Embrace

Also by Achi:

Embrace is a dragon who has always been sensitive to the emotions of others. From a young age, she has always known the feelings of others and been drawn to strong, powerful emotions. One day, she felt the strongest emotion of her life: a love so strong that it stopped her in her tracks. Tears rolled down her cheeks from the sheer beauty and purity of the feeling and when she was finally able to move again, Embrace made a promise to find the dragon who had made her feel true love for the first time. Following the feeling, she walked to the edge of a cliff. Embrace could tell she was close, but the emotion seemed to be coming from below. She squinted and tried to look down and see where it was coming from, but in the Lightweaver's brilliant light, it was impossible to truly see the waters below.

She hesitated, unsure of what she should do, but then gathered the bravery to jump from the cliff. Algae, who was looking up at the Lightweaver, saw the falling skydancer and caught her just as she hit the water. He was puzzled, unable to understand why Embrace had jumped, but she just smiled and announced, "I will love you." And to this day, she does.
