April Update: With the recent addition of a pair of moth-like dragons, Butcherbird Clan has been drawn to the flaming home of young Gelechiid.

Butcherbird Clan.

Before the clan came to the Sanctum they were small and growing smaller. It wasn't that there weren't eggs clutched; but as soon as the hatchlings came of age they chose other lives. The Gladekeeper seemed to call so many children -- and while neither Granite nor Larch begrudged their offspring their choices, it seemed strange. Even the dragons that had joined their clan as adults only stayed a little while; oh, there were one or two who became permanent members, but Stareek was the exception rather than the rule.

And finally it was Stareek, her tail curling in the sun one summer day, who suggested the move to Granite. The clan was all grown dragons now -- Granite and Larch, Tsih and Stareek, teenage Mudfeet trying out his new length, Duskrunner preening his feathers, and tall shy Yadeal just starting to warm up. Ahe had left the day before after a long serious conversation with Almach, heading for her home clan in the Crystalspines. It was a clan they were to become closely connected with -- but they didn't know that then.

Stareek said: "The Everbloom offers no challenge. It is a beautiful place but it is a place that gives soft fruit to hatchlings, not a place that can anchor the roots we need to grow. It is the place we were born, but it is a place already full of so many other lives. And without growth we cannot blossom, without room we cannot branch." Granite, lying belly-down in a shallow rill of cool water against the heat, was silent a long time. Larch had -- privately, so far -- ceded the decision-making to her, so it was on her word alone that the clan's future rested. He would back her immediately until the time came, not so far from now, that he stepped down fully as a leader.

At last she replied, "The world is a little emptier, further east -- and I hear there are many dragons in the Sanctum without a clan."

So the choice to move was made. It took time; it took effort. There were many things to pack, and goodbyes to be said, one of them more permanent. Duskrunner had discovered that he could not live without Ahe; but he promised to send messengers once they were settled, because the clan had been his first adult home. But at last they were going; an easy flight, broken by a peaceful sleep just outside the Everbloom, then over the ancient ley-line reader and into a heavy grove of trees patterning the ground with shade. There were leather rain-shedders to be strung from branches, hunting to be done, a ledge of rock to be explored for caves. That night they slept easily, the hum of ley-line magic humming below them, out of hearing but not out of sense.

And in the morning, on their doorstep, a delicate black Wildclaw with eyes so pale a yellow they might as well be white.

Sorry for the late reply!!! Yeah I saw the sandsurge sand immediately went “it’s time for Temeraire fan dragons”

Cimorene and Mendanbar are my progens. I read EFC 18 years ago and I’m still obsessed over those 4 books. I should make more fan dragons for them. My OCs are all fan characters for that series
