@Draco981 [quote name="Draco981" date="2023-04-03 18:12:09" ] Indiglo, I noticed that when you were young, it seemed as though your magic expressed itself through your emotions. Did anything particularly bad ever come out of this? Do you still have problems like this nowadays?

"Well, I may not remember much from my childhood, but according to my mother's stories, I'd say I have gotten much better at controlling my powers. I've always loved my family, but with my powers, emotions are dangerous. My mother enjoys telling one story of when she grounded me to my chambers for a while. She said I stormed off without much protest, however, when she finally went to go fetch me, the door to my chambers kept disappearing and reappearing all throughout the castle. By the time she was finally able to enter, I was too busy giggling to continue being upset." Indiglo's ears drooped slightly. "However, she was not too tired to give me a thorough lecture, and I received no dessert that night." Indiglo looked out the window, admiring the stars above. "My father could swear that the stars were brighter, on nights that he was out hunting. Whenever he was away, I enjoyed stargazing. Mother said that she could hear me whispering to the stars, like talking to a friend." Indiglo turned her gaze back to her pearl, tracing her claws gently over its shiny surface. "As for particular troubles, I do believe I almost destroyed the throne room upon my hatching. You see, there are these magic infused gemstones, that adorn the massive cavern ceiling and walls. When my parents brought me before the king and queen, I was so startled by King [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81418966]Dunbai[/url], I started screaming and crying. All the power infused gemstones resonated with me, and began exploding into powerful elemental fireworks... Needless to say, everyone was thoroughly shaken by the event." Indiglo began trying to think of any recent events that her magic has caused. Though she has significantly improved her control, there was certainly no shortage of happenings. Suddenly remembering something, she blushed slightly. "Well, I have certainly learned to control my emotions better, social interactions have gotten much easier since. But one dragon has recently joined our clan, he's quite special I think, and I do thoroughly enjoy his company." As Indiglo began to talk about this dragon, her pearl and scales adopted a slight glow. Indiglo's smile widened, she closed her eyes and seemed to sway to a song unheard. Grass and flowers sprouted from the tiles, and empty pages on the desk nearby folded themselves into many whimsical shapes. The room felt airy, and a relaxing fragrance seemed to permeate the air. The folded pages fluttered to and fro. When Indiglo's eyes opened again, she noticed one flower growing from the tiles and plucked it. "Oh this one is quite pretty, do you think nature flight dragons like these kinds of flowers? I wonder what kind it is? Oh, perhaps I should read up on botany!" Before Indiglo could get too carried away, she gestured to the room, and all the whimsical happenings that had occured. "Erm, as you can see, it would seem that this power is something I have yet to fully restrain..." ----- You asked a pretty good question, so I hope this answered it well. Skip me!

The eyes of other dragons watched on, some with horror, others with pity, and a few with malicious glee. An eerie sound of scraping metal on crystal echoed throughout the large hall. The source of it was Tenebris'Terra's tail. Her tail was adorned with a nasty golden chain lined with spiked barbs cunningly disguised into the gold beads. Her eyes gleamed with an angry green fire. She curled her lips and at last a harsh snort blasted from her flared nostrils. Tenebris'Terra tossed her head and roared to several clan dragons in the hall. "Who let this fool into our presence?! Find Audens'Cor Ladarius and bring him here! Better yet, summon his entire Day's Watch!" The dragons in the hall scattered into the tunnels. Their furious pawsteps created a chaotic cadence that seemed to amuse Tenebris'Terra. Her lips curled into a vicious sneer. She affixed her gaze onto the fool that approached her husband. Her jaws opened to speak to her husband, but something gave her pause. There was a subtle droning sound, as if something was being drained from the crystalline main hall. Mage lights, once bright and merry, flickered and died one by one. The pink walls, once so bright, seemed to lose all rosy hue to be replaced by dark and eerie onyx. The only light that remained, either spilled in from the yawning cave mouth that marked the threshold into the main hall, and Tenebris'Cor's mask. Like spectral motes, the six points of ghastly light darted under the shifting hood. At last, a horrid rasp filled the chamber when Tenebris'Cor opened his jaws to speak. "And what right do you have stranger to barge into my home and hurl... Judgement? Do you think you are immune? Simply because you hail from afar?" A wretched laugh, soft at first that grew into a fit of mocking cackles split the hall. Tenebris’Cor’s fell voice continued. “Is it cruel to expect community members to pull their weight? To contribute to the welfare of their society? And what praise does laziness deserve? Nothing! It is simple. One reaps what one sows.” A rumbling purr emanated from Tenebris’Cor’s core. The glittering eyes of his mask disappeared as he melted into the darkness. There was only a faint rustle of cloth and clink of metal chains in the chamber before a harsher bellowing of arguing dragons heralded the arrival of two dragons. Stood at the entrance to the hall was a male Gaoler of crimson and white fur. His grand antlers regally captured the sunlight before he was harshly pushed into the main hall by the other dragon, a female Guardian of titanic proportions and ghastly appearances. She looked like plague incarnate, a cruelty glittered in her violet eyes. Claws scraping on the floor, the Gaoler straightened himself and seemed to hone in on Tenebris’Cor where he stood in the chamber. Tenebris’Cor hissed, “The punishment befits the crime. Insubordination and rebellion are tantamount to treason. But there is normally never just one bad actor in such cases.” The Gaoler produced a low growl. “You would know, cousin.” A derisive snort answered. “As by the law set by the Great Mother and Great Father, I ascended the throne by rite of combat. I bested the named successor and the Patriarch at the time and rightfully took my place. There are those, like Captain Ladarius here, that sow malcontent and try to subvert my rule out of [i]jealousy[/i].” Ladarius spat, “There was no formal declaration! You took advantage of your father’s coup!” Tenebris’Cor chuckled. “All of the theatrics is tiresome. If you want to be Patriarch so bad Ladarius, challenge my named successor and then challenge me. Again. Yet, I find myself annoyed and irritable. This is the seventeenth time you’ve allowed intruders into my midst Ladarius. All my patience and magnanimity has frayed. Punishing you has seemed to not get the message across. Although I am loathe to deny my wife that joy.” Ladarius curled his lip. Tenebris’Cor’s voice echoed with authority. “Bring those Gaoler whelps to Titan’s Rest. It’s time the punishment befit the crime AND the individual.” Ladarius snarled and launched at Tenebris’Cor, “You snake!” The grisly Guardian from before tackled Ladarius before he could reach Tenebris’Cor. The chamber erupted into dragons roaring in dismay and anger. The dark Skydancer was already fading away again. “You only have yourself to blame Ladarius. Well, and the stranger here. They are the one that questioned my methods. What better way than a demonstration? Ha! I love multi-tasking!” [rule] [b]SKIP ME[/b]

