Jax

Jax:
He awoke from the island when the skydancers moved and started using magic in the forest. He lived in the time before Luminax rained chaos. He watches the skydancers now glaring from the shadows, he doesn't know what they're doing in his forest nor can he understand them. He hates the way the magic feels in his bones.

During one of the nights he was creeping around the shadows when a dark shadow flew over head. He watched the moon glint off of silver scales. He could hear her song, it was a beautiful, mournful song. She landed near him and looked him over. His lightning eyes glazed over her and connected with her magic eyes.

"You've been restless many nights now, I don't usually visit this Island but I felt a presence." Her tone was graceful and light. It was light and dreamy. She laid down across from him, her body twisting around the trees with ease. He held his pose though his face had softened. He hadn't understood a voice in so long.

"I've not met a dragon who can understand the language." His voice was very deep and melancholy. She lifted her head curious. He paused before talking again, he wasn't quite used to speaking. "I slept too many years and now, small dragons cause me pain." Her eyes softened even more, he wasn't even sure how it was possible.

"Oh the dear skydancers?" She rested her head again but kept her eyes on him. "They can be a bit noisy but they have deep rests."

"Yet I still feel their pain." His eyebrows furrowed in pain.

"Pain? They aren't casting spells on you are they?"

"Spells? No, they just mess around."

"They're all magic skydancers, Evangeline has them on this island to keep their magic away from the others." Jax's face became confused.

"Evangeline? Others? I've been gone too long but magic, that must be it."

"The magic is causing you a headache? Does it hurt you now?" He nodded, his muscles were tense all over his body. Ever since he awoke the pain throbbed in his skull. She reached a talon out to touch his skull but he flinched away. He glared. She pulled her talon back and surveyed him.

"I should go leave, they could be moving again." He turned away but her voice stopped him.

"Wait, I'm Mael. I help protect the clan from nightmares and insomnia. I could help you get rest?"

"I don't need sleep, it will not do anything for me." He moved away and melted into the shadows. As he walked a shadow soon fell over head blocking out the moons. He looked up and found that she was hovering above him. His face turned into a deeper frown.

"Fly with me?" He looked up at her, studied her, and then kept walking.

"I do not fly." She landed near him again and walked to his side. He began walking and she kept at his side. Her wings brushed his a few times before he spoke.

"You're not normal."

"Well you aren't either certainly." His headache eased each time she touched him.

"Right...I was a guardian." She stopped in her tracks and looked at him.

"You're...a guardian!" She excited opened her wings a bit.

"Yes?"

"So am I." Her face lit up in delight and watched as emotions flashed over his face. It finally rested on relieved.

"That explains it I suppose, im Jax, guardian of the Stygian forest. This one."

"Nice to meet you Jax, Im Mael, Guardian of restful sleep."

The two guardians held their gazes and so the friends bonded.

Jax had once protected the Stygian forest, which was now the crooked forest. It had not been as dark as it was as when he slept the trees grew straight but the skydancers magic awoke him.
