He collapsed to the hard ground with a yelp, limbs unable to hold him up. A weight settled against his broad chest, and something deep in the back of his mind seemed to... shut off. It still lingered, but just barely. He blinked, dazed, and looked around with a new sense of wonder. Everything was brighter, more colorful, more full of life; even from his decidely uncomfortable place on the ground, Solani was content to just look... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx• • • ➺ ...and look he did. He looked and he looked and he looked, until his mind swirled with images and half-imagined wonders; he looked til the sky turned dark and the stars shone with twinkling brillance; and he looked til he could look upon naught but the darkness of sleep and the impossiblities of his dreams. 🗲 ...but the storm loomed... 🗲

Sparks flew through the air as Mitosis pounded down the hallway, the metal floor clanging against his claws. Red light beamed from the emergency lights overhead, flickering and sputtering like dying embers. He gasped for air, eyes wild, roving, searching - there. He skidded to the left, his tails thudding against the wall, talons leaving gouges in the plating beneath his feet. His surroundings were familiar yet not, doused in a haze of terror and red, so red, everything red. A computerized voice droned on in his ear, speaking, whispering, shouting, saying things that he didn't want to hear but he had to because everything was falling apart, and if he didn't listen, he would die. >.Hull breach.

Please evacuate to the nearest exit. His lungs were burning, his legs were burning. His head, his eyes, everything was on fire, igniting, dancing withing the flickering red of the lights above, pumping through his veins, simmering in his blood. One foot in front of the other, feel it hit the ground, there, now the other foot, there, run to safety. Escape. Escape the monster that he had created. Something screamed. The door. It was there, right in front of him, so close. The door. The lever. Pull the lever and he would be saved, get inside and pull the lever and he would fly away, jet away, fly and plummet from this hell. He reached, ten yards, nine, seven- He felt it before he saw it, in the pain and the roaring fire of panic, in the roiling sea of his regret, his horror. He was drowning in that sea, he couldn't breathe, it burned, but he only poured more water upon his grave as he wept for what he had done. He was encased in glass, trapped in a jar; so fragile, trembling with the tidal wave of his emotions, frozen in time. See there, the monster, peering from within his life's desires, his deepest dreams and his darkest fears; see there, its two great eyes as he turned round, caught in a trance. The eyes glared, furious, glittering in the red, red light, blinking at him. Asking him why. Wanting to know... why. It roared. The glass around him shattered. His trance broke. He whirled to once again face the door. His salvation. He took a step. It lunged forward, giant scythes reaching, anguished eyes glittering. Its trapped wings flittered within the casings of their metal prison. The walls groaned. The red lights went out. The ceiling collapsed. Something hit his head. He might've screamed, might've shouted, might've sobbed, but it was lost in the din of the shrieking metal and the howls of the monster, the creature. His creation. His mistake. Blood fell down his face, so red. As red as the lights had been, as red as the fire that still burned, still coursed throughout his limbs. The shards of his brokenness seemed to pierce through his lungs as the world around him fell, fell, fell into the depths of his deepest nightmares. Get up. The blood still fell and the world still fell in fractured pieces around him but he got up, got up and dragged himself towards his salvation. It screamed, he screamed, the walls screamed, his mind screamed. He stumbled. The door opened. He pulled the lever. The door closed. >.Escape pod activated. Destination: Source. Launch in 3... 2... 1. Launch. He fell there, limp and unmoving, scarcely believing that he had made it out. And then he remembered. Those eyes, those baleful, blaming eyes. His fault. His fault. His fault. He was too tired to cry. Too tired to think. He lay shaking on the floor, hugging himself, cold and hot and numb. He let the world fade, muddied in shades of black and red, his blood painting scarlet tears upon his skin. ...... S-C-M-S-T: log. sound-color-matter-space-time. file status: disconnected.

➺ He didn't notice the danger until it was upon him.

The first strike produced a thunderclap strong enough to shake the ground; rocks and pebbles bounced from the boulder Solani was sheltered under, and the sand of the charged barrens started to stir.









entry one - uhh wait what time is it brb
(okay its like two hours after sunset)

*ahem* okay do I need to sound official? I'll try to be official. And like. Regal. And stuff. *coughs awkwardly*

When I opened my eyes for the first time, I beheld a butterfly.
It was perched on the very tip of my snout, wings fluttering lazily. It was a beautiful thing - a ghostly blue, dark patterns weaving whimsically throughout its wings. I had never seen a butterfly before - well, I had never seen anything before- but I somehow knew what it was. Just like I somehow knew that my eyes were eyes, and that the sky was above me and the ground was below me and my wings were cramped and my talons were squished and what was that over there-? A PLANT? *gasp* a SHRUB! OH WAIT! LOOK! A ROCK?!

Anyway. You get the point.

My name is Solani. Elation calls me butterbooperbaby (long story.) The majority of Cryshollow usually just calls me 'Lani or "the butterfly guy." Archive... welllll. Archive calls me a lot of things. She likes giving odd nicknames to interesting story subjects. But you... you can call me anything you'd like. As long as it's not impolite, of course. (Well, anything except Inalos. But I'll tell you about that later.)

