Sugnaronos' Clan

((Lore under construction. *see bottom of lore for details on my return))

All was still and quiet, the ashes and decay of years and years of emptiness still haunted the land. The animals were just starting to come back, as new life was just beginning to grow. A lone guardian hatchling tracked through the decay, unsure of what had brought her here, but trusted the visions a mysterious being had sent her, her companion lagging well behind, exhausted from the long distance they had covered. The viridian labyrinth was not even remotely close to the sea of a thousand currents, and this land had long been destroyed by the beast clans of the past.

“There’s nothing here!” her companion complained, her feet were sore and she was hungry. She didn’t understand why the guardian dragon had brought them so far to this desolate place and cursed in the name of the tide bringer for going along with this charade in the first place. Weren’t guardian dragons meant to go on a trip like this when they were, I dunno, older? “Come on! I want to go home!!”

The Guardian dragon did not reply to the young sky dancer’s pleas, walking further forward towards a particularly large lump of desolate land that seemed to be unusually dense with growth. A voice told her to dig through it. So the young guardian began to dig to the best of her ability.

“What are you doing?!” her companion called out, making an extra effort to catch up to the crazy dragon following voices that the skydancer did not hear, “You brought us here to dig a giant hole?”

The guardian dragon kept digging, so the skydancer felt there was nothing else to do but dig too. Anything to get them home faster. But soon under the large pile of nothingness, a face was uncovered. The dragon’s stopped digging, astonished.

“Is it dead?” The guardian dragon asked, dismayed. The skydancer shrugged. “Only one way to find out.”
“Khadra, no!” But it was too late. The skydancer was poking the dragons face, pushing at it’s lips, poking at it’s ears, it’s eyes. After a long while of nothing happening, the skydancer sat back, proud of her own bravery. “Ha! It’s not even alive! Nothing is going to happen!” Khadra got up and brushed herself off. “Come on. Nothing is here. Let’s go back.” The guardian dragon got up disappointed. Had she done something wrong? Was this all just some cruel joke brought upon her from some unknown force? She turned to leave, when she heard a large snorting sound behind her, as she turned, one deep green eye opened up, taking in the scene before it. The dragon began to move, the land falling down around it, raising up to a terrifying height, eyes fixed on the two hatchlings before it.

Startled, the two hatchlings ran to get away, but despite his seeming deadness, the dragon was bigger and faster than them, he covered their distance in two strides. A deep, gentle voice addressed them, the wildclaw blocking the water hatchlings escape in all directions, due to his size. “Are you hurt? Is everything okay? They haven’t harmed you have they?”

Confused and still a bit frightened, the two hatchlings gave each other confused looks, before looking up at the dragon with uncertainty. “You do not know what I’m talking about….” The dragon trailed off, he raised his head to look around, and finally saw the desolation around him. “It’s gone…. all gone…how long…how long have I been…” The dragon sat down, seemingly defeated. His clan, his home, all of it, gone….

Khadra looked concerned but the guardian hatchling went up to the old wildclaw dragon, drawing his attention to the other mounds of life scattered throughout the land. More of his clan could be out there. And then they would have to start anew, and find a new place to call home, in the Viridian Labyrinth.
