Description: A fair-skinned moon fairy with dark hair, butterfly antennae, pointed ears and black pupils on black sclera.

Isilmë doesn't linger on what the melodies do. They just flow naturally and almost subconsciously. Though Isilmë is intelligent, they are whimsical and easily distracted with few plans for the future.

Story
Ashkah'Jeshan - Jesh to his friends if he'd ever have them - looked warily across the terrain. Though a proper dragon, he was far from fearsome and most people would chance his wrath in exchange for a piece of his quartz and silver scales. He'd gotten quite adept at seeking asylum at the proper facilities, but even there the officals were sometimes blinded by greed.
Sometimes it was just better to lay low and wait for people to forget him. He'd done so numerous times before, using his regenerating breath to keep himself in tip top shape despite long periods of inactivity that felt almost like hibernating while he watched the stars and practiced his magic. He could of course portal out but that had hardly ever changed things for the better. His presence always caused the most fuss right after he'd gone someplace new.
Unfortunately, his intended hideout seemed to not be as desolate as he'd expected it to be. Jesh could hear singing. Cautious, the Gem dragon moved forward. A white-clad humanoid stood with his eyes closed and his face turned toward the moon. The song he sang was sweet and wistful and seemed to lull the bright dragon into dropping his barriers and defences.
Thus was how Isilmë caught wind of their audience and their song turned ever so slightly painful, like little needles pricking. Jesh felt more uncomfortable than hurt but realised his faux-pas.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. My name is Ashkah'Jeshan and I wanted to lodge here for a night." Or the foreseeable future.
With a voice reminiscent of bells, Isilmë replied: "I am Isilmë of the Moon and the Light. I claim no land so you are free to rest here."
"Thank you. Do not let my presence keep you from singing."
"It won't."
Supported by finger-tapping, Isilmë continued and before he knew it, Jesh was fast asleep. And when he awoke, the moon fairy was still there. Jesh felt closer to them though and understood that they were fairly different from humans and many other species he'd encountered thus far. After all, his scales had been there for the taking and all Isilmë had done, was play music.
"Are you headed somewhere?" Jesh tried to make conversation.
"No?" Isilmë responded, jangling bracelets.
"What could he be doing out here?" Jesh thought.
"Singing?" Isilmë replied telepathically.
"Would you mind if I listen some more?"
"No."
A pleasant vibration filled Jesh' being as he listened. The singing was so very comforting, like a warm blanket wrapped around him. And it resonated deep inside him, as if isilmë knew all of his thoughts, and maybe the moon fairy did.

Flight
Cold and warm seasons had come and gone. Wet periods had changed to dry days and the sun had traversed many times. But still Ashkah'Jeshan was living at the base of the mountains together with the odd moon fairy that came and went. Both travelled at times, but they spent their nights together, unbridled by such constraints as space or time.
"Might we take a trip together?" Jesh one day asked.
"Whereto?" Isilmë queried.
"I don't know. maybe to someplace with other dragons. I think they would love your songs just as much."
"As long as there is a moon I don't mind."
"That's easy." Jesh considered, and maybe in the process he'd be able to enter a mating flight for some added excitement.
