Magnus

"Stormtouched"--that's what they called him when they found Magnus alone at the edge of clan Maelstrym's territory, for his eyes said that he was not of the desert, but his colors showed an undeniable resemblance to Lightning Flight's own deity. Wherever he had come from, it was quickly decided that he had been blessed by the claw of Stormcatcher himself, and he would be a powerful addition to the clan.

If Magnus felt differently, he never said.

Sorine, the High Priestess of the clan, requested that the imperial be brought to her immediately once news of his arrival reached her. She was, after all, the highest authority on Flight matters in the clan, and the direct connection to the elemental forces at work in the desert. The ridgeback discussed many things with him privately until the sun had long since disappeared, and when she emerged from the Pylon it was with the announcement that Magnus would be joining her in her work.

The imperial seemed suited for it in every way. His deep, booming voice could be heard from all corners of clan Maelstrym's territory like thunder rolling through the clouds from then on.