As for why you're here slash why I'm writing this slash why you're reading this slash why I'm rambling nonsensically, you can blame Elation for that. She... convinced me cordially (not forcefully of course) to start writing a joural thingy. Something about how history is important? I mean, she IS Gatekeeper, so that make sense. I guess. OH! And she also mentioned that I needed to talk to someone other than her and... hmm, what was it? 'Uncivilized, unintelligent, squishable insects' I believe it was. Could be wrong. Smack me if the quote is inaccurate. (But don't actually smack me. You might hit one of the butterflies.)

So. Ahem. Where to start? Should I just... like... ...talk about my day? Or something? Wait okay, brb guys let me just ask Ellie-

Ok so Ellie says (Elation, by the way, Ellie is Elation, I just use Ellie as a nickname) that I should just... talk. Cough. Here I am... talking... idk what to write ahahahah...

Okay. Y'know what? Something interesting actually DID happen today. I'll scribble it down real quick and then I need to go do a couple things (but don't worry, I'll be back later!)

Soo. It happened at dinner (don't interesting things almost always happen around food? So fun!) We were all just peacefully snacking on our various concoctions of deliciousness when someone 'accidentally' (sus?) Spilled water ON ASTRAYE!!! EVERYONE knows he hates water. Worse than a ridgeback, that guy. Anyway, and so we all naturally started freaking out (by everyone I mean me and Astraye, everyone else was pretty much chill) and then he pulled out his katana and started waving it around while trying to wipe off the water and- well. He sort of kind of ('accidentally??' sus??) cut off a chunk of Typhoona's hair...? I mean. She's probably the one who got water on him in the first place but. Yikes. Astraye. Bad move, man. Basically they started throwing around magic and sharp stabby things and everyone had to move their dinner to their rooms. But it was interesting to watch, at least? And Typhoona did need a haircut...

Anyway, after that they both got reprimanded by Archive and Ellie (I imagine THAT went pleasantly. Good thing I wasn't there for it.. I probably would have had night terrors for a week. Archive can get scary. She's a sweetie deep down though. But like. Deep down. Buried in there. Real deep.)

Gotta go now though! Butterfly garden pruning, painting and Ellie quality time. Gotta love edgy, hyper skydancers! I mean that genuinely, of course. I couldn't possibly love Ellie and her terrible jokes any more than I already do <3

Butterbooperbaby signing off! (stop looking at me like that, it's not cringe, it's a pet name. okay bye)


Solani is sweet, quiet, kind, and slightly goofy. As an aberration, Solani is generally expected to be scary and plaguey and terrifying, but he is in fact one of the sweetest dragons to take up residence in the Labyrinthe. He loves to play with butterflies and little birds, and though he is very shy, likes to make friends as well. Unlike most aberrations, he only talks using one head, his right head (curly horns, two eyes.) The other head with the three eyes is usually tucked sound asleep in chest fur- except in rare moments when it awakens. He has a particularly strong bond with Elation, the Gatekeeper, and Archive, the Lorekeeper. He does, however, have an alternate personality that sometimes surfaces. He developed his main personality, Solani, as a defense mechanism agains the pain and trauma he went through when he was a child (he has not revealed more than this to any dragon save Elation. His original personality, known as Inalos (backwards spelling of Solani as Inalos is the complete opposite of Solani) is angry, tortured, and aggressive, as well as in possession of a tendency to lash out for no reason at all. Inalos manifests in the three-eyed head, sending the right head to sleep whenever Inalos wakes up.
When it does wake up, it is usually in times of peace, where everything is perfectly fine. Now, this may seem backwards, but this is why: Solani manifested as a defense mechinism against pain and distress, so whenever there is danger, Inalos 'hides' behind Solani and shuts itself off in fear of being hurt. However, when there is no danger, Inalos feels like it is safe to come out again. This usually only lasts for a few minutes though, especially because Inalos starts wreaking havoc/categorizing dragons as threats basically as soon as it comes online, and dragons start fighting back and becoming threats... sooo then he shuts back down again and cowers behind solani.

Inalos is a failed experiment, escaped from a hidden facility. He was put through many torturous procedures. Originally intended to be a mindless, destructive weapon of world domination, unexpected developments of personality and creative thinking resulted in Inalos outsmarting his captors and escaping the lab, leaving in his wake a trail of wreckage. the leader of the experimentation is the scientist .>mitosis, of crustyglowstick's lair- the abberattion also responsible for the creation of Rex2, leader of the army of chaos
Besides this, Solani also has yet another form - a giant purple butterfly with galactic purple and blue swirls on its glowing wings. Solani can, spontaneously and without warning, pop into his butterfly form, fluttering around and creating a heck of a breeze with his giant wings. This isn't any normal butterfly, though - it has a darker side. Sharp mandibles lie in place of a tongue, and armored legs possess deadly sharp talons capable of piercing through almost any armor. His wings aren't delicate - they're sturdy, reinforced with ribs of dark bone, and can induce grevious injures if they impact hard enough.

Unusual features: very thick eyelashes, multiple tails (of varying lengths and colors), a habitual entourage of little butterflies, supersonic abilities. occasional gaps in memory. Inalos has a slashed right eye.
