ArgentAurelius

Previously: Ambrosius, Wrimona

I.

His mother had two name ideas, but only one egg in the nest. 'I don't know, they're both so perfect! Don't you think so, Ambrosius?'

His father was more practical, or perhaps he just wasn't as invested. 'I'm sure either name will be fine, Wrimona. Why don't you just pick one when it hatches?'

So she took his advice and waited. When the egg hatched, she decided that both names were still perfect. 'We'll just have to use them both! Argent Aurelius has a nice ring to it, don't you think? It suits him!'

Strangely enough, it did suit him. Even as a hatchling, Argent Aurelius gained a reputation for being a dragon who was 'so nice they named him twice.' Possibly this was due to having Wrimona's undivided attention - her enthusiasm was infectious. Whatever the reason, Argent Aurelius grew up loving and trusting everyone he encountered. He listened with rapt attention to the Lord Mayor of Drakkontown's political advice and complimented Solveig on her purple princess ribbon. When Clarigale whistled, Argent Aurelius whistled back. Umberrime said his dreams were the most peaceful she had ever visited. In short, he was a dragon whose good nature endeared him to everyone he met.

Everyone, that is, except his brother Acrimony.
