Biography

- The Angel -

---

You look around the shady bar you just entered, it was totally empty and the old wooden floor creaks under your claws. You walk into one of the side rooms, seemed like this was the dinner part. Though it smelled like smoke and spilled liquor, cheap liquor to be precise. Suddenly your gaze got caught by a bright looking Coatl who was cleaning one of the tables. He was an angelic creature with soft golden feathers and brilliant purple eyes. He looked so out of place in the dark and musty bar. It was almost if he was glowing against the dark interior. The Coatl caught you staring and gives you a warm smile ‘Welcome stranger’ he says heartily. You were a bit baffled, his voice sounded quite strong and didn’t really fit his appearance, but it wasn’t unpleasant in any way. Without waiting for a response he graciously moved between the wobbly tables walking towards you. ‘My name is Raphael, mostly the customers arrive at night but if you need anything just ask’ he says with a wink.

• Most dragons call him Raph for short

• Raphael's fur is softer and more curly than most Coatls

• His voice doesn't really match his looks, it's quite gruff

Everyone who lies their eyes upon Raphael for the first time will get this slight feeling that something is off, that he doesn’t belong here. But nobody can figure out what it is exactly and the feeling will quickly be replaced by admiration – or in some cases, jealousy- for his beauty and elegance. They are not wrong actually, since Raphael really doesn’t belong in this world. A secret only a very few dragons are aware of. One day the Coatl just appeared in the middle of the Tangled Woods, with a hatchling in his arms. The child was his brother Gabriel, too young to even be aware of what had happened to him. The two brothers come from a place that is mostly mentioned in myths and stories, many would call it a paradise but for Raphael it felt like a golden cage. All the rules and restrictions just didn’t work for him, he wanted to live his life without being judged or frowned upon. And to give Gabriel a chance to decide his own future instead of walking the road that his superiors had set out for him before he was even born. So there they stood, two angelic beings radiating their light between the dark trees.

Raphael was still in his teenage years when he set his first step in Sornieth but he tried his best to raise his younger brother. The two stayed with small or nomadic clans from time to time, it was not hard for them to ask for help from others since a lot of dragons where attracted to the beauty of the brothers. At first Raphael hated the stares but he slowly started to accept and even enjoy it. He was sure to never cross the line between confidence and vanity but he was well aware that he was good looking. And even though Gabriel was just as pretty as him the younger Coatl never really seemed to care about appearance and attention. He’d rather daydream or sit silently under Raphael’s wing, listening to the stories of other dragons. When Gabriel became older he started to feel like he was different from other dragons and often would ask Raphael about it, but his older brother would just smile and pat his head. Telling him not to worry about it, that he was just a bit more special and that’s all. It hurt Raphael sometimes to lie to his brother since he could clearly see the confusion on the youngsters face when he would compare himself to others. But Raphael promised himself to never tell Gabriel the truth about their origin, in fear that he would not understand it or even wanted to return…

When Raphael reached adulthood and Gabriel started to mature too they started to slowly grew apart, of course their bond as brothers never weakened but it became clear the two had different morals and future plans. Where Gabriel had the urge to search for the truth and a place to truly call home Raphael rather spend time in the center of attention, basking in the compliments of other dragons. Every night Gabriel would sneak away to look at the moon and to be alone with his own thoughts and dreams. Most of the time Raphael followed him to make sure nothing would happen to his precious brother and one night he heard Gabriel sing this beautiful but sorrowful song. Raphael sighed and came out of his hiding place in the bushes to sit next to his brother, ‘are you oke?’ he asked. Gabriel nodded ‘I knew you were there all the time by the way’ he answered with a smile. ‘sorry old habit’ Raphael confessed ‘you know you can tell me everything right…’ Gabriel looked up at his brother, he could feel Raphael was a bit worried. A talent he seemed to have for a long time, being able to read others emotions. ‘Is this how our life will always be Raphael? Moving from clan to clan, living off whatever they give us… I know there must be more to life than this’ Gabriel said while staring his older brother in the eyes. Raphael kept silent for a moment and then shook his head ‘You are right, but that is actually what I wanted to talk about with you. Someone just offered us a job actually’ Gabriel perked up a bit ‘a job?’ he asked a bit uncertain. ‘Yup, seemingly there is bar nearby and some traveler told me it could be a good opportunity for us. Oke it was quite a shady guy but-‘ ‘I’m not going to work in a bar.’ Gabriel interrupted his brother. Raphael was quite startled since this was actually the first time he heard Gabriel raise his voice, he narrowed his eyes ‘and why not, I think it sounds fun and it’s a good way to meet new dragons’ he said. Gabriel flattened the feathers on his head a bit ‘but it’s not always about what you think Raph…’ he answered softly without almost no sound. ‘I would rather leave this dark place, I just have this feeling that there is more out there, I know you don’t believe in this but it calls out to me’ Gabriel started to feel a bit desperate, he loved his brother but he could be so stubborn. Raphael just snorted and the two would sit silently next to each other for a while. ‘If.. that’s really what you want then you should go for it…’ Raphael broke the silence. ‘But what about you?’ Gabriel asked a bit confused. The older Coatl sighed ‘I stay here and take the job. I have a good feeling about it’ Gabriel nodded ‘I will miss you though’ he said a bit sad. ‘Heh well I won’t, you snore every night you know’ Raphael said with a grin. ‘Hilarious…’ Gabriel replied while rolling with his eyes. ‘As I recall it you are the one with the snoring range of an Imperial’ Raphael laughed and pulled his younger brother in a hug. ‘I’ll miss you too’

