Upon seeing the harsh light she cried in her baby monotone fae voice as an unfamiliar figure peered over her. She was hatched, but didn’t feel at home. The spiral looming over her picked Latte up, knitting herself around her a bit for comfort, but she continued to wail.

Growing up, she found she didn't mesh with many dragons, except for Sirel. Her friend is nocturnal, but that didn't bother Latte much as she's an insomniac. They practiced their various magics together- Sirel his shadow magics, Latte her crystal magics- along with just chilling.

Over time, Sirel ended up blending in with the shadows while Latte turned shiny like the precious metals she favored. The two got their own magic waggon in the caravan as they felt odd being the only two magic users in the clan. While chilling at a random rest spot with the rest of the caravan, Latte noticed something unusual stir in a pool of infectious muck. Sirel saw Latte flying over the sizzling pool; it wasn't boiling, the magical nature of the pool was so viral it made similar sounds. Seeing a poor ice dragon stuck in the muck, Sirel dived down and snatched them out, being careful not to touch the pool's liquids himself. Latte and Sirel brought the dragon back to their waggon and tried to help the dragon clean up, only to find that she was infused with the gunk.

The dragon was another fae, a lass about Latte's age, with bright white eyes that gleamed out from beneath her plague colored muck. Seeing that she was like them (infused with the elements), Latte and Sirel invited her to join their guild in which she agreed and introduced herself as Chocolate.



As time passed, Latte realized how she had fallen in love with the Chocolate. Sure, she found Chocolate's plague magic revolting, but somehow Chocolate pulled it off in a dazzling way. After realizing these feelings, Latte was stuck as she didn't know the best way to ask the quiet lady out.

Then, as they hung out at the Trickmus Circus, Chocolate pulled out a beautiful, intricate, clockwork doll. Latte immediately fell in love with the toy, naming her Claudia. They ended up playing a lot more carnival games and rode some rides, kissing while on the spooky Tangled Wood ride.

From then on, she couldn't leave Claudia behind when she went out to look for more shiny things. The doll was just too cute, so she made sure she always had her friend with her. Latte was ecstatic when Chocolate didn't get weirded out by this, but rather started their thing of playing baby with Claudia.



As Latte's crystallization became more apparent, the whispering started. Empedocles, who usually stayed in the shadows, actually came up and talked with Latte. Latte was confused and a bit worried, as the last time Empedocles chatted with any of the others in the Caravan was when she forced their migration to the Scarred Wasteland, a time before Latte. However, she was quite shocked when Empdocles told her that it was time for a new ruler. Empdocles claimed that Latte was going to be the new queen. Latte, asked for clarification, as everyone thought Empedocles hated royalty, as she killed all the fighting royals during the famine to ensure everyone would follow her into the Scarred Wasteland. Empecoles laughed and reassured Latte that she was serious. With that, Latte had her coronation!



After a while, Latte decided that she wanted a nest. It was having Claudia play as her baby doll, but she wanted real hatchlings. She wanted them to crawl into her lap, hugging her, calling her mama. Chocolate agreed, admitting she also wanted some hatchlings. While discussing names, Latte decided that when she would call for all her children to come over to her, that she would refer to them as her little spells, which Chocolate found to be the cutest thing!
