Atomos

This tiny dragon was the most joyful out of all their siblings. Still, that didn't stop them from inevitably passing, too small and too weak, though always cheerful. Everyone mourned them, their little body was left on an altar and gifts were left around it.

However, the next morning, they had awoken, it scared the altar's caretaker greatly at first, though as soon as everyone was told about it the whole clan went to visit the altar. Everyone was in awe! What kind of miracle was this? What power had done this?

Everyone cheered and celebrated, thus their little light had come back. The festivities were drawn out for a week, during all this time, the little ones eyes had become brighter and brighter, and their form less tangible, ethereal. The last day of the celebration they spoke up to stop the celebrations getting prolonged even more.

"I see that everyone is happy again! Sadly, I cannot stay. In these days, I've given you joy, I've given you closure, I've given you advice. But I have to leave, I have a duty now."

And, having said that, the little light shot up to the sky, disappearing after turning into a thin, though bright ray of light. In awe, the clan didn't feel sad for their second time leaving, for whom had spoken was more mature than what their little light had been, they knew this was still them, but wiser.
