IMG-0775.jpg Arete is falling. He's slipping, slipping out of the arms of the only safety he knew. He's tumbling through the air, barely conscious, barely knowing. And then he hit the surface of the water, sinking...



Arete starts another argument with another dragon from the water clan, for the second time today. Most of his clanmates are accustomed to this, and ignore him, telling him that one day he'll learn to give the ocean a second chance.
He feels the rolling waves beneath his feet, under the wooden boards. His stomach twists. No matter how long he stays in Flotsam Town, no time will heal his hatred of the ocean.
"Maybe if you stop dwelling on your past, you can focus on the present," hisses the dragon in front of him. Her wings are patterned with marks of the ocean. She glances out to the sea.
"Zenzi, I just don't think you get it," sighs Arete. "Have you ever nearly drowned before your eyes are open?"
"I know ocean lovers who have been through worse. For example, one, the hurricane victims." Zenzi starts counting on her talons. "two, dragons involved in whirlpool incidents. Three, every dragon severely injured in a battle in the sea. Four-" Arete is scowling. "Fine! I'll stop. I can respect a fear, but not when you take it out on everyone that likes water!"
Zenzi walks away.
"She's right, you know!" shouts a passing dragon. Arete sighs and takes flight, but he makes sure not to look down at the water below him.


Out of the boarded-up window of his little cabin, the ocean stretches endlessly. Arete doesn't want to see it. He lays in his bed, curled up with a book.
Zenzi probably hates me. I don't mean to sound selfish. They don't know how much danger they're in. What kind of dragon clan lives away from all land?
A huge splash comes from outside, and water rains down onto the roof. He hears panicked voices. Arete slams his book shut and scrambles beneath his bed. The voices only grow louder and a high-pitched scream echoes from outside his door.
"ARETE!" Shouts a familiar voice. There's banging on the door. "COME OUT!"
"Zenzi?" He nervously pokes his head out from under the bed.
"YES! OPEN UP!" Shouts Zenzi. Arete sighs and forces himself to get up and open the door.
"COME!" Zenzi snatches his talon and practically drags him out onto the wooden board deck. Their clan leader is slumped over the edge of the deck, sickly, heaving. Dark water pours out of his mouth.
Arete feels ill. He can't stay here. He can't live with this. He shoves Zenzi with his tail and bolts away from the scene, taking flight. He doesn't look back. He's never coming back.

Species Information

Arete is a tundra, snapper and skydancer hybrid, with the most dominant breed being tundra in his appearance. He has traces of other breeds in his history, but he does not know which.

Hybrids are the norm in Sornieth. Dragons have produced offspring together for so many generations that "pure blooded" dragons, or a hybrid of only two breeds, are rare. Very mixed dragons are typically categorized with the top three breeds they resemble most.
