Ahern, The Wings of Thunder
First-Born of the Ancients

In the beginning the land was wild and untamed. The gods saw the lands and the animals within them, and they were satisfied for a while.

But gods are jealous things, simply creating something small like the animals wasn’t enough for them. The animals were things they all did together, something they had struggled together over. After it was done they agreed that something with more intelligence, something with more understanding, was needed. They all agreed to create some being like that, guardians of the realm that held power over the elements.

Nazhren was the first to create a dragon for the realm. He build a being with scales like storm-clouds, rippled and painted in shades of blue and black. It had four short legs build for running and with strength hidden beneath the skin. It’s massive wings were colored in a brilliant yellow, sparkling streaks of gold decorating them. Her eyes shone in an electric blue as she blinked around the world for the first time.

“Your name shall be Ahern. You will command lightning like I do, you are fast and agile and you take to the skies to ride the storms. This world is empty save for your now, but others will come. Find friends, partners and also rivals in them. Make this world what you want it to be.”

With that Ahern was alone. The ground under her claws was hard stone, a plateau high up in the mountains. Just the sky with its dark clouds over her heads as she took her first steps. But rocks where hard and cold and boring she understood even as small as she was. The world was big, she knew and so she wanted to explore. She raised her head and the wind stroked her face softly.

She hummed softly and stretched her wings for the first time. Finally she took off running, using her long legs to gain speed before jumping high into the sky. Her wings unfolded high in the air and she flew. She really flew, like the wind around her she darted through the sky like she was born for it. Sailing in between the mountains and exploring peaks and valleys as they came into sight.
She was free and wild and she wanted to have some fun.
