Osith

Deep below the earth, Osith had awakened. All she felt in the moment was confusion and fear, soon calming vibrations eased both she and her siblings. She was eager to break free from her stone state, but she patiently listened to the Earthshaker. The frequency of the vibrations changed, and the information of this world she inhabited alongside her siblings came to her as if she had been here for centuries. Sornieth was a beautiful place to her, life thrived and was full of color everywhere she saw… But then she saw the Wastelands, a brutal place that wasn’t like the other lands she had seen.

A new vision filled her mind… Somewhere deep in the Wastelands she watched as two dragons argued. A boney dragon with skin covered in scars, and a larger dragon that adorned in bones and jewels. “The Earthshaker is said to have called out to all dragons of Sornieth, inviting us to dig, yet you refuse to even step out of the Wastelands?”, The larger dragon said as she circled around the smaller dragon. The other dragon’s head crest flinches backwards, his eyes following hers as he hisses softly at her “Why should we help them? What do we gain if we lend our help? What are the chances there is nothing and we’re all led on a wild goose chase?!”. The larger one stops her circling and shakes her head “You worry too much, my love. What we gain shouldn’t matter to us in this moment, this is a moment where we put our differences aside to help our kin in their time of need”. She approaches him, gently laying her forehead against his. Despite the tension in the air, the two dragons seem to be rather close to one another. His head crest eases and takes on a more natural position, there is a moment of silence between them until he breaks it; “I am unsure of this event, but if you care about it this much… I will stand by your side and help in any way I can.”. Despite not knowing these two dragons, Osith already feels a deep paternal connection to both of them. As the Earthshaker bid goodbye to the Obelisk, Osith wondered when she’d get to meet these two dragons she had seen.

As she and her siblings emerged from their stoneshapes, Osith let out a big yawn and stretched her now freed limbs. She watched as her siblings ran off to greet the dragons that had helped with the Dustcarve Dig, she remembered the two dragons she had seen in her vision and eagerly looked around. And there they were, standing beside them were their fellow clan mates. All that helped by either digging or scavenging for the resources needed for the excavation. Filled with glee Osith happily ran over calling out to them, “Rafflesia! Merulius!” she had to come to a quick halt however as she almost crashed into them. “I’ve been waiting for you two, It’s wonderful to finally meet both of you!”. Osith was nothing but an energetic ball of joy to finally meet them, they on the other hand were a bit frightened by the sudden greeting from her… But happily welcomed her. She followed them home back to the Scarred Wastelands, even though she thought it was a rather vile place at first sight, she’s proud to call it her home.
