Biography

Bolt
A Thousand Tricks
laughter on the wind

Long ago, a spiral dragon wandered alone in the sky. He flew amongst the stars and saw the curve of the earth, over the forests and mountains that covered the world. He was quick and cunning, and no trap or trick could hold him for long; not the Tangled Wood with its flickering shadows, nor the Shifting Expanse with its crackling lightning, or even the Scarred Wasteland that is known to all dragons as the land of bones and death. This dragon's name was Bolt, and he loved nothing more than a good trick; and he had seen so many wonders of the world that even he could not count them.

Now Bolt was traveling one day until he came to a land familiar to him; the Starfall Isles, where he had come into being. It pleased him to see the land of his birth and he descended to the earth to revisit his homeland. But no sooner had he set foot on the ground than he was greeted by another dragon, a female blue-and-pink fae with large eyes. Bolt stopped and looked at the small dragon, but before he could speak she spoke to him.

"Bolt," she said. "I know you. The other dragons have told me of your tricks; they say you are quick and cunning, with a thousand friends and a thousand enemies. Some liken you to a star fallen to earth; others say you are the son of a god. But I have come to fetch you, Trickster, and to take you home. "

"Well," Bolt said, very amused—for he always liked to hear what others were saying about him. "It is true that I am quick and cunning, and that I enjoy a good trick. But you are mistaken on the last bit—I have no home. I go where the wind takes me, and I make my living off what I can get—or steal, if it comes to it—I can't think why you want to take me anywhere. I certainly don't remember you, and I don't think I would forget."

"You have forgotten," said the fae simply. "I am sorry. I really am very sorry if you don't remember. You are Arcane, and no trick will change that. Stardust is in our blood, the brightness of the Arcanist is in our eyes. Both of us are His children, and He doesn't forget."

This was said with such calmness and confidence that Bolt faltered for a moment. But he was still clever and quick, and he soon said: "Ha! I don't think I've forgotten anything. I am Bolt, the dragon of the thousand winds and tricks, and I go where I please and lair where I choose. And I don't think I shall be returning here. Good day!" And with that he prepared to spread his long body and take to the sky.

But there was a sudden sound like ringing of bells, and the fae glowed with a sudden light. It seemed, to Bolt, that she was changed, that her hide had suddenly become crystalline pink, and that the brand of the Arcanist glowed on her forehead. And she called to him in an ancient voice quite different than before: "I think differently, lost hatchling. You came here, carried on the wind, because it was I who willed it be so; and I say it is time for you to grow up and stop your childish ways. Your lair shall be here, in the Starfall Isles, and your nest shall be among the dragons of your Clan; your cunning and strength shall be devoted to others instead. This I have asked of you; do you understand?"

Bolt knew, just as every dragon knows when they are called, who was speaking to him. "Yes, Star-father," he said, bowing very low to the ground, brought down at last. "Yes, I understand." and his body shook with fear and some misery, because his heart was restless and he did not want to stop his roving ways. But seeing his great sadness, the other dragon took pity on him.

"Look upon yourself in that pool of water," said the fae, the Arcanist's accomplice. And Bolt suddenly perceived that his scales were glittering with stardust and his eyes were shining with a holy light, and he sprang up and flew upwards for the joy of it, the wind yielding to his will. Behind him the ancient voice echoed: "You have traveled the world and learned the ways of many, but to your home you must return. I have blessed you, and to this new Clan you shall be the cornered thinker, the swiftest flier, the crafty planner who perseveres when all seems lost. Roam if you wish, once in a while, but return home at the end of your flights to teach others your ways so that they will never be tricked or trapped, and remember that you are of the Arcane."

Bolt circled in the clouds, rejoicing in his newfound speed, and returned to the ground; by then, the fae's radiance had faded and she looked like an ordinary dragon once more. But although the Arcanist had stopped speaking through her, Bolt remembered His words, and gladly went with her to the Starfall Isles, where a Clan was about to be born.
