Valshe

Keep

My name is Valshe I came to this layer as a dragon chick. Fell in love and grew as a father and a grandfather. Now I am old and here is my story:

"Hi there. My name means North I wondered from my layer and am A little lost. can I stay for a while just until I find my way back home. I have three children who are waiting for me at home."

While wandering, Valshe happened upon Quetzal, a prim and proper looking coatl. He explained his situation to her, and Quetzal explained how he had arrived in the fire territory. He was invited to her homegrounds, and once he arrived at Setyrlite Alliance, rather appalled by how hot the conditions were there. Though he was in good company, he knew that this place was not his home; thus, he continued onward.

Valshe's next stop was at the Sunbeam Ruins. He stayed with a group of mirrors and skydancers who were curious about the only tundra dragon in the area, and Valshe did his best to represent his kind well. After some time, though, he began to feel lonely and decided to venture on.

Arriving at the wandering contagion, Valshe met with a small clan of many different dragons. He befriended some of the other tundras, and mat Edolan, another traveler who had decided to stay here. Valshe decided that this creepy plague clan was not meant for him, and after a short rest, was back on his way. Good luck Valshe!

Valshe wandered over to the Viridian Labyrinth where he hung out with a lair full of Fae. There he met Coira and Nolan who were more than happy to fill him with a hot meal. Valshe traded stories with them about the outside world and the freedom he has been enjoying. However the tropical heat in the Viridian Labyrinth became more than he could bear and he decided to move forward.

He took a rest in the Wispwillow Grove where a territorial Mirror kept watch. It was nice enough there. He slept and ate well, but could not settle in. Valshe found it to be too busy and decided to move on after telling a few stories to the hatchlings.

As he found his way to the Windswept Plateau, Valshe stumbled upon a battle-hardned Guardian called Zuri, who welcomed him to stay with the clan, even temporarily. Zuri took a liking to Valshe, and proved to be a tireless flirt despite her gruff exterior. Reminded of his children back home, and tiring of the ceaseless winds in the Reedcleft Ascent, Valshe decided to move on.

Valshe found himself home again. With his children grown. Eyeli his eldest told him his grandson Tulio had heard of his adventures and gone out looking for him. Valshe promised his son that he would find Tulio and bring him home.

Backtracking first across the Windswept Plateau, Valshe found a small and growing clan nested in the Zephyr Steppes. With eggs hatching left and right, Valshe helped bring the clan to a new and larger home in the Reedcleft Ascent. With the clan safely moved, Valshe decided it was time for him to move on as well, and continue his quest to find his grandson Tulio.

Valshe had once again found himself in the Viridian Labyrinth. Just as he was about to leave the humid jungle he found a clan within the Shrieking Wilds. Dragons of all kinds lived together, including a group of tundra! Valshe befriended a girl named Chai who was as playful as a kitten. The two of them spent much time in the shade and Chai listened to Valshe's grand adventures, all while developing a fondness for him. Over time Valshe shared with Chai stories about his own family and his search for his grandson. Although Valshe's time in the Viridian Labyrinth was much more pleasant this time around, he left Chai and their two offspring in hopes of fulfilling his promise to his son.

Much to his chagrin, he accidentally circled back to the Reedcleft Ascent. There Valshe met a Pearlcatcher named Onra. Though her eyes boasted Arcane, she led him to a Wind clan that welcomed him eagerly. They shared their food stores and allowed him rest for his journey. Sadly, they knew nothing of Tulio and were unable to give any hints of where his grandson might have gone. After a couple days, Onra escorted him back beyond her clan's territory, wishing him the best of luck for the remainder of his quest.

Still intent on completing his quest, information gleaned from other dragons led Valshe back into the dark realm of Shadow. Tulio was rumored to be in a clan Valshe himself had visited but found himself face to face with a circuit Skydancer who was bubbly one moment and disturbing the next and her best friend a rather large, crackling Guardian. They admitted never having met Tulio but the mention of the clan sparked some recognition. They invited him to rest at their lair for awhile and then escorted him to the clan Tulio was staying with.

At first sight of his grandson Valshe was overjoyed. Little Tulio had grown into a handsome Tundra. He could not stop himself from taking to the air only to swoop back down and catch Tulio in a rib creaking hug. However being so close allowed him to note the little details he had missed from the other side of the lair and it tugged at his heart. Young Tulio's coat was beginning to dull and his weight could be better. He knew there was no lack of food in this lair so he suspected his grandson was heartsick. He took him under his wing and tried to convince him to return home. Tulio's eyes regained their luster as their conversation went on. He spoke of his own children and a daughter who had caught the wandering spirit. He was not ready to return home, but expressed great love and gratitude to Valshe for finding him and reminding him there were many other realms out there to explore.

After spending a few days with Tulio in the lair, Valshe decided that he should get going. He debated on returning to his home as well but went back to the Lionne Clan in order to express his thanks.
