Her Birthright What a twisted family she had been born into. Her mother, Aries, was the matriarch of the Glass Shatter Clan and dominated as a tyrant. Her mate, Falkor, blindly carried out her will. Phantom was deeply disturbed by how much her siblings took after their mother. Each day she watched them get a little more vindictive, slightly more cunning. Each one was as selfish as the last and she quickly came to the realization that she wanted no part of this family. Could it even be called a family when each one did nothing but look out for themselves? She was disgusted by the hierarchy of the clan. The other hatchlings feared her simply because of her birthright. Unlike her siblings, she yearned for companionship. She wanted a friend. With the best of intentions, she set out to make friends with the other hatchlings. She always found herself abandoned, the parents of the other warning them that a daughter of Aries was not to be trusted. She resented the legacy that her siblings relished. They exploited this preconception by using it to instill fear in their peers. They would certainly be leaders of their own clans one day, but at what cost? Without a single dragon she could call a friend, Phantom turned to the familiars of the clan's bestiary. They didn't know who she was related to, and they wouldn't have cared anyway. |

The Familiars
It started with just one familiar. Her mother had hoarded their familiars deep in the caverns of her icy den. One had wandered from the bestiary and gotten lost in the caverns. Phantom herself had been playing in the caverns that day, and had stumbled upon the lost familiar. She knew her mother would be furious, snapping her jaws to herd the little one back to its place. Phantom knew this was her opportunity. Her protective nature kicked in and she immediately took the familiar under her wing. The familiar never talked back, it never judged her and it was always by her side. She beamed with pride as the little creature followed in her every step.
When one of her siblings tried to take the familiar for himself, she kicked into protective mode. She emitted a low warning snarl, but wasn't taken seriously because she had never attempted to stand up for herself before. Her brother scoffed at her attempt to dissuade him. When he refused to back off, she tackled him. She was much larger than her brother and had caught him off guard. She landed a series of wild blows to his side and chest before she felt the sting of her mother's claws, sending her tumbling away from her brother. They may not have been able to finish their fight, but the message had gotten through loud and clear. No one was to mess with her familiar.
Growing the Herd
Whenever the warriors of the clan brought back a new familiar from the coliseum, Phantom would beg them to let her keep it. They had plenty of extras, so they saw no harm in handing them over to the little dragon. After all, she was Aries' daughter and they knew if they were to cross her, then they risked the chance of angering the matriarch. As her herd of familiars grew, so did her possessiveness. It got to the point that she was hiding her familiars from the other dragons. In her escapades, she had found a small, uninhabited ice cave not far from her clan. She kept her familiars there during the night to keep them from being stolen from her. Some of the familiars that were used to a more tropical climate had protested at first. The den was much colder than the one that her mother had kept the bestiary in and they didn't want to be left there overnight. Phantom insisted that she knew what was best for them, and hiding them here was the only way to keep them safe.
The Ringlet
One day, the warriors had been fighting in the Rainsong Jungle and brought her back a Ringlet Amphithere. The green snakelike creature was so tiny. Phantom fell in love with it instantly, she nearly squealed when the little creature climbed on to her back and fell asleep between her wings. She carried it around proudly all day while the rest of her familiars followed her. At sundown, she brought her herd to their hidden den. The Ringlet shook its head, not wanting her to set it down. Its squeaked as its belly touched the cold floor of the den. Phantom patted its head, telling it everything was alright and she would come back in the morning. It would be safe here.
Making sure she wasn't being followed by one of her siblings, Phantom bounded to the ice den the next morning. She was filled with excitement to spend another day with her newest familiar. When she peered into the den, she was overcome with a sense of dread. Gingerly, she picked up the lifeless form of the Ringlet. Tears began to well in her eyes as she held her new friend's still body in her paws. Falkor heard her sobs and came running to find his daughter. She wanted to push him away, she carried a bitter resentment for her father for allowing her mother and siblings to act the way they did, but as he scooped her up with a steady arm and held her to his chest, she couldn't help but cry into his shoulder. She was still holding the Ringlet close and Falkor knew what had happened. The tiny familiar had frozen to death and his daughter was being crushed under the weight of her own guilt.
He held her tight and let her cry for a long time before whispering to her, "I know how it feels. You just want to protect them. You want to always keep them safe. You do it because you love them, but its a heavy burden to bare." He set her down and helped her stand. "Life goes on. You'll make mistakes, we all do. You're a guardian, a protector. It's in your blood as much as it is mine. It's hard to decide when someone needs your protection and when they just need you to sit back and let them be. It's a line I've learned to balance with your mother and its something you'll learn as you grow with the ones you love." As she listened to his advice she knew he was right... she had spent so much time resenting her family that she had never realized how much like her father she really was. She wiped back her tears and as Falkor left her to herself, she realized that for the first time she felt a sense of pride. She was a guardian. A protector. It was time for her to find her own family to protect, just like her father had.
