Firebrand

It was desperation that drove this Pearlcatcher to the entrance of the Blood Forge clan's caverns. He arrived gasping for breath with his half-dead mate clutched in his claws. He promised anything that the clan wanted; rare ores, ancient books, hidden trade routes known only to his home clan...anything that could be bartered to save her dwindling life.
Parhelion could not pass up a chance to try something he had only experimented with in his metalworking. With Lyria's help, the Guardian patched Aderyn's mortal wounds with a living metal enchanted to bend and move like hide.

With disaster averted, Firebrand made a home for himself and his mate with the clan, eager to make good on his hasty promises. Though he does regret being so forward with secrets without his previous clan's permission, he thinks it well worth the trouble to keep Aderyn in the land of the living. When his debts to the clan have been paid, it is uncertain if he and his mate will stay.
