Spirit

I was born of the Windswept Plateau in the early years of the Realm. By time I entered the world the initial battles for territory had fallen to the wayside, the shrines to the Deities were created, and the land was clearly marked for each Flight to host their many clans in. I do not remember much of my life but the records kept by the Wind Dragons are very detailed. I was born of two Guardians. Guardians who were the first of their generations. They have since moved their Clan to the land of the Lightweaver.

I was sold young and while I have no memory of my parents, I do remember being transformed from one form to another. I became a Wildclaw shortly after moving to the Ice Floes. I also was treated with a special formula that allowed me to gain shimmering wings as opposed to the flat colored ones I was born with. After undergoing these transformations I was paired with my first mate, Ryu. I am saddened to learn that he-- a dragon of the light-- was exalted to Lady Shadowbinder. I hope that he has adjusted to his life there, I remember him being so terrified of the darkness. Our first Clutch was a large one... 4 eggs for a Maiden Dragoness...!

As Ryu moved on to another Clan, Echo took his place as my assigned mate. Echo's brilliant Blue wings suited me better as a partner, the Clan Leader had decided. I was sad to see Ryu go.... but Echo had a wonderful sense of humor (if not a tad immature!) and I did enjoy his company immensely. Our first clutch was a 3 egg nest and we bore beautiful hatchlings that went on to Clans in different Flights. Shadow, Light, and Plague to be precise. Then there was a 2 egg nest, another 2 egg nest, and the return of Ryu.

When Ryu returned, I was paired with him once more. At this point, I didn't know what love was, I didn't know what a relationship was about. My main goal was to serve the Clan in the best way I knew how.... to bear profitable offspring.

Ryu and I had another 2 egg nest.... and another 2 egg nest. This was getting to be quite frustrating to us, and our Clan Leader. The pressure was on to bear another fruitful nest, like my first, so I could earn my keep within the Clan. Was my first nest so large that it permanently damaged me, and restricted my ability to birth plentiful offspring?

Echo once again became my partner and we were placed within a Clan in the Windsinger's Domain to try to bear more offspring.... and had yet another 2 egg nest. Finally, an ultimatum. If I could not provide a healthy sized nest of hatchlings, I would be removed from the Clan. When the time came to once again provide for my Clan.... a 3 egg nest. Breaking a streak of 5 miserable nests with that one extra egg. I was happy to have produced a better nest, I knew that I would be able to stay and continue to provide for the Clan who had kept me for so very long.

Until the day that two Arcane dragons showed up and carted me off wordlessly. It seems that one additional egg simply wasn't enough to save me.

As I arrived at the Starfall Isles, I didn't feel it worth speaking to anyone. I was immensely depressed and didn't care to know these dragons. Perhaps it was the way of the Ice Flight wearing off on me from my entire life spent with that Clan but I did not care for anyone. When I was paired with a Coatl dragon by the name of Fang, I didn't speak a single word to him. We bred, and he left. It seemed my silence suited him just fine... which furthered my depression.

I bore 3 offspring. All Coatls. The first time in my life I had been with a dragon other than my own species. I couldn't care less about the offspring and I cannot honestly remember what they looked like. I was burned out, dejected, and wanted to be sent off to the Gods. I nearly got my wish too.

The leader of the Arcane Clan trodded me off during Nature's Festival to the Auction House to be kept there. I couldn't help feeling absolutely worthless in that moment. In my youth I was transformed from nothing-- into something-- but nothing I ever did was worth anything to anyone. I was tired of being passed around and for all my years producing offspring my "value" was assigned at 8,000 treasure. I sincerely wish that no other aged dragon have to suffer the feeling of being worth such a paltry amount.

I was purchased and brought into a Wind Clan once again. I had begun to truly associate myself with the Flight I was born under after all of these years. Some of my last nests were hatched in this territory and I rather liked the sunshine and breeze that moved throughout the plateau. I was paired with Arkanis, a shrewd Shadow Dragon but unlike previous Clans, I am not here to breed. I'm here to be a part of a large family group. Arkanis is a nice friend to me presently... and maybe one day we will partner together to create some offspring but that will be a choice that we will make together.

Things seem nice here, but only time will tell if this Clan will become a true home.
