 "Mhm! It's pretty hard to harvest so not many are exported." He explained, sniffing the air as soon as they entered the cave. While he could make out the outlines of the food, he couldn't quite tell what each food was but was naturally drawn to the fruits section. Letting his nose lead him, he picked out a few fruits that seemed interesting enough that he was willing to try. He stayed clear of one particularly spiky fruit though, the pungent scent assaulting his nose in a way that was almost offensive. There was a pleasant almost fiery smell coming from one place and he wandered over to it. One of the dishes had faint notes of salt the sea. "Is this the grilled squid you were talking about?" He wondered, blinking a few times. The shape was weird but he could kind of understand how an animal like this was made for the water  Taking mostly bugs and a few fruits, Lyn slid into the seat beside Frost. He was a little bit interested in the book that the other had [Read more] |

"We always ate from the earth. We were born from the earth so we take what she gives us." He admitted, wondering what grilled squid tasted like. It would be different from the plants that he and his family liked to solely graze on. He wondered what it would even look like, what it would smell like. There was a whole world that he didn't know and he ached to experience it. "Mostly it was fruits or leaves but whatever the earth gives us we take it with gratefulness. We also get bugs sometimes if we're desperate. but most of the time we ate a lot of plants. Um.. I guess I like dragon fruit. It was a plant that we didn't get often but there's a desert groove near our home that has rows and rows of cacti and if you wait for the right season you can get a lot of fruit." It was a funny how Pitaya had been the one to find said cactus groove. Mother Earth had led him there, her gentle touch a careful and guiding as he saw the world once again through new eyes. The Pitaya groove, as his family called it. After the fruit, after the dragon. [Read more] |

It felt good to simply run through the halls, but Lyn still longed to stretch his flight wings. That would come later, he supposed as he barely beat Frost. Perhaps it was because he had expended a lot of electricity on the first race but it was thrilling to have such close competition. He was about to point that out when Frost quite possibly traveled faster than the speed of sound and loaded up on a mountain of bugs. Her plate looked ready to buckle under the sheer number of grasshoppers and he had to stifle a laugh at how eager she was. "Don't worry, bugs were all we ate too." He assured, wandering over a much more relaxed pace to load his own plate full of bugs. Being primarily airborn for most of their lives, bugs was the easiest food to catch. After all, they shared the same habitat and were the easiest to hunt. Some more adventurous hatchlings caught birds but that was quickly spat out as having blood running down one's maw while learning how to safely avoid lightning was inconvenient at best. Sometimes, they also ate grass, becoming a secondary supplement in their diet due to it's bountiful nature but bugs were always the most consistent meal the flock had. "I get you, don't even get me started on fish. Those things both look disgusting and smell even worse." He fake gagged, nodding slightly to the greenish dragon that was scarfing down on fish. "Bugs are so much better." Of course he didn't hate the dragon eating the frankly unappetizing dish but he couldn't fathom finding them appealing. They just... stared blankly into your soul and revealing all your deepest sins as you ate them. Gross [Read more] |

The stories were marvelous, he could almost get lost in the wonder of it all. But that was soon shattered as the bell chimed, signaling that food was available. Again, when the announcement rang Pitaya jumped and looked around almost wildly for the source of the voice. "A-ahaha yes I have heard talk of some of that." He agreed with Aether's words. Some dragons weren't very discreet with their intentions and while he had good hearing, it wasn't like the others were trying to hide it. Especially a certain dragon that carried notes of smoke, fire, and the ocean. Gently getting up to his feet, he tapped the ground in front of him to get a good image of his surroundings. It seemed empty enough and he moved closer to Aether with a smile. "Well, let's go. What kind of food do you like usually?" There was a black book. It was almost inky, swirling with blue and grey as the pages themselves rumbled with enticement. It was evidently a book that She had written, Her signature written all over the midnight pages. Cradling the book between his claws, Lyn almost didn't want to read it but the bell reminded him that he didn't have much time. Taking a quick look around, he made sure no one was watching before slipping the book between the folds of his torn cowl in a hidden pouch. A book like this shouldn't be on the musty shelves of a forgotten libraries and while he wouldn't steal it per say, he'd definitely return it, but he needed to have it transcribed. With his stolen goods carefully tucked away, he smiled to Frost and nodded. "Race you there?" He teased, antenna swaying in mirth. [Read more] |

