Solemn

Solemn was the middle child in a five egg nest. While growing up he was always able to sneak out and run off for awhile without ever being caught. This accompanied by his wanderlust led him to the most beautiful meadow. It wasn't just pretty, it was perfect for playing! He explored every inch of that meadow, and knew all its hiding places and its secret treasures.

He had never shared the meadow with anyone. When someone else did happen to pass through he would hide until they went away. He didn't want anyone staying in his special place. The only place he could be without his siblings. The only place he could find quiet.

It was a typical day for Solemn. He woke up, was fussed over by his mother and then snuck off after breakfast. He decided to take a different path that day, one that took a little while longer to walk down. By the time he got to his meadow, someone else was already there.

She was little like him, and he could tell from her eyes that she must have been born near here, since they were the perfect color green. She was all alone. He hid in his favorite hiding spot, and watched her for awhile. She didn't seem like she was going to leave. So he decided to talk to her.

He approached her "Hi." No answer. Didn't she know how to talk? "Who are you?" He asked while stepping closer. She shied away a bit without taking any steps. "Where are you from?" "How did you find this place?" "Are you going to come back here?" He questioned her for quite awhile and she didn't respond at all. To anything. So he said goodbye and went back home.

He went back the next day and looked for her; the girl with no name. But she didn't show. He came back everyday hoping to see her but It was weeks before he saw tracks again on his trail. When he came upon his meadow again there she was. She was dancing with some butterflies. At least that what he thought. That's what she looked like. Like she was dancing. He watched her for awhile again. He really did think she was beautiful....

He slipped.
And she saw him.
Or part of him.
He hid behind his rock.
He could hear her walking over.
He took the chance to peek over the rock again,
And when he did he saw green eyes staring back at him.

A lot happened that day, but the most important thing was the friendship and love that followed the fateful meeting.



He loved Doku. They moved away and traveled together when they were old enough. She talked about starting her own clan one day, he talked about starting a family. When they were young they thought these meant two separate things. It took them awhile to figure out that they were really one and the Same.

They called him King. He never felt like one, but they called him one nonetheless. In fact they named him King, and his mate Queen. His clanmates voted and together they formed a hierarchy that no one expected. His children were royalty. Something he never expected since he was 3rd in line to his family name. But with Doku, everything was possible.

He was really only a leader in name(he felt). Doku did everything. Solemn only helped pick out advisors, and guards. He named lieutenants and dealt with disputes among the members. He played with all the children, and listened to the adults.

He put together the program that puts lonely dragons with other lonely dragons, and boosts the T and lineage of his clan. He didn't do so much. He loved Doku. That's how he felt he contributed. He supported her. And he would continue to support her.
