Backstory by (???)

Sparky had spent his entire life on a boat made of icicles. He and his mother were stranded and Sparky was too heavy to carry and too young to fly. They spent years there because of the lack of places to learn the ways of flight.

It was on Sparky’s 7th birthday (my clan runs on 1 month =1 year) he was abandoned by his own mother. Sparky cried and cried knowing he would die. The only meat he got was what his mother caught, whales and such. Now he would never get a pet Chipskink like the ones in his dreams.

This did not stop young Sparky, he was a tiny spiral but a determined spiral. He missed his family he missed his blanket in which was made of his mother made from shedded scales. Rhea how I miss you!

Sparky finally made his move, he leaped into the air flapping his wings like his mother had taught. He went slightly up then started falling. He moved his tail up and down bobbing his head. He was able to stay a few feet above sea level. Sparky kept this strategy for a little less than a hour before he was too tired to continue. He held his breath and fell deep into the artic ocean. He struggled but the cold water freezed his ice eyes.

Sparky turned into a icicle that floated to the surface! He became unconscious by then but still was breathing slightly. Sparky was running out of air in the few gaps in his frozen body.


Meanwhile Rhea Sparky’s mother was flying back to the icicle happy to have gathered a chipsink plushie for Sparky’s birthday. What Rhea found made her shocked. Her son was gone! Rhea dropped the chipsink toy on the icicle and with her claws carved a message. “Dear, Sparky. This is your mother Rhea. I love you and happy birthday but where are you? I am out searching if you see this stay put! —with love mom.” Rhea grabbed the blanket which she had turned into a boots for her son and put them on. Rhea then launched into the air in search of her beloved son.


Sparky almost dead now was awake and squinting out through the ice into the son. He was almost frozen and almost dead of the loss of air. His eyes were shrinking and the sun in his eyes we’re blinding. Sparky could no longer move though through his weakness.


Sparky closed his eyes for... the last time? But no! Rhea had smelled her son and found her way to the icicle. She banged her claws into the ice breaking air holes. She then carved a heart and made that fall out making enough space for Sparky to slip out.

Rhea closed her eyes as she heard a big thump. She knew that the sharp ice had fell onto Sparky. Using all her might Rhea pulled Sparky up and tried to fly with him. She fell into the water with her son.
"NO!” Rhea was able to choke out through the water. She did all she could and pulled Sparky up before either of their bodies could freeze. She placed Sparky on the icicle he had beeen trapped in and got all the water out of him. Rhea shook her son awake and cried in relief that her spiral son was alive. Rhea then noticed how ice cold Sparky’s face was. She put on his boots on his arms and those stayed their the rest of his life.

Sparky stared at his mother in astonishment and whispered. “You did not leave me...” Rhea hugged him affectionately and whispered back, “hush my dear.” Rhea then pushed the icicle to the icicle in which had been the son and mother’s home for 7 years.

Sparky was sad to say goodbye to his mother who had flew home to the windswept plateau but Sparky needed to stay away, from his dead father’s presence. Sparky traveled to the tangled woods where he slept fondly each and every night with his plushie. Sparky learned that his new home in Heatherscope, would be alright.