Soaking up the words, the adventure was described so vividly that Pitaya almost could visualize the sprawling jungle and the flaming sunset settling over the crystalline sea. It sounded like a dream come true to travel to such scenic locations, exploring the lands without a care in the world. To travel the world, to see it through the ground and take in all that Mother had to give, that just sounded splendid. Perhaps one day. "That sounds amazing." He admitted, a look of longing crossing his face. "Did you two always like travelling? It must be nice to have a sibling who shares your interests." Oh the moment he learned who had made her think like that, Lyn was going to do some very unspeakable things to them that may or may not involve a whole lot of electricity and maybe a little haunting. Still he nodded but not before muttering "I don't give out complements lightly. Don't waste my time doubting my words. You could have beaten me so take pride in that." With that, he made his way over to the aforementioned section, getting a head start on combing through the archives. In conjuncture, he kept an eye out for any books that would mention Her or The Storms. [Read more] |

"You did really well." Lyn praised, unable to keep the self satisfied smirk off his snout. Sure, he had cheated using the electricity stored in his body and his numerous wings but it still felt good. He was about to help Frost up when an unfamiliar dragon approached them, calling Frost's name. He immediately stiffened and tucked his wings to his side, and checked on the myriad of jewelry that sat on his claws. It was almost a miracle how none of them had fallen off during the race. If Lyn looked at it a certain way, it almost looked like the ghastly shadows which curled around his legs originated from the rings, making it look like the metal itself was haunted. How interesting.

Watching with mouth agape, Lyn chuckled at the cheekiness the other exhibited. He certainly wasn't expecting the other to quip back like that but it was certainly a pleasant surprise. Not many were willing to push his buttons, but it was a welcome change. He could still vaguely remember where the library was from when he had taken a look at the map and his head feathers wiggled in excitement at the prospect of a chase. For a moment it was as if time stood still before the burning metal of ozone crackled and Lyn was off. As the hallways were a bit too cramped to unfurl all four of his flight wings, Lyn settled for dashing through the ancient stone with long nimble legs, electricity sparking from his limbs as he bounded past startled dragons. It was almost freeing to simply run after the faint trail of snowflakes and mist that seemed to follow the icy fae. Frost was quick, possibly even quicker than Lyn if he was humble enough to admit it (He wasn't) but Lyn didn't let that fact bother him as he let his head wings, often used for steering and sharp maneuvers give him a little more lift. With a crackle of lightning, he was suddenly running alongside the spry dragon. "On your left." He teased, before passing her leaving behind ghostly footprints that dissipated in a blink and the faint ringing of jewelry [Read more] |

Pitaya practically glowed under the praise, the scent of freshly bloomed flowers beginning to perfume the vast hall as a few shy flowers popped into existence along his crown. He perked up at the idea of hearing more stories, however, eager to learn and listen to them. He had rarely wandered past the groove of caves and flowers that had been his family's nest, the Academy being the furthest he had ever been away from what could be called "home". "Oh please do!" He trilled, excitement at the prospect of hearing about the world lighting up his eyes. "Does your sister also go to the Academy?" That was an interesting suggestion. Lyn usually didn't bother with libraries, much preferring action over study but in this case it would be advantageous to educate himself before embarking on their little extracurricular exploration. Nodding in agreement, he lifted himself out and offered one of his large expansive wings out to Frost to climb onto. "Just so you don't fall behind." He teased the much smaller dragon, his trouble-making grin making that fact clear [Read more] |

"I'm blind, not helpless." He pouted, blinking a few times to orient himself. As his senses opened up again, the vibrations of Mother Earth gently caressing his paws and opening his sightless eyes. "But I'm not opposed to spending more time with you. You're an interesting dragon..." It was true. While many other dragons simply left Pitaya alone or actively antagonized him. Sure his family was accommodating and did their best to look over him but it always felt slightly suffocating under their care. He was still a dragon, not a brittle gem. Aether was one of the first to treat him like any other dragon. A being with agency and competency and he immediately latched onto that Lyn actually didn't know. Still, he checked over his map and the assignment sheet he was given. Amber dorm and according to the map it was pretty far away from the Great Hall. It was a non issue though as he wanted to talk with Frost a bit more. "Amber dorm." He relayed, tucking the pieces of paper back into his scales. "But I was thinking about taking a walk around the school. I want to see if there's any secrets the school has to offer before the tour. Who knows, maybe there more to these halls than what meets the eye." His thunderous eyes glimmered with unrepressed mischief, as he was dying to see if there were any hidden passageways that led into the restricted areas. Particularly the Crystal Chamber [Read more] |

