Mithral

---

Mithral is our first healer and as such, she took the head of the Academy of Alchemy she founded with her apprentice and now co-worker, Nasthewen, and the clan's alchemists. The clan members know very well they're in good talons when they come to the Academy to be diagnosed and cured !

Becoming a healer and finding love
Mithral was drown to healing by necessity more than by choice, but it revealed a true calling. At that time, the clan was still new and a few young dragons joined, some in order to offer their services as Flight Representants. Mithral joined the clan the same day as the future Lightning Flight Representant, Vesperale, who quickly became her best friend, and a snobbish Imperial, Ealynis. Both he and Mithral were more interested in what the small Mage College had to teach them, and joined the lessons of clan leaders Sedewus and Welgan. The haughty and self-centered Ealynis was then merely an unpleasant fellow to her and she and Vesperale were avoiding him and his arrogance.
However, when he came back to the doors of clan, severly injured and on the verge of dying after fighting and vainquishing a shade-touched beast, faced with the urgency, she let her antipathy aside and hurried by his side.
Spending her days and nights taking care of him and researching a way to cure the lost of magic induced by the fight, she discovered her knack for healing magic and what would be her place in the clan. But she also discovered another Ealynis : hurt, afraid of future et lost. Healing is not only curing body and harmonizing mana flows, it's also appeasing the mind. She embraced her new vocation and dedicated herself wholeheardly to his case. She learned to know him, and she helped him to recover and to grow as dragon. His magic didn't seem to come back, despite all their efforts, and learning to live with this disability profoundly changed him. By the time he was able to go back to work, they were close friends.
Mithral began to organize a little clinic under her direction, encouraged by the clan leaders and clan manager, and used her free time to keep on studying Ealynis' loss of magic, in hope of finding something that might help him recover.
One day, after another failed attempt, she broke down in front of him, exhausted after she worked so hard on it for nothing ; and he confessed his love to her. She nestled against him, crying. During the following days, she gradually realized how much her feelings for him had changed while she was taking care of him, and they've been married a while after.

The Academy of Alchemy
Mithral quickly began to work a lot with Cosmos the alchemist for the clinic, and when she took Nasthewen as apprentice, the bogsneal took her dragonfriend Achiel as his own, they decided to turn the clinic into the Academy Alchemy. There, the alchemist of the clan create potions and medicine for the ill and injured, and the healers and doctors treat patients with their products and magic. When there is no need for a physician, the healers work on researches (since Ealynis, several other members joined the clan with special ailments) and the alchemists develop diverse new recipes.

Trivia
Mithral is a bird lover, and enjoys to relax by going bird watching with her friend Amaziel. She however prefers magic birds, and even trained a few of them to help in the Academy of Alchemy.

Formerly an Imperial, the threat of unpredictable death and risk of turning into an Emperor convinced her to o through the long and difficult ritual of breed changing. She elected Skydancer as her new form, both to become closer to her adoption flight and to benefit of their empathy powers to help her heal her patients (and to help her understand her husband when he's trying to hide feelings behind his usual distant expression).

Husband: Ealynis

Ealynis is grumpy and withdrawn, but he's also deeply in love, and Mithral is proud of the efforts he made to change and become his better self. She knows he needs her, and she's ready to love him unconditionnaly as long as he needs it - for their whole life, as they both hope, but Mithral is secretly worried that her life will be longer than Ealynis', granted that Imperials' death is unpredictable.
She's still researching the way to cure his magic loss. Her current most promising hypothesis involves sharing magic with clanmates, a solution inspired by their children, who were born with several cases of feeble and instable magic (most of them joined the Windsinger or other clans). This solution may especially work at Clan Ogrenat after the great protection ritual who put everyone asleep until they regenerate their magic, as every clan member shared one mana channel with the others during the ritual. The natural ability of clan leader Sedewus to spread harmony among his clan may even be impregnating the very earth in Clan Ogrenat's territory, making magic sharing within the members a natural ability.

Friends

Vesperale Best friend They often meet at the Laughing Dodo Inn for a drink and gossip sharing.

Nasthewen Apprentice and co-worker Mithral is worried about her tendancy to use questionnable means to acheive her goals, but she's glad to have such a talented healer by her side.

Amaziel Fellow bird enthusiast She was sad to hear he had a crush on her but didn't dare to say a word before Ealynis did ; but she's glad he found love in his epistolary relationship with Sévigné.

Cosmos Excentric head of the Alchemists and co-director of the Academy of Alchemy. He's weird but Mithral likes his enthusiasm : he makes the gloomy days brighter.
