Vex's Lost Entry: Gone Missing

It seems during Suchong's absence, one of the documented withered has gone missing from the Consulate. This is very strange, most of the withered I've seen in my time here do not want to leave this place. There is something that keeps each of them here or at least coming back to these infested woodland. Yet this one, an undertide from the looks of it, has completely left the consulate as I cannot find them on my travels nor in any of the area's marked by Suchong for underwater nests. Sanet... Noted to be an aggressive and territorial withered. The running theory for their disappearance is related to their territorial attitude. From these notes it sounds like they constantly fought and lost to stronger withered in the area trying to keep everyone who could be perceived as a threat away from their waters. I'm sure eventually, in an area of stronger and equally as aggressive dragons it gets old and this could be why he moved on. To where I'm not sure, hopefully we can track them down soon. Prim has promised me she would do her best to search for the troublesome dragon on her travels.

hello! this is super cool so far! i love the idea of a clan being split into different outposts, that's a nice way of adding some diversity.

"Midnight Duet"


Late night in the woods,
In the moonlight is where she stood.
Singing a melody so soft, so sweet,
tonight is were the two of them would meet.



From lush gardens to ghastly nights,
a melody produced from two different flights.
These two found themselves in awe of the other,
here they sang among the branches of the forest mother.



Not every night, nor every moon,
sometimes the two will come together to sing a tune.
But if you just so happen to hear their hymns,
these wonderful lullabies carrying through the garden,
wilting any grim.


Yeah this is probably really cheesy but I thought I'd put it on here because its technically my first poem so here you go

While they adored carving masks for others, and learning about the various strangers that traveled through the Gladebough Village; customers were few and far between. How would Ilex and Needle ever make enough treasure to venture out of the Labyrinth to see the world if he kept having days like this? Perhaps it was their uncomfortable nature they exhibited when interacting with anyone new... [i]why must conversation be so difficult? [/i] Finally they came to a strong branch just above the tree tops, where they could see the village's orchard far far away in the distance. Making this trip every night was starting to become tiresome. But before they could spread their wings, a shuffle of the leafs nearby caught their attention. Ilex was in luck, a potential customer! Yes maybe they didn't have to go home empty handed after all! Mustering up the courage to greet this newcomer, they leaped from the sturdy branch down to the forest below. The woodland barely lit by twilight, Ilex peered around in hopes of seeing their possible client. Heart sinking as they scanned the thicket, only seeing the glow of the fireflies that danced around them. But... they could have sworn that was another dragon! Yes they were sure they saw a their tail disappear down below the canopy, they couldn't have been mistaken. Could they have been? The chirps of crickets rang throughout the air, humid from a hot summers night. Not long before the eeriness of being alone at night started to set in for the Skydancer. In all their excitement, it hadn't even occurred to them that their caravan guard was gone. Which meant if something were to ambush them right now, Ilex would be left to defend themselves. Lowering their head, they started to constipate returning to the tree tops and flying home. "Lost are you?" A rough voice behind them nearly caused Ilex to jump out of their skin. Whipping around, they came face to face with yet another guild member of their own clan. "Ah! Don't sneak up on others like that, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Feathers ruffled, and fur on edge; it was hard to take the sky dancer seriously. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87205947][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/872060/87205947.png[/img][/url] "You should leave." Smoothing themselves, Ilex cleared their taut voice. "Your from my clan right? Starwood isn't it?" Yes they remembered now, the ominous pearlcatcher who bartered enchanted items. He did not answer them, instead turning to the empty clearing before the two. [i]Rude. At least answer someone when they address you...[/i] Scoffing, it came a surprise that they could see their own breath. Followed by an usual coldness that began to pierce the atmosphere. Was this the work of Starwood? No they could clearly see he has also taken notice of the change, and was looking around for something. The chill soon got to the mask maker, quivering as they attempted to cover themselves with their own wings. Something was wrong, just moments ago they were standing in a warm tropical grove. Now it felt more like the glacier of the goalers. "We are not alone." Starwood's tone had now lowered to nothing but a mer whisper, calm yet alert. Up ahead, between two old oak trees, a frost had started to form along the grass. Like a pathway beckoning to the two. It took a moment before Ilex saw two eyes peering at them in the darkness, anticipating their moments. What was that? An enemy? Their fur had begun to stand on edge again, unable to break their gaze of the small shrill eyes that burned into them. Ilex was so frightened, they found themselves unable to move. Yet Starwood seemed to maintain their tranquil stature even as he refused to break their gaze. What did he know that they didn't? Two puffs of air came from the creature, their shape just barely visible in darkness. It looked to be a strangler, standing so still one might mistaken it for a log if not careful. Creaking as it turned, the two could hear the beast slither off into the woods. Icicles crackling on the ground after it. "We should go, this is weird." But much to Ilex's displeasure, Starwood went forward. Following the frosted pathway into the abyss. Adverse to being alone, they followed after him annoyed. "What are you doing? That thing is gonna kill us!" They hissed after the enchanter who paid them no mind, cautiously creepy forward as they tracked through to the area ahead. For a while, they journeyed after the mysterious winter wind. It must be getting late by now, Needle would start to worry about their absence... but as frightened as they were, curiosity had started to get the better of them. At least they weren't alone. Suddenly their came a weeping, faint but close. "Do you hear..." Starwood outstretched their wing to silence them, eyes glued to the figure that stood in front of them. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/86872874][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/868729/86872874.png[/img][/url] Before the two stood an ice sculpture of a nocturne, it's head hung low in shame. Still it stood in the moonlight that glittered down from in between the trees. Looking closer, Ilex could see small crystal clear tears drip from the rim of the eyes, blank and lifeless. The crying had gone as well as the intense frost, left only with the gentle breeze of the forest. They had never seen such a sculpture, adored with a lush cape and frozen branches from a place far from the Labyrinth. Sorrow began to overtake them, and tears of their own fell from their mask. Starwood glanced over their shoulder at them. "Ah, Apologies..." Ilex quickly wiped away the tears, flowing from their face like a riverbed. "I am not sure what overcame me." Sniffling they stood, shaking the feeling. And before the two took their leave, Ilex gave the sad sculpture one last look before they finally traveled back to their den. Where Needle would be waiting for them with a welcoming meal and a warm bed.

Taking a deep breath, the package was taken from their side where it hung and unwrapped. Revealing a wooden mask with antlers standing proudly on dome. Ilex placed it before the statue, gazing upon it as if expecting it to move. "This is for you. A gift, to lift your spirits." Bowing, they left never to return. This time not overwhelmed with the same grief from before, but instead a spark of joy that rejoiced in their heart.
