Octavia

Currently on permanent route. Send me forward to anybody you think would enjoy having a wandering trader stay over.
Hi! I'm Octavia. I traveled so much as a hatchling that it felt natural for me to become a traveling merchant. I love meeting new dragons and see new places. I also enjoy haggling and a lively discussion. Other dragons say I'm a big flirt, but that's not a bad thing is it? My permanent home is Voronwis clan, so send me there if you feel I overstayed my welcome.

Have look at my wares, maybe you'll find something you like:

Part one

The travels continue:

WiggyCat's Clan 01/03/18 - 08/03/18

Flying along and wondering why she hasnt gotten there yet Octavia suddenly has to back-flap in order to avoid injury, potentially losing an appendage and gaining a massive headache. The Fortress Spire looms in front of her nose by a mere couple of inches. Not sure why it is not lit up like always Octavia slowly flaps backwards and then starts her descent, staying clear of the beautiful pale blue hoarfrost. It is rumored that any dragon that touches it will lose that appendage as the hoarfrost is so cold. The last thing Octavia wants is to lose a toe.

Voice: WATCH OUT, YOURE COMING IN TOO FAST!

Slowing down Octavia comes to a screeching halt and just manages to not take out Isabella as she stops. Rather embarrassed Octavia apologises, but all is well, Isabella explains the glowbugs have lost power and she was just off to Octavias clan for a week, shes tired of the blizzard and wants some warmth. The dragons hug and exchange stories quickly about where they have been sincce their last adventures.

Isabella: I think all of the snow falling has been beautiful but it has also caused a great deal of havoc, I mean I came back earlier, out my washing on and then boom out went all the electrics, all of my thicker clothes are stuck in the washer. Our resident fire breathers are keeping the springs nice and hot though so if youre after a bath or relax its all still good.
Octavia: Oh I am sorry to hear of your washing and typical. Oh brilliant, thanks I could do with warming up, my toes are frozen.

With that the dragons hug and head off in seperate directions. Octavia heads to her room, drops her stuff and then heads down to the hot springs. Along the way the rest of the clan accompany Octavia and are all super excited to hear of her travels. Some dragons have been in the springs already and well are a little pruney, clearly they have been in for a while. Looking round Octavia notices that 2 dragons are missing then hears an interesting noise, followed by "CANNONBALL" and in dives ClaudiaOctavia. Splashing about an excited bogsneak swims up and hugs her mother tight. Suddenly another yell is heard and yet again another splash and a grinning bogsneak male appears. Precious grins like a demented dragon and swims over to hug Octavia. After pleasantries and some disgruntled mumbles Octavia tells the clan of her tales since her last visit. All in awe and completely captivated they dont notice the water has gone cold. Time for everyone to get out and have a feast.

After the feast Octavia and Precious go upto her room and snuggle on the bed for a while before falling asleep. The tangled mess of dragons looks like some experiment gone wrong. At some point in the middle of the night the dragonstalk flew in and left an impressive clutch of 5 eggs for the pair to nurture. In the morning they discovered the eggs and overjoyed with happiness and excitement they headed off to tell the rest of the clan what great joy had been bestowed upon them in the night.

Days later there was a strange sound coming from Octavias chambers, a noise similar to ice cracking could be heard. Octavia was told immediately and the entire clan rushed to see what was going on. Rushing as fast as they could in case the spire was sttarting to come apart the entire clan made it to her chambers in record time and almost ended up in a heap. Five baby dragons sat there nomming their tails and looking very pleased with themselves. Four bogsneaks and one nocturne. The clan let out a unanimous "awwww" when they saw them. Octavia and Precious made their way through the crowd of dragons and scooped up the babies and hugged them tight. The rest of the clan said their congratulations and left the pair to their new hatchlings.

Oops Octavias alarm hadnt gone off and she slept an entire day! Looking after 5 new babies is exhausing work. Packing her things she leaves the babies with Precious, says her goodbyes to the clan and heads out to the landing/take off pad. Outside is a lovely frosty day with the sun shining and a wopping +3 degrees. about as warm as it ever gets at the spire. With the ice and snow glistening Octavia waves at the clan and they wave back, flapping her beautiful wings she flies off back to the warmth of the Molten Scar.

