Fern

||The Crystal Keeper||



Fern works alongside Terez in maintaining the lair. Unlike Terez, he was born into the clan once the lair was already floating into the heavens so it wasn’t a shock to him as his home had always been like this. But he found out she struggled with the upkeep quite a lot so feeling for his kin he reached out to help maintain it. The strong magical energy within the lair keeps it from crumbling instantly, but there’s always work to be done. Fern spends a lot of his time meditating, directing the flow of magical energy in the lair to areas that need it most. He is actually the one responsible for the crystal maze outside the true lair entrance. The formation is so dense and reflective the entrance itself is very hard to locate, even dragons who have been in the clan for some time even struggle to get inside sometimes. But this comes with the territory of having a lair so out in the open.

Because he spends so much time with crystals, he is actually able to use them in his magic. Able to summon up small shards at will by manipulating the magic of the realm and giving it physical form. However, he can only do this within a certain radius of the lair, once he gets so far away he is no longer able to do it. Although, the ability comes back when he gets near the observatory… Fern uses this shards as a means of defence, hurling them at any of the bizarre creatures that roam the skies of the Starfall Isles. Frequently the clan tries to let the creatures be but some just can’t resist an easy target like… A dragon sitting alone in a tiny alcove. Thankfully this happens very rarely, but Fern insists there is one starspawn flyer who he has nicknamed ‘the sky pancake’ keeps trying to get him. He knows it’s the same one because he poked out one of its eyes the first time it snuck up on him. So the two have a strange rivalry. Sometimes Terez catches him streaking around the sky because it snuck up on him yet again. It doesn’t even attack him, it seems to be playing a weird game of tag.
