Quote:
Gladioli,

You do not know me, or perhaps you do? I know your power runs deep, it's more than likely you know of things you have not seen, and that your roots connect you to all of your descendants whether you've met them or not.

I don't know much about this side of my heritage, and now that I've lost my Runes, I don't think your power runs through me anymore. But I saw this opportunity to write you a letter and thought I ought to take it.

Let's start from the beginning.

Hello, my name is Velvet.

My father was the son of Fegrd, although I never knew him. My name came from the primary gene and colour I inherited from him, but my mother passed her Runes on to me. She came from a line that celebrates life, and she entrusted me to the clan of her family when I was a babe.

They knew I was different. The clan leader and founder of her lineage could sense your power in me. I frightened her, I think. She would never turn away a hatchling (or any dragon, probably), but I did not see her much, and for a dragon who is so involved in her clan, that was telling.

I felt alone but couldn't understand why. Certain areas of the clan I found to be peaceful, and I was drawn towards them. I did not feel lonely there, even if I was alone. My Runes would glow in these spots and I'd feel a fulfilling sense of unity.

My great grandfather found me in one of these places one day and was quick to move me along. He's a kind dragon, and tried to be gentle about it, but I could see the alarm in him when he first spotted me there. Once again, I felt like a pariah.

"This is a sacred place," he told me. "You mustn't be seen here."

"I know its special," I said. "I can feel it."

He noticed the bright glow of my Runes then, and hurried me away.

Back then, the clan didn't speak of death. It had caused much heartache and they remained fearful of it. As an adult, I can look back and feel sorry for them. I understand their hesitancy towards me and I don't blame them. They sensed death upon me, and what dragons who had fought so hard to create life, would invite Death into their home? (Well, besides dragons like us, of course. Dragons who understand death and know that it is not to be feared, that there is no Life without it).

That ground I had sought solace from was the where the clan leaders had buried their first children, lost to sickness in their infancy. I did not feel sadness from that ground, only love, but at the time I couldn't articulate that.

Time is the great healer though, and the more this family thrived, the less afraid of death they became. They even have a memorial garden here now, which I do enjoy, and Belladonna is the relative I always wished for as a hatchling. She's like a sister to me, and understands me like no one else here does.

She was the one interested in this side of my heritage, and encouraged me to write to you. I'm glad she did. I've changed quite a lot recently, I've been working on myself, finding who I truly am and unearthing and treasuring these parts of me I'd tried to hide previously.

A big part of these changes was physical - my snakey Spiral body is now a very snakey Auraboa body. It makes me feel more connected to the earth, where all things find their ultimate rest. Unfortunately, when my scales shed my Runes went with them and my senses of all things lost and spiritual has changed. It's not a constant thrum like before, but more concentrated into these patches of hardened, shimmering scales. Maybe the weaker sensation is due to the other changes to my body? Perhaps that is for the best, it might have been too overwhelming in this body. But it does seem a shame that in a time of my life I could explore and celebrate your part of my heritage, that I am now outside of it.

I am greatful for the unique experiences your blood has given me regardless.
I wish you all the luck in your future endeavours, and if you ever need to know more about mortal life, I couldn't think if a better example than the clan I live in.

Much love,
Velvet

@TheEnforcer said: Another great Arcane dragon. The flower necklace works nicely to help the more reddish pink of the runes and bright fuchsia of the crystals coordinate.

Generation 3, Gladioli Line

Often lacking all power associated with the Mourning Flowers, the Achlorophyllosic are able to take any mortal shape or form. They are hindered by nothing. Many of them are still able to sense the dead, keenly aware of the other side and the souls that are trapped between existences. They hold no fealty, but their blood is strong, and the dead sense it; are drawn to it.

The Flowers still consider them kin, tied together by a thread that cannot be broken, and the Graveyard stands ready to welcome them home...
