Biography
The eclipse had come just as predicted. As evening dawned upon Sornieth, thousands of dragons gathered to watch - looking through telescopes, camping on the large plains in the Windswept Plateau and even standing at the peak of the Great Furnace. Eclipses were very rare in Sornieth and it was considered immensely lucky if a dragon could see an eclipse once in their long lifetime.
In the Sunbeam Ruins, the Clan was gathered, like all others in the Light territory, at the Beacon of the Radiant Eye. The Beacon was large and tall and positioned at the edge of the bay, giving the dragons a wide and unobstructed view of the solar eclipse.
As the time ticked closer to the time of a full eclipse, the entire population seemed to be holding their breath. When the moon finally covered the sun such that it looked like a black hole with light spilling from its edges, there was much jubilation.
Then the glowing dot appeared, growing larger with each second of a full eclipse. Slowly, as the dragons watched, it grew, and gradually morphed into the shape of a small Fae. The Fae-like dragon glowed with the light from the sun and in fact, she seemed to be like the sun itself.
This phenomenon had been reported happening for a long time already. Every time an eclipse occured, the princess of firmament would appear - a figment of the sun itself. No one knew who she was, what her name was, they just knew she appeared on Sornieth with a regal air and and her movements were so graceful she seemed like a holy angel.
And once again, just like the tales that had been passed down across generations, the princess leaped down to Sornieth, her halo glowing so brightly the passing dragons had to advert their eyes. There was an intense silence around her, as if the quietness and serenity of all of space had come down to Sornieth along with her. As she flew across the various territories and leaving a bright trail like a fallen comet, a single word was whispered and passed around:
“Helia.” “Helia.” “Helia.”
An astronomer and his apprentice sat on the roof of the observatory, looking through the telescope just as the wave of murmurs reached their ears.
“The princess of the firmament...Helia?” asked the younger dragon.
“Helia, meaning the sun,” his teacher answered.
“Where did she come from?”
“I think it’s a very long story. I think it has something to do with comets and the sun and the moon.”
Yes. A calm, soft whisper, breaking the conversation between the astronomer and his apprentice. They looked up and the glow was right before them - the princess of firmament, embodiment of the sun, right before their very eyes.
The Fae swished her long silks in a hypnotic pattern, her yellow eyes blinking slowly. When she spoke, her mouth barely moved, and her voice seemed cool, soft and curious all at the same time.
I was born when the a comet collided with the sun, she whispered, her eyes facing forward but looking into the distance, as if recalling a distant memory. The comet formed my body and the sun cast its power and light onto me. Thus I was born, and I come every eclipse to take the sun’s place while it is covered by the moon.
Then, with a swish of her silks, she was gone, racing to the sky where she belonged. A dim trail of golden sparkles were the only sign that she had been here.
As the timer ran out at the full eclipse ended, the silhouette of the princess appeared for the final time on the moon, then the glow winked out, and the night was silent again.
