Amongst this sea of merchants and carnies was a modest little pavilion, furnished simply with a table and three chairs. A sign just past its threshold read: [i]Ice Wyrm Lore II. Come share your lore.[/i] [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/KXj7U8P.png[/img][nextcol]Hello! My name is Librarian Casey of Clan Azurenight. It’s a pleasure to meet you!

@Azurenight New dragons this year! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=39295596] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/392956/39295596_350.png[/img] [/url] Kenobi! Yes the blatant Star Wars fan dragon. She's one fo the teachers alongside her mate Skywalker. Studious vestments seem to work quite well in place of jedi robes. She might have bust her mate and Guardian out of beastclan slavery but shhh they don't talk about it. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=39808173] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/398082/39808173_350.png[/img] [/url] Aleksei looks like a criminal but he's just a miner. I bought him while looking for stained dragons and and ended up dressing him dark clothes and slapped the ice apparel on him to match. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=44153439] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/441535/44153439_350.png[/img] [/url] When you want a Cream/Fushcia dragon but you also want them to be Arcane to match and you get a Ice dragon by accident but too pretty to exalt. As such there's little I've decided for her but gosh she's pretty.

[center]@Azurenight I changed my name a while ago from fithandantilus to ahzidal! I was wondering where these threads went, then I realized I forget to tell you XD Onto the sharing! -------------- [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=37317641] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/373177/37317641_350.png[/img] [/url] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=37317641] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/373177/37317641p.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol][center][I]Mzinchaleft arrived once more at Casey's booth, sighing as he rested his blue feet on the cold, snowy ground. He seemed a bit miffed at the frosty substance.[/I] "Dear Eleven, I am not fond of this stuff. I live in the Floodplains, not Wintersfall…" [I]Guess he still finds it chilly, despite being an Ice dragon. He looked up at Casey with a small smile.[/I] "It's nice to see you again. My, it's been a while, hasn't it? I come bearing my own story for you this time - after all, I am a child of the ice." [I]He settled on carpeted square, curling his feet under him to warm them back up. Once he stilled, he opened his mouth and began his tale.[/I] "My hatchling days are lost to the haze of my memories, but I'm certain I lived a fairly average life growing up. Of course, I was blind - being blind in a tundra doesn't really change much anyway, though. Everything's bright and white, regardless of what it is. My story really began when I was taken in by the clan of Fellreach, if they can be called that. It's really more of a loose group of dragons lightly bound together by living in the same general area... I stumbled (literally) into a cavern off the main cave. It was there in the water that I found my Sight." [I]He paused, gesturing to his pale blue eyes. A black, almost tarry substance dripped from them, and from the scales down his neck.[/I] "I vaguely remember hitting my head on a rock in the cavern. Though I cannot recall how exactly it happened, I awakened shortly after with the gift of foresight. I wish I could speak of what the cave looked before I awoke, but alas, I was completely blind to it. The cave I woke in looked nothing like it had felt before I hit my head. Of course, such a gift to one not blessed by birth does not come without a price. The result is this tarry substance that flows from me, and the inability to truly control my Sight. I can will it to happen, but it also shows me things without me desiring to see." [I]Mzinchaleft catches a droplet of the black substance in a glowing claw, holding it aloft for Casey to see.[/I] "This... tar is my life. Liquefied and leaking from me at all times. The gift I was given will end up killing me. This is the ultimate price I will pay - my life, in exchange for the ability to change the future before it happens." [I]He drew in a long breath, and sighed. His face became forlorn as he whispered his next words.[/I] "And yet, I've found myself entwining myself with another dragon... What I vowed not to do, because my body will depart this world before I am ready to say farewell. The closest thing to a child I will ever have - Cielo." [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47894438] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/478945/47894438_350.png[/img] [/url] [I]Mzinchaleft conjured a picture of Cielo with a masterful array of ice crystals, glimmering in shades of blue like the dragon they were depicting.[/I] "Young to this world, and childish in the best of terms, his soul traveled here from a place far away from Sornieth. Campo del Cielo, that's what he declared himself to be when I found him." [I]The male closed his eyes, and if one looked closely, a small tear leaked from one eye.[/I] "I see myself in him, he reminds me of when I was younger. My wish for him is to not go seeking greater knowledge where it is too dangerous for dragons to tread. I dread the day I am destined to depart, and how I wish I could evade my end. I wish I had more time to spend with him..." [I]Mzinchaleft's soft voice cracked on his final sentence, betraying his great sorrow within. He dipped his head under one great wing, his form shaking silently as he ended his tale, leaving Casey to ponder all he had told her.[/I]

@Azurenight can I still enter the blurb contest?

@FelinaeFatale

Sure =)

@Azurenight Not sure how long it should be, but how about this: "Your lore really broke the ice! It gave me the chills, and I was just frozen in awe!" I'll also share two of my ice lore dragons with your Casey! First, this is Brume. All she wanted to do was be a good guardian and stay positive, but fate seems to be against her... She's not particularly good at what she wants to do. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42379281] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/423793/42379281_350.png[/img] [/url] Vitiligo lost her family when she was very young, and has no idea when she was born or where she came from. She had to fend for herself for as long as she can remember. She thinks that she's been cursed by her history. Her dull plumage might be evidence of this 'curse', but could also just be poor nutrition and circumstance. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=43548160] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/435482/43548160_350.png[/img] [/url]

