Oszkar’s arrival into the clan:
From a distance two green balloons could be seen hovering at a steady pace across the still water of the sea. One of the balloons was still full of helium, the other balloon deflated and caught in its strings, being dragged along unwillingly. A group of young hatchlings waded the water, observing the foreign objects. The hatchlings conversed with each other about the floating orb and it’s possible origins. Wind dragons were known for creating these things, they always end up in the ocean after they run out of air, littering their beautiful ocean. But it was odd to see one still intact. One brave hatchling decided to tread closer to get a better look. As the hatchling came closer, the shapes became more distinct. What he saw made him scream to his troop for help. The balloon wasn’t a balloon it was a spirit, and the wilted balloon wasn’t a balloon at all, it was a small little coatl tangled messily in the familiar’s tail. The children pulled and detangled the two from each other. The familiar seemed relieved, as it tiredly collapsed into the water. The group hurriedly carried the exhausted pair to their elders, in desperation to save them both. Dragging them onto the shore the little coatl regained a moment of consciousness. Before he slipped back into the darkness he uttered something worrisome. “I can’t fly.”
