Iridis

For a long time after the death of Vaeros, Alexandra was very depressed and distraught. She would leave the clan for long periods of time to unknown destinations. One time, she was gone for a year. The clan searched and searched for their mistress, but to no avail. Everyone had given up hope of finding her. Then one day Ancalagon and Xantha spotted her in the distance. A bedraggled and exhausted dragoness that was once beautiful and could once again be beautiful. However, there was something she was carrying in her frail embrace. A small hatchling with her fiery eyes and scales searing hot to the touch. There was no doubt the hatchling was hers, for his appearance was marked similar to hers, and he had inherited her magical abilities with fire. For a short duration, Alexandra was the only one that could touch her beloved hatchling because of the heat that was given off by his scales. As he grew, his scales cooled down and he could be touched by all. Despite this, he was shunned in a way. The clan questioned Alexandra many times about Iridis's father. She would only answer, "He was very dear to me, much like Vaeros. If you hold any respect for me or for my late mate, you will hold the same respect for Iridis. He is all I have in this harsh, cruel world the unmerciful deities have created. He has done nothing to deserve your hatred and strange, daring stares". From that point on, the clan treated him as an equal. As time went on and the Last Heart grew to be a force to be reckoned with, he grew into a fine young dragon with the mysterious and alluring mate, Camelia. Now that the clan has established its first stronghold, Iridis has established himself as the blacksmith after he showed his amazing talent at working metals into the best tools and armor.
