Talaz

One day Vrancea brought home two very young Guardians who were apparently trying to out swim a Deeprealm Hunter. Sigur was, as always, thrilled to have company. Especially since it meant he got to tunnel new dens. The brothers, Bratus and Talaz, stayed with the older dragons for months and by the time frost was beginning to appear, the group had seen each other through highs and lows and functioned smoothly as a team.

However spring came and the brothers told the older dragons they felt they needed to go find their charges. Vrancea and Sigur exchanged a look before Vrancea voiced their thoughts. "We would like to come with you, if you don't mind." Sigur chimed in, "We consider you part of our family." The brothers happily agreed to the dragons they considered parents staying with them as they tried to find what it was they were meant to be protecting.

The next day they set off. They traveled through the Sunbeam Ruins, the Tangeled Wood, and the Viridian Labyrinth before coming to Dragonhome. Talaz spoke suddenly, "I think this is it." Looking towards the crumbled World Pillar. Talaz stopped in the crater surrounding the pillar and nodded. "This is the area I will protect." Vrancea, suggested a lair near the top of the crater which Sigur happily bagan to make. He had carved out four dens, one for each brother, one to share with Vrancea, and one large one to meet and eat in together, done by nightfall.

A year later, the small group had finally adapted to the new way of life and hunting required in Dragonhome. Sigur and Vrancea had hatched their first nest and seen the young dragons off as the hatchlings felt ready. Talaz guarded the lair and the crater with pride. Bratus had not yet found his charge, but felt this is where he was meant to meet them, so he stayed. It was a hot summer day, Bratus and Vrancea had gone out to hunt and gather while Sigur tunneled a nesting den, as they had not been fully prepared for their first nest, and Talaz watched over the crater.

Sigur often became hyper-focused as he tunneled so it was no surprise that when when a commotion began to happen outside the lair in the crater, Talaz had already gone to check it out. Sigur kept an eye on the situation from the lair entrance as Talaz interacted with an injured Skydancer and an injured imperial who appeared to have painfully crash landed in the crater.

Talaz looked up to Sigur, who gave his adopted son a small nod of reassurance. Sigur watched as Talaz said a few more words to the pair before the Skydancer helped the imperial to her feet and the trio made their way on foot up the canyon wall to the lair. In the time it took the three to get into the lair, Sigur had gone to gather the bandaged and ointments from storage within the lair. Sigur introduced himself to the pair, who were called Ice and Stralucire. Sigur talked to the pair about their escape from the clans in the Wasteland as he and Talaz helped to clean up their injures. When Vrancea and Bratus arrived home, Talaz introduced them to Ice and Stralucire. Sigur mentioned having finished the the nesting den and with a little help, it was quickly turned into a den for Ice and Stralucire while they stayed.

It seemed like every time anyone left the den now, there was another dragon who became a part of the lair's chosen family. Sigur took charge of the constant renovations as the lair continuously grew while Vrancea lead hunting and gathering parties with the help of Bratus.
