During her time in the egg, she could hear the constant lullabies from her mother, or the cooing from her father, Vesuvius, that quickly ended with him complaining as Zamarca teased him for cooing to an egg. She couldn't see them, but she certainly dreamed about her life with them. The first few moments out of the semi-eternal shell prison, she heard other chirping besides her own. She tried to find where the sound came from, as a huge face got closer, startling her for a moment, before realizing she was being cleaned by her mother. The chirping, she soon found out was from her older sister, who her mother had named Georgina. Her father named her Mauna Loa and her younger brother, Erebus. Apparently, the names came from long gone dragon deities, much like his own name, Vesuvius. Mauna's father continued to fuss over them, while her mother fed all three. She looked so strong, yet her expression seemed sad, under her lion headdress. She couldn't understand why and really wasn't paying much mind as her parents seemed to try and tell them stories of what they did for the clan and how much they loved them. It all seemed....A bit rushed. It wouldn't be until later, that she would understand why, as a green fae dragon appeared. She wore a hood and her eyes were white. Mauna watched as Erebus gave her eyes an inquisitive look and her father explained that the fae was blind and could only see what the glade keeper showed her. At this, she noticed her mother tensing, she was far too young to understand all of what was happening, but the green dragon spoke, her words monotone and impartial as she mentioned the Gladekeepers plan. How this time, all three children had to leave the lair. Mauna was far too young to understand, yes...But she still felt a sadness in her young heart. A few more hours passed and her sister was the first to go, to a tribe that was friendly in both business and pleasure with theirs. She noted her mother was not present as her father took Georgina away. Later that same day, it would be her turn. Erebus was sleeping in the nest, when her mother returned. Mauna simply watched as she paced around, her older brother, Snap had come to visit. She learned that the young adult dragon was the only one allowed to stay of her siblings, again, per the Gladekeepers orders. She would also learn he had mated and she would soon have nieces or nephews, younger than her. What an odd thing? Or it would be, if she knew what it all truly meant. Sleep soon took over young Mauna, after she fed once more, only waking up when her mother nuzzled her. She opened her eyes, closing them a moment after, to give them a rub as she yawned. She smiled as she received one more nuzzle, before realizing the green dragon had returned. Nesir was her name. Her mother had called her that at least once. The Fae spoke and told the female warrior that it was time, and she nodded, turning to Mauna once more and speaking to her in a soft melodic tone. "Mauna Loa, you will be going to the lair of the Twisting Crescendo...It is with a heavy heart that I part with you, but the Gladekeeper has spoken and you will go on to do great things. Be it in that clan, or when it is your time and the Gladekeeper calls on you to fight against the sha--.....You're so small, I just...Nesir--" The young hatchling watched as her mother turned, pleading towards the leader of the clan, the oracle as many called her. The green Fae simply shook her head. Zamarca let out a shuddering sigh before turning back, regaining the strength in her tone. "You will do great things. Even if it means that you will ultimately leave before me to fight the shade. If that is the Gladekeeper's wish, then it shall come to be." Mauna seemed confused and simply chirped, gaining her one last embrace and a whisper. "I will watch you from afar, I promise. Be happy and seek greatness, like your parents and those before them" And with that, She turned and left her there. Mauna frowned, before the Oracle addressed her to follow...She had a clan to meet and an a fate to accept. Always, as the Gladekeeper wishes.

Annoys her constantly because he's always going off to explore new things and delays the deliveries. -Has smaller boat of his own for his own travels -Has caused trouble and has been banned from numerous clans, which also causes problems for MaunaLoa -On the flip side, he knows a lot more about certain clan's customs than she does, so he has helped her get out of a number of sticky situations. He is also fantastic with directions, when he wants to be. -Madly in love with Magiere, and wants to marry her someday, if she'll let him. -His mom taught him good manners, so he knows how to be polite and gentlemanly when he wants to be.

From slowly dismantling old pocketwatches to see how they tick to carefully watching a Strangler burying its prey from afar whilst taking notes, Aster has become quite knowledgeable of even the most obscure parts of the realm and as such his survival skills greatly outmatch those of his peers. He was once told of the legend of an ancient Ridgeback who had just begun working on an excavation site in Dragonhome to find newly discovered materials for the Tempest Spire. When one of the Stone Borer machines was tampered with by a Longneck, it went out of control and started attacking and injuring the excavators. Rather than fight back with his claws like his team, the Ridgeback instead hid behind a cart and studied the machine as it attacked. He managed to find a crack in its back and commanded the rest of his team to strike it - saving not only the materials but also lives.

Each has been given a gift that will benefit your clan. Choose wisely."[/i] -[url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35008779]Queen Hestia[/url] of Crescendo Isle.[/center] Liza hatched surrounded by warmth and love. His parents cared deeply for him and had prepared for his long awaited arrival. Unfortunately, it was not to last. Queen Hestia soon arrived to announce that as Liza's father had denied her offer of being a prince, one of their children would be taken and gifted to another clan in exchange for a child for Hestia. To Liza, Queen Hestia gave the gift of riches. To be rich and famous is all he's ever wanted. He is quite full of himself and longs to be admired by all. He will do anything for admiration, and money, even if it means leaving everything he knows behind and facing his worst fears (not that he'll admit to being afraid if anything). His gift manefests itself in the form of a ring that grows warmer the closer it gets to valuable objects. The warmer the ring, the more valuable the object. [center][Item=Emerald Ring][/center] After his elder brother was chosen, Liza was free to pursue his own life. Leaving his parents, he immediately found his place among a growing band of pirates on the edge of the island. He did not tell them of his ring, for he did not wish for his new friends to steal it from him, but he quickly proved his worth, eagerly passing any test they set for him. In time, he grew to be the captain of his own ship. His mother, wanting him to return to the safe life she had built for her children, pleaded him to return and turn his back on the dangerous life he lived. Not wanting to give up his growing riches, he refused, and barely ever visits home. Liza has grown to be close friends with Echo, and has joined up to create his own crew with him and Ljuba. The three of them sail the skies, plundering treasure and overall making a great team. Liza, though he tries, is not as suave as his crewmates, and sometimes they must get him out of trouble if his ego and greed takes him too far. Liza has been able to get anything he has every wanted. Riches, game, glory, but there is one thing he has never been able to get: Ljuba to love him. Instead, he must watch as she flirts with every dragon except himself. She is not something his ring can get him, and she finds him to have far too big a head for her to consider settling down with her. As she gets on well with Echo, sometimes Liza and Echo find themselves getting into fights, as Liza is infuriated at the fact Echo will flirt with her with no intention of following through and actually loving her as more than a friend.

Young Oscar grew up with his real parents, but his Mom also had another mate, so he was his not-dad. He never considered it odd by any means, since that's simply how it was, and if anything, it helped enrich his life more with the differing viewpoints between the three parental units. From hearing about war, power-hungry dragons, and how the meek are not always so, the boy grew a hunger to help, but not in a traditional way. He didn't want to be a healer, or a doctor, or even a soldier, instead he decided to deliver letters, information, to cross the war-torn borders of Sornieth just to let families know their son was okay. His parents wished him good luck, all three of them. They still voiced their worried, deep with concern and fear, but he promised he would survive all of it and would write to them when he had the time, and then he was off. Unfortunately, a storm threw him right into the territory of a clan he had never heard of, just floating in the air. It was definitely different from home, and the storm sort of knocked his brains about. He's decided to recuperate for a few days and figure out where he is.[/center]
