Soul-light Refuge

If I buy your dragon at or below the fodder price, there is a high chance it will be exalted. If you do not want this, I will sell your dragon back for the price I bought it, or a 1 for 1 fodder trade

As the sun sets on Sornieth, and the Viridian Labyrinth fades to purple-black, dragons flying overhead notice something. There — where the mighty trees give way to the roiling surf — are a few moving lights scattered among the sand.

At first they might think they’re fireflies, or when they’re in the ocean, banks of shining plankton.
But it’s the dragons themselves. At night, each of those dragons’ souls begins to glow inside their bodies, like a captured star residing in each breast.

The hatchlings don’t question it. They use their soul-light to chase each other around in the dark, laughing like hatchlings do. The spirit-dancers use the light to form patterns, revolving wheels during their dancing dervishes. And the clan botanists dissect particularly tasty leaves by the light of their own souls.

But TigerEye stands on a small hillock overlooking her clan. They have mostly forgotten. But as leader and lorekeeper, she knows, has written, and remembers what chased her clan out of the starlit reaches of their former mountain home.

She writes in the light of her own amber glow, The Ravagers are creatures so void-black that they eye can’t perceive their shape. We only knew they were on us when our clan-mates were split open by shadows, and we caught a glimpse of their soul-light vanishing down a midnight-colored gullet.

Then she looks up from her writing, watching the capering hatchlings and chanting priestesses, listening to the salty waves break. Feeling the ancient canopies rustling overhead on seaborne breeze.

She prays the peace holds.

Hey there! I've just hosted your traveler Guardian, Sugilite (#39424939) and took some creative freedom with his first travel log (if that's okay with you). I hope you'll like his story.
