Biography

Theme song "Battle Cries" by Payton Parrish

01/08/2023
It has been an amazing day for Canterbury. Dazzle and Wyrd sleepily made their way out of hibernation and *** brought home another little one, Aikio.

Three daughters, Three.


02/27/2021
It has been quite some time since we checked in on one of our favorite dragons. Canterbury finds he has grown quite content over the last year. He is still uncertain of his future but, has decided it is best to live in the here and now.

He has fallen madly in love with his charge, little Wyrd. She is so much more that she appears. He would give his life for her. She is his forever baby. Oh, how he misses her and Dazzle.

He has thought from time to time about trying to nest with one of the many females at FableHaven but, then he thinks some more and doubt creeps in. He thinks he might make a good father one day.

He would love to nest with Dazzle as she is his very best friend. But, would it work? She and Wyrd decided they wanted a break from the world and went into hibernation. Oh how he aches for them. He misses Dazzle's fun loving antics and naps with his little daughter. 'Daughter?' Had he really thought that? Yes, he had.

***
Sheeva has felt the sadness growing in the mighty Canterbury. Though she hibernates her very soul is connected to her clan. She feels his ache and has sent a dream to Notice. She has seen that far away there is a soul in need of love, care and protection. She has sent Notice on a journey to retrieve said soul.

***
Notice returned from her journey late in the evening and called for a private meeting with Canterbury. As Canterbury entered Notice's quarters, he saw a small bundle tucked up under her table. Two little eyes watched him curiously. He could see in her eyes that she was more than she appeared. He saw wisdom there. Where had he seen that look before? He gulped in a great amount of air as it came to him. Wyrd, it was the same look she had. But, this was not Wyrd. "Her name is Suleika. She needs you, Canterbury. What say you?" Without hesitation Canterbury replied "Yes." And thought to himself. 'I have another daughter.'

***
That night Canterbury and Suleika didn't sleep. He kept her up all night with stories of her new sister and mother. Should he be thinking of Dazzle as their mother? He didn't know. But, his heart danced when he did. He couldn't wait for Wyrd and Dazzle to awaken. He knew they would just love Suleika. Deities knows he already did. Can you fall madly in love this many times?

08/24/2019
For 3 months Canterbury has lived among the FableHaven Clan. It has been wonderful.

He finds himself thinking, now and then, about things he once deemed impossible. Things like family, trust, and maybe a mutual respect. Mutual respect was as close to love as he would ever get. He would never allow love to bind or blind him again.

That's why he cares so much for his best friend, Dazzle. She is great. Happy, fun, just plain full of life and she is a dreamer.

They were paired together by Sheeva his second day here.

She's made him see the world a little bit differently. He's told her things he has never dared to tell anyone else. She has become his cornerstone. An anchor in the turbulence of his life. Has he finally found some semblance of the peace he craves? Maybe one day she can help him to see himself differently as will. Probably not. But, he will take whatever small happiness he could find. Baby steps as they say.

Speaking of baby steps. A new arrival to FableHaven has Canterbury feeling rather out of sorts.

This arrival came in the form of a tiny baby. His "HIS" (and of course also Dazzle's) new ward. What was Sheeva thinking? Has she gone mad. Canterbury is no babysitter. He is a battle hardened warrior. What in name of Sorenth was he going to do. Deities he felt ill. "I need to lie down." he whispered to Dazzle. Who remarked that it was, what had she called it, Wyrd's nap time and that it was a great idea. Umm...


05/24/2019
{"Dazzle, darling!" Sheeva had shouted across the lair.

Oh, great. Now everyone was staring at him. What were they thinking? Could they see the truth of him? Did they know he was a no account beast?

"Ah, Dazzle, my dear. May I introduce Canterbury. Canterbury, this is Dazzle. She will be you guide. She will help you settle in. I have work to do. Dazzle, love. You know what to do. Canterbury, I will meet with Notice later. She is the head of our Coli Teams. She will be in touch soon. Good day, children." Seconds later he was left alone with Dazzle.

He has been with her ever since. Well, except when working.}



05/23/2019
On this day the mighty Canterbury tossed himself on the auction block. Alas, His forever home was not to be.

