Within miles and miles of bare ocean, you find a serene fountain, known as the Resplendent Reservoir. The water flows gracefully, vibrant and sparkling as it pours into the ocean. It’s a wonderfully tranquil location, one that has remained hidden until your arrival. Atop the fountain is a beautiful pale Skydancer with a long, flowing golden mane, dressed in garments as pure as freshly fallen snow. The elegant Queen of the Reservoir sobs dramatically at her lone spot. ...That might be why the fountain is overflowing today.

Wahhhh-" [emoji=skydancer scared size=1][/i][/center] The Queen of the Reservoir notices you, a kind and helpful traveler who has found their way to this typically quiet fountain, shocked at the display. [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/874270/87426945p.png[/img]: [i]"Hey you! Can you help me find my babies?"[/i] [emoji=skydancer winking size=1] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/rALZSYi.png[/img][/center] She crawls up to you with a pleading expression and hands you [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/lair/662455/2505272?name=&type=undefined]a poster[/url] with pictures of all her darling children (just the first page of this lair tab), right next to her wedding photos. You notice that she looks exactly like her photo. It seems she never changed out of her gown, and her husband is still in his wedding attire too if you see him flying around. This Ice and Wind couple have delightfully celebrated their union by creating their own little civilization, all starting with this fountain. They live blissfully unaware of the conflict currently going on between their home territories. Sky enjoys spending her time caring for her children, dressing them up, and bartering with passersby for more clothing and furnishings to make their home cozy. Her husband, the King of the Reservoir, works diligently to develop their territory, taking breaks only when it's time to nest. Every piece of material used to build their home has been thoughtfully shaped and lovingly placed by his own hands. He also takes on the responsibility of hunting and gathering, often bringing along their eldest son and the royal retainer for these adventures. The residents of the Reservoir are spread out all over Sornieth due to an unexpected blizzard that has disrupted their peaceful day. Skydancers and Imperials with their flamboyant peacock markings or okapi stripes may be found hanging in a tree, stranded in the ocean, or buried under a blanket of snow, waiting to be rescued. They might wander off and lose their place again (don't worry if another poster chose a dragon first). Your help in finding Sky's offspring is always sincerely appreciated!

Dragon you're rescuing: Gunnbjorn [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92946563][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/929466/92946563_350.png[/img][/url] Rescuer: Ryd Solis [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/52634982][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/526350/52634982_350.png[/img][/url] [center] - Ryd takes a headcount of the shivering bodies once again. One, two three... One, two three... Meticulously going over each and every single one to make sure every dragon under his care is accounted for. The blizzard the clan was keeping track of picked up speed faster than any of them had anticipated, and now Ryd, and his deputy [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/25406685]Oil[/url] were taking shelter with many other inhabitants of the Twisting Crecendo. Just as soon has the large spotted Guardian dragon was beginning to relax, a cry rang out from the storm. A twisting blue body had been carried away into the blizzard, writhing, unable to take flight in the unpredictable winds. In an instand, Ryd sprang out into the storm, ordering his trusted deputy to stay back in the shelter. The biting cold prickled at his claws as he lept, desperately inching closer towards the dragon caught in the winds. It was a Skydancer, he realized as he drew closer. The poor thing's wings were blown out and he was unable to stop himself from being dragged out further by the raging gusts. Ryd kept his wings pinned closely to his torso to avoid the same fate. Finally, he lunges toward the wayward dragon, grasping his body roughly in his paws. Ryd lowers his head and fans out his large wings, creating a tent around himself and the Skydancer to temporarily protect him from the snow. Ryd's heavy armor rattles loudly as the storm shows him no mercy. He wraps the blue Skydancer in his scarf before slowly, ever so slowly, draging him back to the safety of the shelter. They're both shivering and sniffling when they return, immediately being crowded by the other dragons. Blankets and warm beverages are pressed into their paws. They're safe now, Ryd thinks to himself. He'll make sure everyone gets home safely when the winds die down. He has to. [/center]
