Flit

"CONTENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION"
Flit was born under the canopy of the tree known as the Behemoth. Her upbringing was full of lessons and regimented schedules. She was to be a progenitor, and so being, it was on her wings, to create and carry her new family into the future and the glory of the Gladekeeper. During her arrangement ceremony she was nervous and fidgety. The Female Progenitors are never told whom they will be paired with, that is up to the Gladekeeper herself.

When she is called up her heart jumped and and she felt sick to her stomach. She fluttered out to the stage and awaited the Glade keeper to call out her mate to meet her out in front of the crowd. She called out the name 'Alpha'. Alpha is a name of power. A word known as the beginning. The beginning of what she wondered. Of greatness? A family? Love?

As he came into view she attempted to hide her disappointment. He was a mirror. She had imagined a mate of every breed there was. A tundra mate would have offered warmth and comfort, a guardian would have offered strength and protection. She had thought of almost any shortcoming. Except this. She had never thought the Gladekeeper would have chosen a Mirror to carry a nature flight. Mirrors were the creation of the Plaguebringer. The thought brought a shiver that threatened to make her shutter and drop the fake look of happiness she now had plastered on her face. Was this to be her life? The mate of a scavenger?

As he approached her Alpha held himself well. Head up, chest out, walk with grace and fluidity. These things came through her mind as practiced lines from lessons as she grew. He walked up to her and did something she did not expect, he bowed. He hung his head in reverence and layed low, not to the Gladekeeper which would have been understandable, but to her! This time she could not hide her suprise.

"Th..thank you, Alpha. It is a pleasure."

As he continued to bow she began to get nervous.

"Please, Alpha. Stand up. We must continue."

He stood and walked to his place in the front of the group.

The Gladekeeper then spoke.

"I know many of you are curious about this pairing. Alpha, may be a Mirror, but he was hatched under my watchful eye and bears in him, all the qualities that we hold dear. No longer should a dragon be judged by breed, or by the shades of his coating. Go now, Alpha and Flit, and bring acceptance to the realm and live and prosper."

Now she understood. This was to be the birth of a new Era of acceptance in the woods of the Veridian Labyrinth. She was honored to have been selected for this and she would work very hard to bring honor to the flight. As she left the place she had called home her entire life she looked forward to the life that lay before her and to learning to love her new mate. Alpha, the Mirror.

-- "Living in the shadow of an angry tyrant can leave one broken and cold. Hatred can grow and can breed more anger, causing a constant circle of anger, hatred and sadness. If you learn to cultivate the light and warmth that you can have for all, then anger cannot grow and the coldness will be kept at bay. Keep your warmth strong."
