Lore

Her eyes glimmered. She always wished to be out here, alone with the fireflies. And not long after she'd been hatched, too! It seemed like a wondrous occasion for her. Despite the fact that she was out here all alone, no one with her then. As a firefly landed on her nose, she sneezed it off in an attempt to get rid of the very small creature.

She thought she looked plain. Sure, she looked somewhat like a snake and had butterfly wings. But what else? It was as if she just wasn't hatched with all the patterns that the others had. Her siblings didn't, either. They were all very... plain. Was there something wrong with them? Maybe. Were they still beautiful dragons? It really depends on the person.

So, as she watched the fireflies flitting about in front of her face, she knew what she could do. We could have fireflies! It sounded like a good idea to her. But then again, she was only a day old. Still. She wished she could capture the beauty and just put the splashes of color on her scales...

Without a thought, she picked up a firefly, twitching her wings in the slightest way. She put it on top of her nose, and strangely, it stayed there. This was what she had now, the fireflies. They would all have the fireflies. And before long, they did. She had convinced her family to put and keep the little fireflies flitting about them, lighting up their scales at night in beautiful ways.

They became famous for the first group of "non-special" dragons to give themselves their own quirk, their own special trait. Soon after this, many other dragons without a third marking followed suit, appalled at the fact that a tiny hatchling only a day old could invent something so beautiful.

From far and wide, dragons everywhere took fireflies at night. Not just gold, but all different colors! Her own brother had even found green fireflies to accompany himself. He was much older than her, and maybe a little goth. Who knew. He was an imperial, often acting much better than her.

Hint hint. The name of his entire species of dragon. When she found that he had fireflies too, and in almost the same color she had, she was thrilled! He seemed excited that his little sister had created something so they wouldn't be left behind from the others with third markings. And he was hardly excited about anything.

They were a part of a special group, the fireflies. Now, every descendant of the original dragons with fireflies would get a ceremony; the parents would go out and find special-colored fireflies just for them, and they would stay with them until they died.

This little hatchling, this sister and inventor of almost a whole new species, had become known as Firefly for her wondrous creation. Only a day old, and she had already changed the world. You can only imagine how she reacted to this, when she heard how far her creation had spread. She was ecstatic!

This small creature, this... Firefly, had made a difference. And it had given the dragons without markings glimmers of hope, a regality and special sense because they had something none of the others did.

They had fireflies.
