Sweet

from commoncomitatus #340760 Valentine's Day 2021

Why am I still buying dragons?


An unexpected addition to Clan Diamond Dust, Sweet joined the clan on Valentine's Day 2021. Her lovely blend of colors and genes influenced the decision to add her, as the clan happened to notice her during their own Valentine's Day postings. The shades of blue in her eyes were complimented by the blues in her raspberry hues.

Raspberries were in the special desserts the clan's chefs had whipped up for a quiet Valentine's Day at home this year, away from the cold and crowds, and so it seemed like fate had landed her in the clan at this time.

Her father was an Ice dragon, and so she travelled to the land of his birth, seeking adventure and a new life. The elemental magic flowed through her more strongly than usual for a dragon born outside the lands of the Icewarden, but since Water was a similar magic, perhaps that helped her father's power blossom within her.

Many dragons disliked the cold climate of the Southern Icefield, but Sweet thrived it in, building snow forts and ice skating and taking part in all of the clan's winter activities. The clan was well known for both its support of the Icewarden and its yearly Winter Games, and there was always work to do for both of those endeavors. Since the clan was rather large at that point she joined it, the little Snapper wasn't required to immediately take on a role. She was able to enjoy her adolescence, learning and exploring. The decision to stay in the main clan or join the dragons on the coast at the clans' Outpost would be determined when she officially became an adult.

Her birthclan has an ancient lair in the Spiral Keep - although originally a Wind clan, called the Skycrest Clan, they had moved to Water flight and took on the name of Ocean's Heart. Perhaps one day her new clan would allow her to travel to the Windswept Plateau for a festival, so she could see it in person, but she was content with the few stories she had heard as a hatchling. Although there were some good times, the clan had been caught between two warring Beastclans and left its lair after devasting losses. She'd like to witness the Twisting Crescendo and the sky filled with balloons and kites for herself, but had no desire to return to the old territory.

Upon reaching adulthood, Sweet opted to stay in the main clan and joined the dragons with lairs deep in the mountains.