The next morning the two brothers decided to part their ways, the hardest thing Raphael had to do in his whole life. They took their last walk together in the Tangled Woods until they reached a path that would led north over the borders of the Shadow realm. Raphael embraced the smaller Coatl ‘are you really sure.’ he asked for the last time. Gabriel nodded, slowly suffocation in his brothers grasp ‘you can let go now, I can’t breathe Raph…’ Raphael chuckled and let go of his brother. Gabriel fixed the many bags he was carrying on his back and stared longingly at the path that would start his journey. ‘Please be careful, and if anything happens contact me right away’ Raphael said seriously. Gabriel gave him a confident smile ‘I promise, but don’t worry I can handle myself.’ Raphael fidgeted with his silk scarf a bit before answering ‘I know you can, it’s just that I would never forgive myself if something happens to you’ he said. Gabriel placed his claw on his older brothers shoulder and looked him in the eyes ‘This is what I want Raph and I swear nothing is going to happen.’ Raphael stared back in Gabriels bright purple eyes ‘Then you have my blessing’ he pressed his forehead against Gabriels for a second. Gabriel smiled at him and walked towards the path, turning around to wave at his brother ‘I will see you again’ he whispered. Raphael looked at his brother until he had disappeared in the distance. He then turned around, wiping the tears from his cheek he laughed In himself, good that Gabriel didn’t saw him cry since he would never have shut up about it. He sat down at his haunches for bit and unfolded a piece of paper he was carrying with him, on it where the directions to this bar the odd stranger told him about. Raphael stood up and flapped his wings, he was determined to make this work and he started to walk deeper into the dark forest.

After hours of walking and staring at the directions multiple time Raphael realized he was horribly lost. He groaned in annoyance when his fine silks get caught on thorn tendrils again, cutting them down with a blast of magic out of pure frustration. ‘woah watch it dude’ a voice suddenly cried out, startling the Coatl. ‘H-hello?’ Raphael asked carefully while looking around to find out where the voice came from. Suddenly he yelped in shock when a hooded white Wildclaw jumped down from a tree in front of him. Raphael stared right in his creepy masked face and wanted to turn tail before this weirdo would stab him or something. But the Wildclaw grabbed one of his wings ‘hey easy princess I’m not going to hurt you’ he mumbled. Raphael turned around ‘excuse, how did you call me!?’ he blurted out, slapping the dragon in the face with his other wing. The Wildclaw released his grip on Raphael and started to laugh, it sounded almost metallic due to the mask. Raphael gritted his teeth and braced himself for a potential fight ‘show your face’ he demanded. The Wildclaw just shrugged and took off his mask and hood, grinning. Raphael tilted his head and inspected the Wildclaws face, he had pale icy eyes and some deep scars across his snout. A strange feeling of familiarity overcame him. ‘do I know you?’ Raphael asked a bit reserved. The Wildclaw shook his head ‘No, but we came from the same place’ he said while pointing at the sky. Raphael backed away a bit ‘What do you mean…’ The Wildclaw spread his red wings and ignored the question ‘You are looking for The Horns and Halos bar aren’t you’ he asked. Raphael started to feel really uneasy ‘how did you know that’. The Wildclaw put back his hood and mask ‘Marcus told me you would come and asked me to keep an eye out for you since you seemed a bit clueless’ he said while walking away in the opposite direction. Raphael just stood there for a second but then ran after the Wildclaw ‘I’m not’ he sputtered while he caught up with the Wildclaw ‘And who is Marcus. Actually who the hell are you’ he said while looking at the strange dragon beside him. ‘Marcus is the fella you met yesterday, he gave you the note with directions. And you can call me Sane for now’ he answered. Raphael doubted for a second ‘What did you mean with that we came from the same place’ he asked. Sane sighed ‘Where you decided to leave voluntarily I was kicked out, not that I care about it…’ Raphael opened his mouth to say something but Sane cut him off ‘Here we are’ he said bluntly while pointing at a building between the trees that looked like some kind of inn, a worn sign stood before it with ‘Horns and Halos bar’ written on it. But Raphael was more distracted by the huge black castle that seemed to rose from the trees behind the bar. He was a bit confused that he didn’t see the castle ever before ‘what’s there?’ he asked curiously. ‘Eh you will find out soon enough, but now get inside, Marcus hates it when you are late’ Sane said while pushing Raphael towards the door.

Quote:

"I do not think you understand; there is a fine line between beauty and vainness, and I have been careful not to cross it."

It's mostly in the way he carries himself, but there is still no denying that he is beautiful.

And oh, does he know it.

You won't catch him preening in the reflection of the surface of a pond, but the confidence is in the surety of his step and the clarity of his voice. It is in the calmness of his gaze and the brightness in his eyes.

When he talks, dragons listen.

They have good reason to.
