Adagio

Adagio

A slow movement or division of a symphony or sonata


Adagio is the very first dragon to be a part of my choir. He has a very laid back personality and is very happy to go with the flow. This may seem like an odd temperament for a clan leader, but it has worked well for WindSwept Chorus so far. He tends to only step into matters if they really get out of hand and never makes rash decisions.

He and his mate the tiny Fae, Soprani, may seem to be quite the odd couple, but they are devoted to each other. His patience means that they don't have the frustrations that can come with communicating with a Fae bond mate.

Along with his warm personality, Adagio is also famous for his warm coat. And days when the winds blow cold, the most popular place to nap is as many tucked under his fluffy mane as possible.

Relaxed and content is the way he prefers to live and he keeps the clan moving at the same tilt. Which keeps practically all members content with his leadership. This is a very good thing for Adagio, as he would hate to fight another dragon.

A more complete history of Adagio and the founding of the WindSwept Chorus:


Adagio is a rather mild tempered Tundra, even as far as his breed goes, who never thought he would start a clan. As he grew up the only ambition he had was to stay well fed, happy, and free. In pursuit of this he took to aimless wandering, soaring smoothly on thermals during the warmer months and ambling from place to place when his mane grew to heavy to fly with during the colder months. He passed through his travels, enjoying the sights he saw and the dragons he met. The only thing that might recall him to mind was the simple songs he would sing as he passed through.

Then one day he was passing through the Zephyr Steppes, by a thicket where the bamboo grew tall and he heard a sound that stopped him in his tracks. An almost magical hum, soothing and full of surprisingly complex harmonies. He searched for the sound until he realized that it was the music of the wind itself, blowing over the open ends of the bamboo stalks.

He found the sound so peaceful and relaxing that he decided to make a lair there,content to have a relaxed, if solitary life. He was surprised, to say the least when very shortly after his lair was built another dragon came to the thicket of singing bamboo. A small Fae, by the name of Soprani.

They were as different as they could be; large and small, relaxed and energetic, red and blue. Yet, as they sat amongst the bamboo and talked, they found that they had never enjoyed the company of any other dragon more. They also found they enjoyed making music much better together than they ever had alone.

Slowly the pair grew into a clan, as more and more dragons found the lair within the singing bamboo where music was almost a constant. Adagio had a very simple philosophy: If you enjoy music, come and play with us.

Without really trying, he found that he had become the leader of a growing clan, the WindSwept Chorus. His level head proved to be perfect for navigating any troubles that arose between the very different dragons of the clan. Still, he was content with his simple appearance, even amongst far flashier dragons.

That changed when he became a father.

He fell in love with those fuzzy little hatchlings, who looked up at him with big adoring eyes and asked for stories of his travels. They wanted to see the world like he did, and suddly he was afraid. He feared that his children wouldn't find any clan to travel with. That they would be looked over because they were so plain.

It took a lot of work to find them new clans, but when it was done he told Soprani that was going to work to get new genes, so he would never have to worry about any of his children being passed over for being too plain.

For the first time in his life, Adagio was driven.
