Biography

NIVALDER

Counting Time

Two-hundred and twenty-three books. Fifty-two thousand and five hundred treasure. A millenia spent together. There was a constancy in numbers, comforting in its mathematical elegance. Dragons would be fickle, changing with the winds and the turn of years, but the numbers always turn out just so. Filing into their traditional roles, they would fall neatly between the lines, an art in their own right.

The gold-clad Banescale savoured his duties, the method of recording having long become an instinctual habit. Pages turn and coins fall, keeping time with their own unique rhythm. The smell of olden tomes evoked a nostalgic note to an unsung melody, a time forgotten if not for the ink on the page. An impermanent memory, that would pass into legend and then the final death.

Alone in his records, he began with a low note, pulling on those treasured traditions of old. Like water from a well, he drew those emotions from the archives that surrounded him, the many voices of those who had seen it all. He was a conductor on an invisible stage, his own crisp memories his baton, wielded with grace and reverence. He could still remember the rhythm, the serenade, praises to an empire long-gone. Despite the glories and beauty, it was tinged with distinct melancholy. All great things would end, survived only by inscrutable methods and archaic behavior, arts that would only be seen as disposable to a new world.

Absorbed as he was in the song, steeped in memory and instinctual duty, he did not notice when another voice graced the musical legend. It too knew not just the words, but their meaning. The unknown singer joined the invisible choir, slowly lifting her companion higher. Twinned together, the meaning of their song began to change. Between the low and the high, a glorious empire and its eventual fate, the melody was distinctly bittersweet. Praises not to that which would last a thousand years, but for that which existed at all.

Slowly, as their voices were spent, the tune wound down to its conclusion. Like that which it represented, it faded into silence, leaving only to its two witnesses the feelings with which it evoked.

xx— Do you think that they will understand? Will our song not fall on deaf ears? — Savorda voiced his doubt at last, pausing from his rigid methodology to look into his companion’s cyan eyes. Gently she approached him, her soft silks brushing against his scales.

xx— I do not know, my love. But we must trust them. If not us, who will? — Nivalder spoke softly, gazing upon the shelves of old tomes and words. In their mind’s eye, they saw the same thing; the lands of old sprawled before them, reborn in spirit, if not in reality.

xx— We will teach them then, but what they make of it will be up to them. — With a nod of understanding, the lorekeepers continued their work, the barest hum underneath their breath, to the rhythm of the numbers that they kept. They knew not what song they would create, improvised and adapted as it was passed on to the next generation, with new traditions, new methods, and new understanding. All they knew was that the music of history would go on.

Kven skal synge meg
I daudsvevna slynge meg
Når eg helvegen går
Og dei spora eg trår
Er kalde så kalde

Eg songane søkte
Eg songane sende
Då den djupaste brunni
Gav meg dråpar så ramme
Av Valfaders pant

Alt veit eg Odin
Kvar du auge løynde

This girl has an awesome skin, and I love her colors along with her genes! Fans looks great on banes.

Right off the bat, i saw nivalder. most people underestimate goldenrod as a color because of how yellow it is. with some genes, it doesn't look good but you paired the spinner and skink genes with the aqua fans and took advantage of the blue in the goldenrod. you truly made one beautiful dragon, especially if you pair it with that gorgeous skin/accent that you have on her!
