The Spear

Born during the Thundercrack to a pair of visiting ridgebacks from the Arieus clan, Aria was adopted as a little sister by the heiress to the Stormsingers, Bryanna. She did not return with her two siblings and instead became a full member of the Stormsinger clan.

Tragedy struck early in her new life. An unproven plot driven by jealousy of her older sister resulted in the young dragon to take to the thunderstruck skies and too close to one of the pillars. She managed to peel away before acting as a living conduit between sky and machine, but not before suffering disastrous burns along her left side. Bryanna caught her falling sister and took her to the clan healer Visrel.

When Aria woke up her scared limbs had been reinforced with steel and gear - the trademark mechwork of the Lightning Flight. The young dragon is now one of the fastest of the clan and acts as messenger.
