Telma

Uh-oh, looks like this earthy tundra wandered a little too far from her lair #103802 Orgetzu, and now she's off to see the world! If ever you feel the urge to exalt, she'd really appreciate it if you could just return her home instead, or to the 'Dragons Off To See The World' thread, here.

Telma, brave and adventurous, had been looking for an excuse to leave. She wanted to find a new lair to call her own. When her little sister, Bramble, came to her with the story of her missing dad, Telma took it as the perfect opportunity. She would get to go on an adventure with her little sister. They'd get to explore all kinds of places. So they left. While they weren't really related, Telma was the only one who knew this. But she didn't care. They loved each other, and that was all that really mattered.

After quite a while of traveling- which consisted of the young Tundra riding on Telma's back most of the way- the two of them finally made their way to the Windswept Plateau. There, they came across a clan of dragons who were willing to help and take them in for as long as they needed-- With no strings attached! It was here that Bramble was finally able to grow large enough to handle the traveling on her own- mainly because she grew too big to ride on her sister's back. The two of them also made quite a few new friends during their stay here. Before departing, Telma was gifted a Teardrop Lapis Lazuli Choker- that she now wears all the time. Bramble was also gifted one- though the gem used for hers is Chroma.

After staying with this Clan for quite a while, however, the two finally decided to set off again, this time to a new location-- However, while on their journey, there was a terrible storm-- which led to the two of them getting separated from each other. So, now, instead of solely searching for Bramble's father, they are search for each other as well.

Searching for Bramble, Telma returned home for a short period. Unfortunately, nobody there had seen or heard news of Bramble. Even still, she knew it was a safe place to rest, and stayed for a while. It was great seeing everyone again, but she learned that Bramble's mom had left to reside in a new lair. After a while, Telma decided she needed to continue her adventure. She missed Bramble terribly, and hoped to find her one day.

Telma decided to set out to find her sister, traveling a way no dragon she had known had ever gone before. She had heard tale of a group of cold, mysterious dragons, who hid away across the sea. No one knew how far the flight to get to them was, and they had only heard tales from when they'd seen the dragons at the auction house, coming in glistening capes of frigid beauty. She found her way to the auction house, and waited for a clan to come by. Telma waited day in and day out for a week to catch sight of these legendary dragons, but to no avail. She turned away from the auction house, trudging to gathering grounds to gather food, too put out to fly there. Just as she was about to give up and start a new plan, she saw a bit of frost disappear down a side alley. She perked up, taking running, flapping leaps to catch up, turning the corner to see the frost disappear down another alley. So the day went, following, but never quite catching, until she reached the edge of the sea. When she got there, panting, she stopped, looking down at the ground in defeat. There she saw a note, that said "don't give up" written in swirly, homey writing. She looked up, determination in her eyes, and took a few big, thunderous claps of her wings, before launching in the air and soaring full speed ahead. She flew until the sun went down, and did not rest when she saw the sun come up. As the sun rose higher, her wingbeats started to falter, and she began weaving as she flew through the air. Once, twice, her eyelids drooped and she caught herself falling through the air for a few seconds before shaking herself awake. She remembered passing through a cloud, and then felt furry, feathery warmth surrounding her, and a gentle voice telling her to rest.

Telma woke up with a start, looking at a roaring fire in front of her. Surrounding her were a group of dragons, none the same. As she began to wake more, she felt that same cloudlike warmth about her and looked up, craning her head to see a furry dragon's wings swaddling her like a blanket. As she stirred, his eyes slowly blinked open and a huge grin spread across his face. His voice boomed through the cavern, "Hey Ice Cubes! She's awake!" Suddenly, dragons of every region crowded around her, commenting how happy she was here, bringing fresh caught and cooked food, and asking about her health.

"Long flight, huh?"
"You must be hungry!"
"You're the first earth dragon I've met!" Pipped up one small tundra, running around from behind the tundra that was keeping her warm
