to heal the scars that time had left upon them.
He was Lead, and he was going to be the best warrior of the era.
