Isaac

needs to be coded



Life used to be simple. Isaac used to explore her passion at her home in the Southern Icefield. Art, murals, and tattoos. Her skills developed quickly in the environment her old clan had. Peaceful, quiet, and prosperous. For a while, it seemed that nothing could ever go wrong. The Icewarden was their protector, their guardian, but that was the funny thing about a god. They never really protected their followers. Suffering was seen as a part of life but that suffering had no end in the eyes of a god or a goddess. They had too much to worry about as it was. What was a tiny clan living in the shadow of a mountain? What were a handful of believers? What were any of them? These questions had never crossed Issac's mind. Never once did she ever believe that the Icewarden would leave her abandoned. Alone. But that was what happened. It seemed impossible at the time. Similar to a dream or a trance. Impossible. But the avalanche was all too real. It crushed the clan grounds, snuffing out almost all life. There were a few survivors, but some of them ended up passing from their injuries. Before long, Isaac and only two others were alive. They had sought refugee in an ally clan but they couldn't stay for too long. The clan themselves were suffering from the bad winter and the survivors had to leave. Unsure of where she would go.

Eventually, Isaac left the Southern Icefields, hoping to find somewhere she could go, someone that would accept her. Isaac's search brought her across many clans, only being given shelter and food. Soon enough she was thrown out of every clan because they couldn't support anymore dragons. It was nothing against her, they would explain, but times were tough for everyone. She had to find a clan that needed her. She had to be useful. Isaac knew she was useful to those that appreciated her talents, especially those that wanted tattoos. For weeks she was able to find shelter in return for tattoos for others. Food, shelter, warm clothes, everything she could need was given to her, and she left before they kicked her out. This became her life. Jumping from clan to clan. It was an empty existence. She had nothing and no one. Living seemed to just a hobby for a while. Isaac wanted to improve her artwork and if that meant she would have no close attachments then so be it. She lost everyone she cared about in the avalanche, but she knew that her parents and her other loved ones would want her to keep going. Carry on their name. Even if she wasn't happy. This loneliness soon got to her. Her mental state began to slowly deteriorate due to the lack of proper social support and she slipped in and out of grief and feeling nothing.

This slippage soon stopped when Isaac met Lacroix. The dragon took her in, saving the refugee Lacroix would say. In return for the selfless act Lacroix had done, they only asked for Isaac's assistance. Feeling as if a hole had been filled in her heart, Isaac agreed. She devoted her whole being to Lacroix. Isaac would do everything and anything for Lacroix, to keep her savoir happy. This lead to Isaac's new permanent job. A handmaiden. If Lacroix needed something Isaac made sure it happened. She took care of Lacroix's wardrobe, checked her meals for poison, did all the shopping for her, and even went as far as to defend Lacroix's honor if someone even dared to breathe an insult in her direction. Lacroix was her savoir. The only dragon in the world that had accepted her after the disaster and wanted to protect her. The only one that didn't toss Isaac out when times became tough or thought she was useless. Lacroix even let Isaac practice her artwork by decorating the lair with murals and let her practice her tattoo designs during whatever free time Isaac got. This free time, however, was just an absence of orders. Isaac's job never ended. She was a full time protector to Lacroix. Months of wandering alone and having to defend for herself when no one would take her in taught Isaac how to use weapons. She would carry weapons on her, if she ever believed or felt that Lacroix would be in danger. Yes, Isaac was devoted to Lacroix. To the point that Isaac soon found herself ni love with her master.

The relationship was severely one-sided. Isaac knew she was being used, that her romantic feelings weren't really being returned during anything that happened. Lacroix would use her for pleasure and for a laugh, but Isaac didn't care. She was too devoted to Lacroix. As far as Isaac was concerned, Lacroix could use her as a doormat and Isaac would still be pleased and deeply in love with her master. Lacroix was close to being everything to Isaac, but a small part of Isaac's heart remained free from Lacroix. Free enough that Isaac refused to forget one of the only dragons she ever had a good relationship with, even after the avalanche. Her sister. Every dawn, Isaac would wake up and send a prayer to any god or goddess that would listen to her, to protect her sister and keep her healthy. Then, for the rest of the day, Isaac's sister was out of her mind and Lacroix was her world. As far as Isaac was concerned, this was how it should be. It was important to keep your loved ones close, but one must always be concerned and pay attention to their master.
