Spirit on the Moondust

Makari focused and rattled the trees with a breath of Wind magic, looking at Willow expectantly. The elder dryad chuckled and nodded, rustling his own branches in a purer, melodic version of what Makari had just done with the soulless tree beside him.

“Not bad,” Willow said. “But you were whispering in present tense.”

“It’s all I can manage right now.” After so many hours, he’d ceased being defensive. After all, he was here to learn, and language was one of those things that even native “speakers” could get terribly wrong. And a dragon wasn’t likely to receive any leeway on his pronunciation and grammar. “When do you think I’ll be ready?”

Willow’s leaves rustled again in a statement that sounded to Makari like, When leaves fly. Or, never. Leaves fell. “You’ll never get a second chance at a first impression.”

“I’m afraid the first impression is long gone…” Makari sighed. He once would have said it wasn’t fair but, again, that wasn’t likely to win any points with a dryad. “And tree rings last forever, don’t they?”

“Hm.” Willow nodded thoughtfully.

A long silence passed between them, and Makari couldn’t guess what Willow mused about so silently. He tried to set aside his own feelings for a few moments before realizing the irony. He hadn’t gotten where he was, to be who he was, by doing that. He wouldn’t respect himself anymore, and sometimes that was the only dragon whose respect he had. His father would be the first to agree. They’d hurt each other, so deeply they didn’t need to have tree rings to remember it.

“Perhaps…” Willow said with a smirk in his direction, “you’ll be ready sooner than I thought.”

No dragon in the Chase is as disappointed in his offspring as Sadko is his. At first, he was thrilled, the first of his children to stay with him despite his own admitted shortcomings. Of course, one shortcoming admitted is only likely to show additional cracks in the surface. Sadko put more expectations on his son than any dragon could bear, no matter their size.

With a temperament that would offend a field mouse, Makari never intended to fight with the Chase. Of course, he has to logically admit that the world isn’t perfect. Accidents happen, priorities clash, and some things truly are malevolent. But Makari isn’t entirely sure the Chase is on the side of the good. After all, there’s nothing they won’t fight for the right price.

Makari became a dryad ambassador primarily out of an inborn sense of justice. A grove near the nest where he was hatched had shrunk to a small fraction of its original size long before Makari came on the scene (perhaps long before the Chase did: it’s difficult to nail a tree down on timelines), and he can’t imagine how that’s fair. After all, the dryads need the land more than dragons do, and they’re relatively peaceful among Beastclans. Training with Lyna, the Chase’s former dryad ambassador, he learned their language and vowed to help them. Fortunately, one of the dryads, Willow, finds his passion to help them more endearing than condescending. Trees were here before the dragons, and have survived through more difficulties than these. Makari’s secondary goal, to irritate his father, is merely a bonus.

More than anything, Makari is a Wind dragon, though ashamed he may be. War and death are shameful things, and the dragons have had the advantage of the Beastclans for as long as time has been recorded. Nobody in the Chase really understands Makari, since what he does whips him from one whirling passion to another. Every single dragon in the Chase is more laid-back than he, and he thinks that’s a bad thing. As Makari says (perhaps incorrectly), nothing was ever changed by one who is content. He’s constantly angry, and not without reason, but this hasn’t won him any friends. And though his hatred for Sadko is assuredly mutual, perhaps what he hates most is that Sadko is the only dragon in the world that really loves him.

» Justice reality

════════════════════════

.
Makari’s idea of justice does not at all align with the Chase’s resident mediator. The fact that JJ (as most of the Chase calls him) calls himself “Justice” is almost an affront to him. JJ has no care for what other dragons might call context, he only cares about the one and what was done. Poor treatment is no excuse for bad behavior JJ, whereas Makari is more willing to make adjustment for one who comes from a different circumstance. Makari and JJ spend most of the time arguing, Makari bearing the brunt of the exhaustion for his passion. JJ is too assured of himself to be worried what Makari thinks.

» Attlerock imagination

════════════════════════

.
Everyone’s just doing their best. Makari thinks that Attlerock is too young to think that, but he knows it would sound pretentious to say it. Still, Attlerock and Makari get along well, though most seem to think it’s because Attlerock says so little. In reality, he lives by very few rules. First, everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, and there ought to be no limit to that. Second, everyone’s going to die someday, and that’s not to say that nothing matters. Attlerock, like JJ, doesn’t care about the plight of the Beastclans, though he’ll listen about it all day. Perhaps it’s the listening that Makari really wants. He’s not so prone to action himself.

WILLOW - ambassador

Willow knows a few things about dragons, trees, and life. After all, he’s been with the Chase longer than Makari has, nevermind all of Sornieth. This perspective has led them to the inescapable conclusion: Dragons are dangerous. But they’re also harmless. Bright, compassionate, hard-working, dull, selfish, and lazy. There are too many and just enough for generalizations. There are trees, like him, that like dancing as much as those that like standing still. It’s too much to expect every dragon to be good or evil, and he doesn’t know how Makari can get through a day without being exhausted. But he’s willing to admit his own failing there, too. As much as he likes dancing, he doesn’t mind standing still, either. He is, after all, a tree.

━━ notes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

» Makari refuses to take a surname, but for recording purposes Sadko told Ček to give him his. Makari grudgingly agreed, and uses this in their arguments. One of these days, Sadko says, he’s going to go to Ček and tell him to blot out any record of their association, including Makari’s surname.

» Only Sadko and Makari know for sure the sore spot between them. On his worst days, Sadko thinks that Makari is a flippant weakling with no respect. Makari generally thinks Sadko is obsessed with power and control. Though neither of them is right, both of them are right.

» Willow’s best friend is Aki, the fungus in Spjall’s employ. Makari spends a lot of time with Spjall, Lux, and their extended family, but none of them is sure they like the arrangement.
