Yes, but I need to sort out my lair and the next expansion is 30,000, give me a week or so...sorry :( I keep hording pretty dragons and breeding them and I don't want to exalt but if I go to sell any my paranoia says "they're gonna exalt them!" Dammit!
The woes of being a newb.

The Skydancer folded her sun spangled wings close to her body as she made the last of her ritual bows; once to accept the fire-starter from her father, twice for the water-bacelet from her mother, and a third time to the rest of her clan for their blessings. The calls for luck and the Favor of the Glademother rang in the young dragons' ears as she spread her wings again and ran for the cliff edge.
This was not her first flight, but it was an another important milestone; now she sought the name the Glademother intended for her. The soft rain of the Everbloom Gardens convinced her to seek higher winds, and she turned her flight to the west, toward the old Dragonhome.
Before she could reach that place of parched earth and crumbling monuments, a patch of color drew her eye downward. The light of the high sun was glinting off a lake and gleaming like a lovely golden bauble her mother had. The Nameless Skydancer had been taught to watch for the signs of the Glademother's intent, and so she folded her wings and descended.
At the shore of the lake, she discovered a strange phenomenon: despite the warm spring the dominated the real world, the forest reflected in this lake was already turning toward autumn colors. In the mirror of the lake, the branches of the birch trees were mottled with vibrant gold and red leaves, the reeds and rushes showing signs of being bleached by the summer sun. Where nests of waterbirds were in reality, fully fledged young ducks and swans glided upside down across the gently rippling waters.
Only her own reflection remained unchanged in the lake's odd transmutation, her swallow-tailed wings and the striations of her body matching the colors of the birch trees quite naturally.
"Oh." The young Skydancer said, certain of the meaning of the vision now. "I am Autumn, despite being born in Spring."

Nebula, true to her name, was utterly fascinated with stars and the night sky. Her parents would often remark that a more suited child they couldn't have had, born with a clown hide that looked like more suited to a star chart and nebulas on her shimmery wings. If you couldn't find her in the lair then you'd best be looking up to the highest branches, for without doubt that's where you'll find her. Her parents will swear that heights are her second love and they wouldn't be far off.
So finally when she goes to her parents and tells them she wants to know what the stars look like from all corners of Sorneith they only sigh and begin preparing. They pack everything for her that she could possibly need and she sets out. Indeed she travels far and wide from the awe inspiring horizons of Dragonhome to the glowing skies of the Starfall Isles to aurora filled nights of the Southern Icefield. However as she said she wanted to know the skies of all corners of Sornieth and less then ideal conditions wouldn't stop her. If she wants to know the stars beyond the thundering clouds of the Shifting Expanse or in the heart of the Twisting Crescendo then that is exactly what she's going to find out. Of course one of the best was saved for last and she is now in the Ashfall Wastes, one of the most notoriously hard places to stargaze unless the winds are favorable but never let it be said Nebula isn't up for the challenge. She's got patience to spare and doesn't like leaving a job unfinished.

Now her brother on the other hand was more down to earth in his own way. He dreamt just as big as she did but he kept his eyes on what was earthbound. He had a fondness for cloth and thread and took to making hammocks and clothes for his clanmates. Most would look at his darker and duller hide compared to even his sister and think him a darker soul for it but natures' eyes do not lie and he painted his world in colors fit for a garden and sewed beauty into tapestries that were sought for a kings' ransom. He even honed the magic inherited from his father and began to learn the art of accent magic.
He too left home to see the world and experience all its wonders so he might put even more life into his work. Part way through his journey he meets his sister again and they travel together to a small new clan in the Emberglow Hearths, he didn't expect to stay long, merely rest and then move forward. This was not in the cards though for upon arrival he is struck by a vision of beauty of which he has seen no compare and is captivated on sight. He sees not just the radiant light upon her scales but the comforting shadows within and he wants to express this contradiction in every way he can find until the end of his days.

I kinda wanted the boy at first and had a thought or two about him but I thought it wouldn't work and so I left but then I came back and realized the girl had the prettiest wings ever and wanted her but then I looked again at her brother and knew I wanted both. And the captivating beauty is this girl:
