So I chose the second boy? Because well, I had more ideas for him and I already liked Phthonus's lore! Alright so Kenya's headcannon is that he's a sort of explorer who mines and studies all sorts of rocks and precious gems, but one day there was an accident and that's how he got his Opal gene!
The sensation of falling was so unfamiliar that Phthonus had been confused at first. Then his head cracked against hard stone, and he tasted metal in his mouth from where he had bitten his tongue. He winced, putting his claws to his head. They came away red, and he let out a hiss of pain. His head throbbed with waves of pain and Phthonus blinked away the dust and blood that had run into his eyes.
His vision swam with black, and he stumbled, crashing into a rock wall. A bluish glow filled his eyes, but as he haltingly moved forward towards the glow, Phthonus felt his legs give out from under him as he sank into unconsciousness.
"He's been unconscious for two days now... is he going to wake up?"
"I don't know. Maybe he'll die soon."
"That's a horrible thing to say! Get out!"
Phthonus sluggishly opened his eyes. He felt like he had been hit with a boulder. Every part of his head ached, and he noticed that fresh linen bandages were wrapped around his head.
"Oh! You're awake! It was a very bad fall- good thing you survived!"
A dragon was sitting at his bedside holding a tangle of bloodstained bandages.
"Though, when we found you... uh... were you always this... shiny?"
Phthonus frowned, and tried to talk but his cracked throat refused to make any noise. He paused, and looked at his claws.
A smooth brown substance like glass coated his arms, a blue sheen sparking off them. His eyes widened. The dragon next to him seemed to notice his distress, and quickly leapt forward.
"Calm down- relax. We don't know how it happened either. We think it's something that happened in the hour or two in which you were out cold..."
Phthonus stared at the dragon, then back at himself. There was a sort of buzzing in his mind, like static. This couldn't be happening.
Could it?
hhh I didn't know how to end it off?? You can edit it :>
