ever since she learned how to talk, iya always questioned everything around her at an early age with a specific focus on the traditions of her clan. she loved to read history books, about past seers famous for having predicted some calamity, or warriors of old that warded off deadly invaders. listening to elders' tales was her favorite thing to do, and found gratification in her queries being given fantastical answers.
but soon her questions became to be less childish innocence and moreso sharp inquiries, ones that began to make senior dragons uncomfortable. she became agitated when she was always brushed off, or denied access to texts that only those in high power in her clan had access to. she snuck into the archives anyways. and what did she discover, you might wonder? the childhood epics she lived and breathed, of those glorious dragons and brave heroes her clan laid claim to, were lies. many simply made up to boost their clans' status among other water-flight lairs. horrified by what she found, she had decided to run away and unknowingly taking one of the books as she fled from the guards that were alerted to an intruder (which became her familiar). she swam as far as she can, wanting to get away from the place that she once called home, and landed on shores near the Apericus Alcove. a concerned guardian hatchling found her unconscious form and carried her to be nursed back to health by tala and otonyo. there was no intention on staying long; she knew she had to get more distance between her and her birth clan. until one day familiar faces had decided to pass by and forced her into hiding in one of the alcove's rooms. she managed to eavesdrop in on the conversation, the visiting dragons asking tala and otonyo if they so happened to see a hatchling anywhere with overly concerned attitudes. she's gotten lost, see, they claimed. and they were there to look for her and take her back home. iya braced herself to be exposed, braced for the coatls that she barely knew to fall for their deception and offer her up on a silver platter. she was not expecting for tala to deflect the inquiries. she was not expecting otonyo to back up his mate by threating a fight when they insisted on snooping around. she was not expecting them to offer her a new home and a promise to keep her safe. |

time passed and iya finds herself to have a home once more. but this time the stories she encounters are ones embedded with truth, with integrity and faithfulness. yes, they are not as adventurous or dynamic as the ones she grew up on in her former clan, but she had come to find that as a comfort. besides, with her new duty as a Grigori she finds enough action to satiate any wishes she has for danger when she goes into battle. in the time she spent living in the alcove so far, she is proud to witness its' growth. an heiress has been established, new generations had been born, peace reigned in the place she now called home. (iya dared to muse that it would be a place she would be happy to even spend her dying days in, should the time ever come.) and yet she found herself facing a dilemma when her brother in all but blood confided to her one day. a new alliance desired to make a trading of dragons, aman told her. one that desired an exchanging of wards. it was not hard to understand why he would appear shaken by that. he had just become a father and iya knew of his history with fear of being seperated from things that are important — and his daughters are very valuable to him indeed. "i do not know what to do," he whispered, and it unsettled her to see him so unsure of himself, used to seeing him as unshakable and steadfast. "i cannot...I will not jeopardize this for kalabasa, for tala, for the Alcove — but my daughter..." "I'll do it.” the words were out of her mouth before she knew it. normally iya would cringe at how no matter she ages, she forever remains hasty in some things. but somehow, this felt right. and once iya gets an idea, she stays true to it. so it did not matter how much aman begged her to reconsider, that he appreciates the thought but cannot ask that of her. it did not matter how much gentle probing tala would try to do for her to think it through, because she already did. the alcove had given her a chance at happiness, a safe place to learn and laugh and make memories she'll hold close to her heart. one that she would not have if not for that fateful encounter, so long ago. she will not rob a young one of the chance to experience and love and thrive as she had. so when the day of the exchange arrived, she was the first to be on the agreed meeting spot. iya didn't look away from the water and kept her eyes locked on the figures that broke through the surface and approached her party. "I was under the assumption I was to receive a hatchling." she wondered if she should've felt afraid with how the larger imperial circled and eyed her with sharp eyes. "but I am not against to this new...development. I recognize your eyes, girl. you come from the depths originally, did you not?" iya didn't dare blink as she was now staring at those eyes head on, only opting to raise her chin a bit with a half smile, half baring of teeth. "and now I choose to return to them." she heard tala's sharp intake of breath behind her when the other imperial reared her head back, eyes flashing. awaiting a jab for her cheek, it was safe to say she was pleasantly surprised when the cove's leader laughed instead. "oh, you have spirit! I can appreciate that." there was no comfort found in the approving glint in her eyes. "yes...yes, you will do just fine indeed." the headbutt was gentler than she expected, and iya felt herself be turned to face the party she came with. "say your goodbyes but do be hasty about it, darling. it is no short journey back." it was not easy, to press herself against the warmth of the dragons that had raised her and loved her and grew up alongside her and know that it could be the last time she can ever do it. a part of her wanted to turn and run, to flee from the waters as she had before. but then she saw that little Sampaguita had somehow snuck along, peeking out from behind her father's leg with wide eyes. iya felt the urge to abscond vanish, and be replaced with a surge of nothing but pure love as she knelt down to gently headbutt her. "will you be coming back?" wide eyes looked up at her, and iya took a deep breath and tried to give as brilliant of a smile as she can. "i'm not sure, little flower. maybe, maybe not." at the distraught look on the hatchling's face iya nudged her a little more firmly. "but! you'll be good while I'm gone, right? i'll have plenty of stories to share if you do." the little guardian nodded, and burrowed further into iya's larger form. she closed her eyes and soaked up the feeling as much as she can, basking in the mid-morning sun and the presence of the ones she had come to call her own. tried to commit this to her memory. when her name was called she bottled that warmth up and mentally tucked it away, holding it close as already she missed them with each step she took towards the shore. nontheless, iya kept her head held high and her gait straight. right before she dived into the oncoming wave she paused. thought to look back for one more goodbye. 'no.' but iya didn't, instead just squaring her shoulders before diving into the waters. 'that's not like me to look back. never was.'
