Works
Name: Souzen
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: Half Elf
Magic Affinity: Wind
Artefact: Essence of Wind
Looks: Tall and lanky,
Souzen is trying to catch up to his growth spurt. Despite his height, most
people clearly see that he is still very young. He has straight dark brown
hair, clear blue eyes, a comparatively large nose and mouth and pointy
ears. He doesn't inspire much fear in others as he usually smiles and has
a tendency to fidget.
Personality: Souzen is easily flustered. He is at that age
where he wants to make a name for himself but it a bit too impatient to
let the experience build naturally. As such he is prone to taking on too
much work. His superior priests at the Square of Blue are keeping an eye
on him though. As long as he doesn't go too far over his limits, they'll
leave him be to learn just how far he can go without harming himself.
Skills: When releasing his bottled essence of
wind, he can ask it to do his bidding.
Hobbies: Playing with his wind magic in the forest, rustling
leaves and helping birds fly.
Family: Souzen grew up
in the Sect of Wind Magicians as the fifth child of his parents. He has a
lot of cool older siblings to catch up to and is hoping to be promoted to
monk so he can go travelling. Currently he is still an acolyte and he
needs to travel under supervision or go on short missions from the Sect
headquarters.
Bond: Blue Breath By Sapphire (m) from Nidus Asteri (Empyrean
Stair)
Pets: None yet but he would definitely like to keep a bird
once he's a bit older.
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
"Should
we go back too?" Sapphire asked.
"We probably should.... but..."
"There is the option of adventure." the blue
dragon grinned.
Souzen sighed, "Do you think they'll be mad?"
"Who cares? We won't be around to be punished
anyway."
"That's actually a good reason to do as we want!"
