Creeping Tendril

Gladeling
Mysterious - Idealistic - Nurturing

Aspen knew she was different from the time she was just a hatchling, and for better or for worse, so did everyone else. She is a Gladeling, born with the colors of the Gladekeeper and possessing uncommon talent in caring for the flora around her home. Gladelings had always been given prodigious status in her home clan, but Aspen was a special Gladeling.

Everyone had heard tales of old Gladelings who could seemingly create life where none existed and communicate almost telepathically with the Gladekeeper herself, but as their bloodlines had thinned, those abilities had waned. That is, until a recent surge in power pulsed through the Viridian Labyrinth, giving rise to new types of the Gladekeeper's Prophets who possess special eyes with which to help her gather information on her own realm and others.

Aspen realized early on that she could see in ways others could not. Her Faceted Eyes could detect wavelengths invisible to others, helping her to see details others missed. Though this had the small side effect of altering her perception of normal colors and made dressing herself a nightmare, she rarely had to worry about that, spoiled and fawned over as she was. For it was also obvious from early in her life that she held some direct connection with the Gladekeeper herself.

A voice periodically spoke in Aspen's head, deep and booming but still somehow gentle and kind, giving her instructions to visit specific people or places. Once there, she would enter trances where she did not truly hear or see those around her but seemed to look right through them. She would sometimes walk around or interact with her surroundings during these trances, but it felt as if she were being used as a puppet. As if she was not in control of her own actions. And very rarely, during these trances, the voice that she heard would issue from her own mouth. Everyone that she met waited on baited breath, hoping to hear the voice of the Gladekeeper.

Over time, Aspen became unhappy with this life. She did not mind the attention and material comfort that her condition afforded her, but she grew tired of not having freedom. She was constantly watched by others, and constantly waiting on her next orders.

She had taken a mate, who she adored. Men of stature, eager to advance their own aims, had always vied for her attention. But Birch was different. He had been a lowly attendant when they met, assigned to tend her needs for a short period, but she grew fond of him and asked for him to stay with her as a companion. Aspen was rarely refused anything, so from that point on, he had traveled with her. But he was often pushed aside when she met dragons from other clans, and she grew tired of this too.

One day, the voice inside her head spoke to her, as it did sometimes. But its message was different.

"Spread my influence... Make connections with other Flights... Set out alone..."

How? she thought. There was no response, no elaboration. Not that she expected one really, that had never worked before.

She did as her orders stated. She set out alone, sad to leave Birch, but bound to her mission. She was unsure really of where to go first or what exactly she was supposed to be doing, or why. She had had the vague idea to set out for Dragonhome first, and so traveled West. Though she recieved no more instructions, she was sure that she would figure it out.

In fact, she never heard that voice in her head again. But some of her many children or grandchildren did. And those who did not would still find in time that their gifts rivaled those of the Gladeling whose mission would take her across Sornieth.
