"History, like memories, changes with each retelling, until only the brightest and darkest moments remain. To deliberately return to a technicolor story is a long, difficult, and painful process, but it is one worth doing."
- Petal

Firefly knows well the pains that come with lost moments, lost friends, and lost memories. She has witnessed friends turn on one another by the will of their gods. She has seen the trembles of war and the fear in hatchlings eyes turn flinty with bitterness. Over and over again, she has seen the the same conflicts break hearts among dragon-kind.

Firefly is quiet by nature. She is no leader, and can hardly be heard over even the most soft-spoken dragons. But what Firefly can do is remind others of what once was and light the way for a path forward. She collects the lost histories, the forgotten tomes, and the secrets others would rather allow to turn to dust. With painstaking, heart-breaking empath she gathers the past and restores it. All of it. Every shade of the past, from the extraordinary to the mundane, from the heinous to the miraculous.

It is too much of a task for one dragon to do alone. But firefly has found sanctuary in Clan Deviation and in her mate. Each is willing to listen to her breeze-soft voice as she shares what treasures she's pieced together. Together, perhaps, they can reach out to all of Sornieth and help guide dragon-kind away from the self-fulfilling of pain they have found themselves in.

When Firefly me Kouda she hadn't known what to make of him. Where she could barely be heard, his voice carried across the entirety of the territory when he let it. Where Firefly's interests set firmly in preserving the past, Kouda's were set firmly in the current moment. She was drawn to him and repelled by him in equal measures. She could barely force words from her mouth when he was around, so caught up in observing him flit from clanmate to clanmate.

And then she caught him looking to the stars. His expression was strange, twisted with pain and joy equally, and he was more quiet then she ever saw him. Caught in his orbit, Firefly settled next to him and followed Kouda's gaze to the stars.

"Did you know," Kouda began slowly, his voice barely louder than her own in that moment. "How beautiful the stars are, from up there?"

Firefly, having never been to the Astrolab before it's ascent and subsequent fall, shook her head. Kouda hums, a soft sound. It make her fur stand on end in resonance. She feels, for a moment, like she has touched the stars somehow.

"I'm happy to be here now," Kouda says after a long moment. "But I've nothing left from the stars. I hadn't thought my time there would ever end, so I never appreciated it or sought to keep it close to me. You understand, right?"

And Firefly does. She makes a soft hum, just a few notes off from Kouda's own, a harmony to his melody, and lets her body sink slightly against his own. Their tails entwine, holding fast to the moment they're having now. Together, they etch this memory into their hearts, something to be shared when the darkest hours are upon them and not even the stars shine.

It's easy and painful and lovely. But most of all, it is a moment worth preserving.