Octavia was flying high in the sky above the Windswept Plateau. Everything was going alright (if you didn't count the Twisting Crescendo spinning anticlockwise), and she felt like a visit to the Frozen Wind Clan - the Windflight Clan had been re-named, she had heard, and they had a new leader now, Whitewing. She flew lower and lower until the familiar Bamboo Plaza came into sight. She landed slowly and gracefully and was soon greeted by her old friends Diamond and Ripple, randomly looking at the blue sky. Soon joined by the rest of the clan and the new arrivals Whitewing and Moonbeam, they shared stories of their adventures together and lots of laughs. Octavia learned the new Clan rules and some customs that had come around after she'd left the Clan the last time she visited. Her son Tom was especially happy to see her, and her mate Brownie was too. The dragons also traded quite a bit, and both Octavia and the Clan were happy with their new things.

Sadly, Octavia had to return early again because Undine and Adelind's nest was about to hatch. The Clan promised Octavia she could have one of the hatchlings to raise, though. The clan l waved goodbye to Octavia, hoping they could see each other again soon.



Octavia glided down into a tent filled clearing, known locally as the Wispwillow Grove. Unsure of herself, she stopped, nervous as she felt unseen eyes bore into her thick, brown hide. Unbeknownst to her, a flap on one of the many tents around her was opened by a feathered night sky wing and a separate fae whizzed out.
BOO!
"By Our Mother's sweet goo, you really must stop scaring the visitors Juniper!" A silky voice eminated from the mouth of the starry winged skydancer, directed at the cheeky fae, "Come on now, both of you come inside, Octavia is it? Yes, yes, you must be tired after your journey, and hungry too I bet, but first I must introduce you to my mate, and clan co-leader, Fringe."
Bewildered, Octavia could do nothing but follow the skydancer into the tent.
“Oh, how rude of me, my name is Genius, I’m the resident seer/priestess here at the wispwillow grove, and I do apologise for the mess, we just moved in.”

In the center of the tent, a gold-tinted bogsneak reclined, adorned with gold armour and silks, “Hello there, you must be Octavia the travelling merchant, yes?”

Over the next week Octavia learned many things about the culture and background of the Rising Moon Clan, helped to look after the many hatchlings that were born in and passed through the clan and listen to the tales told by the members of the Stygian Uprising, who were hired to help with a small pest problem.

Octavia's wings started to tire after leaving the Clan of the Rising Moon, so she decided to give her wings a break. She landed on the ground in the middle of the Everbloom Gardens. A young Fae ran out of nowhere, stopping right in front of her. The young Fae looked to be only a few days old.
"Hi missus!!! My name's Revyn! OOPS!!! Pluto's coming!!" He squealed, and darted behind her. Another Fae dragon darted out from nowhere, he looked about the same age. As soon as he got into sight, he saw Revyn and flew over Octavia and pounced on Revyn.
After the two rolled around for a minute, a tree-like skydancer walked out from the same area the other two appeared from.
"PLUTO! REVYN!" the skydancer called out, they both jolted before hiding behind Octavia. The skydancer looked at Octavia, seeming to just realize her existence.
"OH! Hello madam! I'm Sequoia, I apologize for anything these two have done." Octavia laughed, shaking her head.
Sequoia motioned for the two young faes to follow her, but neither would budge. Instead, Revyn turned toward her. "Can you come with us Missus??" She laughed once more and looked at Sequoia who just shrugged and motioned for her to come. "if you want." She then disappeared into the nearby thickets. Revyn grinned and started to tug her into the thickets, which then opened into a large cavern.

A much larger Fae appeared in front of Octavia. "Hello! My name's Lichen. I'm the clan leader, and the mother of these three." The two talked for a few minutes, and Octavia decided to set up a temporary shop with the new clan. And Revyn decided to hang out around her temporary shop, learning, the whole time.