@Azurenight and @Gula Mari is an Ice dragon, yeah? I don't have any new Ice dragons, but I still have Shira! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=26970812] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/269709/26970812_350.png[/img] [/url] I've shared her last year, I think, and maybe even the year before that. She is the creation of Arnskar, the clan smith, and Shira is essentially his daughter. Shira is a spirit contained within a blade, but she may manifest outside of it as well. Unlike others of her ilk, Shira does not require a host dragon to survive because she can gain energy from the heat around herself. Shira is a cool and compassionate, friendly to most she meets. She has an unusual pull to those who are spiritually aware as well like other spirits and mages. Here is her backstory though! When Shira was forged, she caused Arsnkar's forge to cool, almost extinguishing it. Since then, she has grown from a simple wisp with animal-like intelligence to a fully-fledged woman. The first time Shira was brought from the Crucible, it was 45 degrees Celsius, the worst heat wave to ever hit the area. Arnskar, who could tolerate the heat rather well, was still inclined to do what he could to help. Believing that Shira could help with the heat, and the heat could help Shira, he brought her topside. Due to her presence within the confines of the clan, the lower areas had been kept rather cooler, but when exposed to the full brunt of the heat, things got bad. Shira, flooded with energy, began to grow, pulling more and more heat in and dumping out Ice magic in the process. Arnskar lost control of her and the blade was quickly encircled by fog. The heat sink caused a vortex around the ice-encased blade. Those that came to the scene were unable to near Shira due to the biting cold and the objects hurled about by the conjured wind, but Arnskar was hardy. Arnskar, stubborn and resolute, carried himself to Shira and talked to her. He calmed her panic and the storm abated. With the outpouring of Ice magic stopped, the weather stabilized soon enough. Shira took in so much heat, emitted so much Ice, and altered the weather so much in this time that the Heat wave was essentially broken. It was still hot, but not again did the heat rise to such degrees. Since then, Shira's very presence in the clan has kept its temperature cooler than otherwise expected. She dreams of going to warm places now, where she can remain solid all the time. Even with her constant absorption of heat within the clan, she must still rest within her blade for several hours a day. This typically coincides with times that most dragons are conveniently asleep.

@Azurenight (Yooooo, good to see you again! :D Have some lore. x3 Minuit has a bunch of stories in his bio; the ones that focus on him are ridonkulously long, though he does have links to some short, pleasant vignettes as well. Mara's story is just one giant romp from start to finish.) A pair of Ice dragons settle down at the edge of the gathering. When approached, the Skydancer hesitates before speaking. His voice is soft, and he speaks as though he is in a small, quiet room. [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=32435509] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/324356/32435509_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] "Me? Oh...I come from very far away. Not the Icefield as you know it now." His smile is a bit sad. "My history is very convoluted and" his gaze drops briefly, "it is not for the faint of heart, dramatic as it sounds. I do have other stories I can share if that's not to your liking. They are much shorter, and some of them focus on my clanmates. I believe you know them? The Disillusionists?" [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=33548824] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/335489/33548824_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] The Imperial nods encouragingly at him, letting him speak first. When she is questioned, she responds, "Oh, me? I'm on vacation. I thought I'd show Minuit around, since I know the place better than he does. We came here with my mate, but he's on vacation at some sort of Blanket Fort and won't be back for a while. I hope it's not too stressful for him. "Then again, I think he weathers stress well." She laughs wryly, pressing her forepaws against her cheeks. "We met in an [i]incredibly[/i] stressful situation. It's quite a long story, and sometimes I still can't believe it happened that way."

@Azurenight [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=46969083] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/469691/46969083_350.png[/img] [/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=14325853] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/143259/14325853_350.png[/img] [/url] A young drake stopped, directed by a large imperial dragoness as they walked past stalls and through the crowd. the dragoness smiled softly as if apologizing for her companion. "Hello, we heard you were looking for stories. I'm Serenity and my friend here is Miski." she said, her eyes seemed to glow a faint red for a moment before returning to a lovely pale blue. she nudged her companion and he shifted a bit "Forgive the flowers my daughter, [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=212653&tab=dragon&did=47474185]Phiora[/url] likes them." he said, his voice was gruff, but oddly almost soothing. "I wasn't raised in the Ice fields, I grew up on my great grandparents' ship." he said, pale eyes sparking with fondness "My Gan taught me all she knew of magic, my grandfather taught me sword use." he grinned "A Viking lord and a Siren, when I was old enough gramps sent me to a different ship." he smiled bitterly "These eyes and my magic mark me different from my cousins, diluted because I wasn't hatched in Tidelord's domain and so my 'pure' cousins treated me poorly." He smiled suddenly "But I did what none 'o them could, found a fast ship with a decent captain and found my great grandparents' second eldest daughter. A Siren like Gran is and a fine warrior like Gramps!" he chuckled "She and her mate took my daughter and I in with open arms, I work as a guard for the clan's merchants at the moment." he explained. Serenity smiled "I hatched and spent awhile in the southern Ice fields, but my mother, a plague witch, and my father, a...deranged alchemist, were not well liked by their clan. I was shunned with them because my mother's magic was stronger than they thought it was and as such I can use plague magic to a lesser degree, we lived on the outskirts of the clan and my mother taught me what she could. My father cared little for his hatchlings, only taking interest in the magic that caused a second set of antlers to grow beside the first." she smiled bitterly. "When the power in the clan turned to a 'council' mother sent me to live in a clan and I was adopted by Sven and Damian, who treated me more like their own daughter than my parents ever did." she smiled "Please understand I love my parents, but they aren't my mother and father, Sven and Damian raised me and love me as their own." she explained. "In the end one of the council waged war on my clan and destroyed it, my fathers and I went to a allied clan where two of my friends were. the clan leaders helped me more than the training my mother had put me through ever had and eventually we left their clan. I followed Ashton and Lissandra and we made a clan out of the survivors of a group of wanderers, we just moved back to the Tangled Woods recently from Dragon Home." she explained. ____________________________________________________________ [i]Hello again! :3 Miski is part of a lineage and there are links to the others mentioned by Serenity in her Bio, also links to the lineage in Miski's bio. :3[/i]
