Elocinator's Clan

Wind sweeps over the barren earth, heat beating down upon the wary traveler. Left, right forward, reverse, no matter which way you look there is only cracked mud and broken soil. No life stirs within this desolate land.

Until -- wait, there! Was that?

The very boulders seem to move, coming to life with grunts and groans. Movement shakes the ground with small tremors, the weight of the great beasts shaking you to your very core.

And yet, there is no fear here. There is a calm, slow and steady like the sands of time. The boulder, you realize, is not more cracked earth. It is a beast of power, of strength, of beauty. You gasp in awe as it turns its beaked face towards you. A dragon. A snapper!

It snorts and blinks. You blink back. Then you watch as it returns to its duty, digging at the fractured ground with hard nails. A few minutes later and there is life in this wasteland. Water pools at the snapper's feet, encouraging the others to come forward.

Two small fae, once lost and confused, flitter past to drink before waiting for the rest of the travel party to do the same. Some are scarred looking, mighty beasts, others seemingly more docile and complacent. They are a ragtag, mixed race crew, but something, it seems, has brought them together.

When all have had their fill of water, the wandering band moves on. Smaller dragons hide in the shade of much larger ones, lead forward down a path only the snappers seem to know. None complain, you notice, all of them moving forward together. Constantly moving forward.

You watch them pass like a processional, slow but steady until they disappear over the horizon. Then the earth is still again, no further signs of life. You approach the shallow puddle left behind in the dragons' wake, drinking what remains until you are sated.

Then, you too move on.


Hey guys! I'm Elocinator. Feel free to call me Elocin! If your clever, you might figure out what it is. ~_^

Still working on figuring things out around here. I also have accounts on Wajas, ChickenSmoothie, and GPX+. I'll update this with something clever when I think of it. xD

And yes, I have a Shakespearean theme going on with my dragon names. Well, most of them, anyway. xD
