Works
Name: Makka
Gender: Female
Age: 43
Race: Half Elf
Magic Affinity: Fire
Artefact: Potions and concoctions.
Looks: Makka is a thin half elf on the
taller side for a woman. She has curly red hair she keeps rather short,
green eyes, a thin nose and full lips. Her pointed ears angle back and
stand close to her head. She enjoys wearing formfitting clothes (also
because they're easier to keep clean while experimenting) but they mostly
serve to make her look more gaunt.
Personality: Makka is rather patient for a firemage. Although
her patience greatly depends on what she's doing. She is very focused on
her research and surprisingly accommodating of her cousin who most other
fire mages would deem a pain in the rear. She is single-minded though and
often loses sight of rational morale when she is focused on something.
Skills:
*Can create bombs
and explosives from any item she finds by infusing it with her
magic.
*Has recently learned to set detailed and conditional
timers on her explosives.
Hobbies: Experimenting with her craft.
Family: Makka's family mostly lives in
the Temple of the Holy Triangle and as such they mostly intermarry with
same-sect people. Because of this their powers are powerful but a tad
traditional. Makka has been followed around by her cousin Beni
until she went offworld and bonded a dragon.
Bond: Orange Wild Sun (m) from Nidus Asteri (Empyrean
Stair)
Pets: Ruby Firelizard Dratty (f) who she got as a present from
Beni (from Lantessama Isle)
HATCHING
Visiting Nidus Asteri had been
an adventure. Planet Kynn with it's mysterious waters and floating islands
was a sight to behold, even for half elves who'd grown up on stories of
ancient magic. And then of course there were the dragons. Legendary beings
but with more differences than they Khleur magicians would have believed
possible. None were the same and they were just like people with
personalities and even bad habits of their own.
At Nidus Asteri they mainly learned about the Elessadian dragons. An old
race of dragons who'd been cursed at one point to die by humans. Concensus
among the half elves was that that's why Sei had been looking for half
elves and not humans on Khleur. Although, the Elessadians had survived by
bonding to humans who'd been sympathetic to their cause.
After several weeks of getting into a new routine, everything changed when
they were called to the eggs.
Souzen, with his youthful wind energy, reached the destination first.
Closely followed by Makka who would not deny that she still possessed some
youthful energy. Shirogane, Usuiro and Nadeshiko hurried but didn't rush
but they too arrived well within the necessary timeframe to be on time.
Four clutches were simultaneously hatching and as such there were a lot of
dragonets on the sand, chaotically making the task of the recordkeepers
difficult with their wandering. But none of the half elves worried about
records, their eyes were trained on the different dragons, hoping one
would approach them.
Usuiro was the first to gain favour with one of the hatchlings. The
enigmatic Light mage had caught the attention of a yellow female. She was
a good size and had an even temper. She'd marvelled at a little ball of
light he'd let twinkle and she wanted more. She waited patiently, but when
he did not move, she prodded his hands until he understood her wish.
"Willow" she introduced herself later, using
the image of a moonlit night full of fireflies that swarmed around the
trees in Usuiro's hometown.
Not much later, a blue male dragonet ran into Souzen, matching his energy.
The two barely managed to stay upright by balancing each other in a big
bearhug. It was clear that a bond was made. Souzen could not stop grinning
and talking and once his dragon had caught on, the chattering only
intensified. Later he would introduce himself as
"Breath by Sapphire", a cool name for a mighty dragon.
Nadeshiko was the next one to bond even if she stood way in the
back. Though the prejudice hadn't followed her to Kynn, it was difficult
to act differently from what she'd been taught her entire life. A green
dragonet found the musician to be just what she wanted. A proper lady who
would know how to act in the wider world. With poise, elegance and
dignity. She would later choose the name "Blessed
Whimsy", a lovely name for a lovely dragoness.
Shirogane, standing ramrod straight as if presenting herself to royalty,
was joined by a red female the colour of rubies. It was the first thing
Shirogane could think of and clearly the dragonet was pleased with the
reference to something so precious. She would later choose it for her name
with the addition of the softest sand to land in:
"Ruby Sand".
With all the others bonded, Makka relaxed visibly. It was at that point in
time that an orange male dragonet with bright blue wings approached. He'd
been watching her from early on but knew how to time his entrance
perfectly. Giving a little grunt, he drew the fire mage's attention and
then proceeded to grin. Makka grinned right back and would later explain
that the dragonet had shown her the beauty of a thousand suns flaring all
at once as if to show off his name: "Wild Sun".
ADULTHOOD
Keeping a Wild Sun under wraps would not be an easy task.
In fact, Makka decided that it would be a shame to keep such a brilliant
beauty hidden. She would go home of course, to report back but this was
the time to take up those vacation days and take a long trip through the
Nexus, visiting all the new worlds that had opened up to her and Wild Sun.
"We could find others of my kind!" he agreed.
"Already planning to bind yourself?"
"Don't you join with others of your kind without a
lifelong bond?"
"We should have called you Wild Oats instead of Wild Sun."
"We will not change it!" the dragon snorted,
but he knew Makka was joking so the tap he gave her with his tail was
light.
