Khan

He was kidnapped from The Ashfall during the same time that Odessa joined willingly; he was much less enthusiastic about the change as opposed to his female counterpart. This constant resistance earned him the rank of Probate - a dragon (or fledgling in this case) that had no name and little freedoms. A rank that stayed with its holder until loyalty and/or usefulness was proven. In all not the best start.

Still, he was a member of the Clan now whether he liked it or not, raised in the ways of the Plaguebringer.

It was on a particularly dark night that the unnamed Guardian perched against a shriveled tree during his assigned duty of keeping watch. Fire-blooded dragons came stumbling in unannounced, clearly sick and festering with some disease his tempered body had grown immune. They asked for help from their "brother" and he denied them.

A deep and throaty voice declared, "I am Plague, and we are stronger than the sickness. May the Plaguebringer take you."

And with that he watched the trio slowly succumb to their infections; all with the same stern expression one will usually find him wearing today. Thus he was deemed "Khan" by Bloodrise and promoted from a Probate to one of the Clan's esteemed Blood Knights - the more elite of the Clan's organized forces.

He is often seen by the side of the Forever-Squire Nova. Some talked of him simply training the high-energy female, but rumors came to be true when the crackle-marked Mirror announced their bonding. Together they have produced many nests, though none of their offspring have stayed save for Astraea.

Khan can still be seen as a stern and snarling beast when around most, but near family one will find him turn into a gentle giant.

Khan paced the room with obsessive actions. Each step he took was a mirror of the last, repeated over and over again until minutes, hours passed. The Guardian's face was a deep lined frown, scaled brow furrowed and lips drawn.

The hall was a busy one, many dragons passing by with subtle sideways glances to the male as they went about their daily chores. He cared little for them, if even aware of their brief presence. No, his mind was completely absorbed into the thoughts and inklings dancing behind his unseeing eyes.

For a good few hours, the Guardian was as thus, pacing back and forth in front of the arch way like a mad beast in its cage. Though, he was neither mad nor caged. Khan was simply lost to the world of his mind. The only thing that broke him out of this hypnotic motion was a familiar voice.

Fire hued eyes blinked as he lifted his great head, body ceasing for the first time in three hours. The lines on his face eased as he looked at the female Mirror, "Yes? Is everything alright?" His deep voice was laced in anxiety.

The female snorted in laughter before moving closer to her massive bull. "You know, for a warring giant, you worry too much. Everything is fine." The male didn't adhere to her words, "But she said they could hatch any moment now. Shouldn't you be watching them?"

Again the female chuckled, looking up at the face of her mate, "They're fine, you worry wort. I didn't leave them alone." She grasped the muscled forelimb of the Guardian and held him close. He responded in turn by drawing his wide head along hers. Suddenly, he pulled back, apprehension lining his features. "Wait, who are they left with?"

Without much pause, Nova shrugged saying in such a casual tone, "Oh, Minos was there so I told him I was stepping away for a moment." No sooner had she said this than utter fear and shock filled the bull, "You left Minos!? He's an idiot! He'll crush them in one of stunts to show off!"

The snickering of the Mirror called for the now frowning beast to look down at his mate. "Khan, you know I would never leave them alone with Minos. Styx was there checking up on things and I asked her to stay a while so I could fetch you. You have half the clan worried about you with your pacing and all. Now, come on, mister, and welcome your babies into the clan."

She gave a few tugs on the trunk of an arm, feeling him move to follow, and trotted with a giddy expression back to the nesting ward. Khan followed with slightly nervous steps; though this wasn't his first clutch, this would be the first time he witnessed their hatching.

Once the pair entered the room, they were beckoned over to one occupied nest by a female Pearlcatcher. 'Hurry! They're moving and I think one squeaked!" She clasped her paws and Nova rushed over while Khan hesitated. He seemed rooted in place by an invisible force. Again Styx waved to him, "Come on, or you'll miss it."

Finally his massive limbs carried him the rest of the way to the nest's edge, ember eyes peering down at the four eggs. One wiggled every few moments while another seemed to quiver ever so slightly. It filled the male's chest with tense excitement and he glanced over to see Nova bend close to the eggs and speak softly to them. It warmed his soul to see his love so tender, and he, too, bent his massive head to welcome the first of this clutch into the world as a crack showed on one of the eggs, small chirps sounding back to the love soaked voices of its parents.