As always, the FableHaven clan is out to find those in need of a good home. Those, who are unwanted or orphaned. They are welcome here.

And Canterbury with his might and bravery has been welcomed into the League of Warriors. And will join the Elite hunting team. As we see one warrior off to a new home, where he will help many others, we welcome his replacement, Canterbury to the fold.

Canterbury is a mighty warrior who now serves his charge, the FableHaven Clan. His experience in battle has made him a perfect candidate to teach the new recruits who come to the Clan to become better fighters for their cause.

Before joining the Moonlit Clan, Canterbury never had time for a family. He never really enjoyed the company of the fanatical she-dragons who had trailed in his wake.

His aloofness was compounded by the fact that he himself is an orphan; he didn't have parents and as such never trusted himself to become one.

Canterbury is somewhat distant to the other members of the Moonlit Clan. Most usually stay out of his way, content to let his bulk saunter through the crowd.

Trainees usually receive the brunt of his cold personality. While Canterbury will rarely shout, the glare from his Arcane eyes is enough to snap any rebel into shame and fearful respect.

ORIGINS

orAVdfc.png

____Originally a mercenary, Canterbury was a legendary warrior known throughout the Crystalspine Reaches for his bravado and strength. Eventually, there came a day when the mighty drake became bored with his routine. He had a niggling feeling of something missing.
____It came to him in the form of his Search. Being a Guardian, he knew this day would come. With vigour and determination, Canterbury left his birth home and the watch of the Arcanist for the dimness of the Tangled Wood. He found a place to stay with the MidNight Clan for sometime, before moving on to the Sea of a Thousand Currents. There, he found a fledgling Clan with little protection. This was his Charge. From then on, Canterbury has protected and taught the Moonlit Clan many things.

____At first, Canterbury thought he had found his Charge. The Clan was only made up of a few individuals, none of which were able to defend the weaker individuals. So he stayed for several weeks with the MidNight Clan, as they called themselves. During that time, he trained the entire Clan to be able to fight, survive and hunt to remain strong. Not long after, the Clan leader suggested that Canterbury should follow the river to the Moonlit Atoll, where he has now found a forever home.

____Seeking a home Canterbury has moved from clan to clan. And has found himself lost and longing for something, anything more stable. The drama and heartache he faced, has splintered him even more. The pirate Pirra shattering his heart. Love was, is, and always will be a fairy tale. Moonlit Atoll was a nice place to rest his weary body. But, wasn't enough. So without a care in the world he decided he would throw himself at the mercy of the Gods. And placed himself in the servant auctions. Who cares, right? He didn't. He was done. Done with it all. He would just be whatever he was told to be. Maybe then he wouldn't be such a failure.

____He was loud, rude and dishonourable. The thieving Spiral had wriggled his way into the Clan and somehow gained enough favour to be assigned to Canterbury's hunting team. It was not difficult to know that the vagrant was a pirate. His language, clothing and love of rum had rubbed Canterbury's scales the wrong way. But somehow, Canterbury had found himself falling for the rough-and-tumble Spiral. "What in the name of Tidelord and the Arcanist is going on...?"

____Gods how she hated the servant auctions. Sheeva walked the lanes between the stalls. Dragon masters yelled to the crowds. Claiming that their future exaltees were of the finest stock. The future exaltees didn't look happy. This was the servant auction and many of them would have no choice in the matter. Sheeva was repulsed. She believed that a dragon should have a choice. Some, you could tell at a young age were going to be zealots and would relish the honor. Most of these creatures were scared to death.
____She was not here for them however, and continued on her way. There was something or someone here she needed to see. She felt the pull fiercely this day. And she never ignored this feeling. She moved in the direction she was pulled in. Watching everything, seeing nothing, and hearing plenty. She left the exaltee area and entered the mercenary block. THERE!! HIM!! Spotting Canterbury she cut her way quickly to his posting. Curious?! He was not tied. He wasn't bound in anyway. Where was his handler? "Excuse me sirrah, where would your handler be?" Canterbury answered her in a monotone whisper. "I am my own handler, My lady."

No-one knows how Canterbury had become so strong. Some say he was stung by a hydra scorpion at a young age, which caused a strength-related mutation.
