Andalusa's Clan

___________________________________________________________________________
You stumble through the dense foliage gripping at your ankles, everywhere you look you can see a myriad of colours, too beautiful to put names to. It’s like walking through a rainbow, every step you take uncovers a new wonder to marvel at. Small birds and insects flutter about your head, the plants around you shift as unseen creatures scurry around your feet. They seem to be watching you.

That tree in the distance, the one towering above everything else, it’s calling to you. The wind whispers a promise and the earth pulses with life... You can feel it, luring you further into what looks like paradise.

By the time you realise you can no longer feel the sun it is too late, the small patches of sky you can see between the branches of the trees are dark, nothing is familiar to you. You are lost. There is no way you can find your way back, perhaps it would be best to find a place to rest for the night and try to find a way out in the morning.

In the distance you spot a cave, so you head towards it, as you pull back the vines that cover the entrance you see what appears to be a statue, maybe some kind of monument, stone coloured and perfectly still. You place a hand on it and are amazing to feel the warmth radiating from it.

You feel the stone shift under your fingers and bright green eyes open to stare directly into your own. Your hand falls away as the dragon (for that is what it is) shifts again, it doesn’t blink as it speaks to you. It doesn’t use words, not ones that you can understand, as it makes deep noises in the back of its throat you suddenly know.

His name is Titan and you are welcome to stay for the night as long as you do not deceive him or any of his family. You are not to leave the lair before sun-up. You are not to steal or lie. You know that if you do any of those things the consequences will be unpleasant.

You thank him and make your way into his lair. Your eyes widen as you find yourself surrounded by dragons of all kinds. In one corner you notice a pair of the same breed carefully tending a nest. Their thick hide looks like it has trapped the night sky. In another a group of dragons all clutching large pearls eye you wearily, the grip on their prizes increases as you make your way further in.

Out of the darkness a small, brown dragon flutters towards you, their wings draped in various trinkets, more still attached to their arms and legs and tail, it even wears a scarf. You idly wonder how it stays in the air when this one speaks to you as well. Instead of a low grumbling, she emits an almost birdlike song.

Sprite bids that you sit and rest, she will bring you food and a blanket.

I hoard

Crushed Petals

Organics

A gorgeous pile of red petals, ready to be ground into pigment.

42

Wrinkled Azurescales

Organics

Up close these petals do not resemble scales, though if ground into a pigment they can dye scales blue.

42

Potted Peacevine

Organics

Poisonous, but pretty! Peacevine lives on very little water and very little sunlight, making it an ideal lair decoration during long, dark winters.

29

Potted Deepmine Fungi

Organics

A favored sign or distance marker used by clans living in the undersea cave networks that connect the Tangled Wood and Dragonhome.