A rumbling purr emanated from Tenebris’Cor’s core. The glittering eyes of his mask disappeared as he melted into the darkness. There was only a faint rustle of cloth and clink of metal chains in the chamber before a harsher bellowing of arguing dragons heralded the arrival of two dragons. Stood at the entrance to the hall was a male Gaoler of crimson and white fur. His grand antlers regally captured the sunlight before he was harshly pushed into the main hall by the other dragon, a female Guardian of titanic proportions and ghastly appearances. She looked like plague incarnate, a cruelty glittered in her violet eyes.

Claws scraping on the floor, the Gaoler straightened himself and seemed to hone in on Tenebris’Cor where he stood in the chamber.

Tenebris’Cor hissed, “The punishment befits the crime. Insubordination and rebellion are tantamount to treason. But there is normally never just one bad actor in such cases.”

The Gaoler produced a low growl. “You would know, cousin.”

A derisive snort answered. “As by the law set by the Great Mother and Great Father, I ascended the throne by rite of combat. I bested the named successor and the Patriarch at the time and rightfully took my place. There are those, like Captain Ladarius here, that sow malcontent and try to subvert my rule out of jealousy.”

Ladarius spat, “There was no formal declaration! You took advantage of your father’s coup!”

Tenebris’Cor chuckled. “All of the theatrics is tiresome. If you want to be Patriarch so bad Ladarius, challenge my named successor and then challenge me. Again. Yet, I find myself annoyed and irritable. This is the seventeenth time you’ve allowed intruders into my midst Ladarius. All my patience and magnanimity has frayed. Punishing you has seemed to not get the message across. Although I am loathe to deny my wife that joy.”

Ladarius curled his lip.

Tenebris’Cor’s voice echoed with authority. “Bring those Gaoler whelps to Titan’s Rest. It’s time the punishment befit the crime AND the individual.”

Ladarius snarled and launched at Tenebris’Cor, “You snake!”

The grisly Guardian from before tackled Ladarius before he could reach Tenebris’Cor. The chamber erupted into dragons roaring in dismay and anger. The dark Skydancer was already fading away again. “You only have yourself to blame Ladarius. Well, and the stranger here. They are the one that questioned my methods. What better way than a demonstration? Ha! I love multi-tasking!”

"Well, my name name was a bit of an afterthought, more of a nickname that sort of just stuck. To be perfectly honest, I'm not too fond of strawberries myself. I ate one once, and my scales became terribly itchy, though it tasted quite nice." Satisfied with the dough, Strawberry placed the newly shaped lump into an oven, and pulled out a freshly heated crust. "Baking has always been a pleasant past time of mine, especially during my time at the snapper save. It was always so nice to be able to make something that brought a bit of happiness to others. But as for my favorite thing, I do love the light, and fluffy fillings of chiffon pies." Strawberry picked up the dessert she had been working on, it had a light green filling, with a mint leaf garnish, and chocolate cookie crumbles on top. "Would you care for a slice?" ----- Skip me!