It was almost embarrassing how he jumped the moment Aether nudged his claw, claw bumping against the paper. Having been swept away from the windchimes and nature, he had simply let his mind wander along with the winds. He hadn't even realized that Tren had begun speaking, having found comfort in the soft sounds that Aether still made. Once he got the gist of what was going on, mostly through context clues by simply listening to those around him, he ran his sensitive paws over the parchment once more. It wasn't quite visible to the naked eye but the restricted areas were raised higher than the rest, the area outlining where the crystal was kept having small indents on the dome of the marks, highlighting them even more. "Oh... That's odd..." He murmured, running his paw over the dotted words again. "Why would they put something so important on a map of all things? And... announce it so publicly? It's almost like they're asking for it to be shattered..." That sent an uncomfortable shudder through his body, something dark curling under his belly His headwings fluttered as he stared at the map and Lyn glanced over subtly at Frost. She seemed to know a lot more about the crystal than he did. It wasn't surprising as hatchlings of the Stormwatcher Flock were kept away from the world, raised by the community and given little knowledge of the world. Briefly he wondered if it was worth the punishment just to go down to the crystal and investigate it. It seemed to be an artifact of great power and if it could help him understand electricity better, then he was willing to face expulsion and shame just to catch a glimpse of such an artifact. Ultimately, he stayed silent and resolved to subtly bring up the idea to Frost once the ceremony was over [Read more] |

He frowned at the news, concerned yet surprised. Each year reports of storms becoming fiercer and fiercer grew and more areas were being designated as unsafe for young to tackle. It was worrying to say the least. He too hoped that these were just a temporary spike in incidents and not a sign of something worse to come, but before he could express such sentiments, the ceremony began. Nodding in affirmation, he turned his attention to the stage and let himself relax. The wings on his head fluttered in worry as the deputy headmaster mentioned the Crystal of Power. He had no idea what that was but for someone so high up in the hierarchy to mention it, it was more than suspicious. As subtly as he could, he unfolded the map he was given and began to see if he could find the mentioned room [Read more] |

While he hadn't visited the area, the name of it was definitely familiar. Indeed it was a area where some members of the flock would travel to during storming season. As it was a notoriously dangerous area with not only raging storms but freezing temperatures, only older and more experienced members would travel there so it was likely that it was either the matriarch, one her mates, or another similarly high ranking member that Frost had met. One day, Lyn would be good enough to travel there but for now, it was just another pipe dream "The pleasure is all mine." He corrected, his lightning almost warmer and softer in reflection of exactly how pleased he was. "I'm pleased that the flock has been able to help your area. Tell me, have the storms there gotten worse? Your area is quite famous for its frigid environments and tumultuous weather and if there's things that the flock can do, then we will do our best."

Oh, did this little dragon live in an area that his flock had ventured to before? Many of his kin tended to look similar mostly due to a prevailing problem of inbreeding and the belief that the collective was much more important that the whole so any distinctions between selves was generally looked down upon. It wasn't odd to think that some dragons may mistake one member of the clan for another. Still he fanned out his many wings in a traditional sign of respect for Frost. He was careful not to hit anyone, a difficult task as his wings were large and numerous. Still, he gave his respects and greeted the smaller dragon properly. "I am known as Lyn of the Stormwatcher Flock." He introduced himself, a distinct note of pride tinting his voice when he spoke of his flock. "Members of the flock tend to travel to various settlements to preform their duties so it is not odd to think that you have seen dragons similar to me. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

His head wings fluttered slightly, surprise coloring each wingbeat. Well that was a powerful ability and he could feel a grudging respect bubble up within him. He nodded in gratefulness as the crackle of ice impressed him. It was a display of power and beauty all in one, a work of art if he was to be cheesy. It was almost enough to make him jealous though that was quickly quashed when Forst complemented him. It was almost a point of pride for his flock to be as close to the storms as possible, blending within the clouds with the colouration being a marker of how important one was to the flock. To hear someone else praise his appearance was certainly a boost to his ego "Ah, thank you. It's honestly troublesome but I am honoured that you find it stunning." He nodded, tipping his head towards Frost. "Though you should perhaps look at yourself. Your wings especially are almost crystalline and quite dazzling." [Read more] |

He nodded and let the song wash over him. It was almost like coming home, running around the glades and dancing among the arching caves that had littered the fields of flowers. The wind chimes which lined some of the arches ringing with his laughter, joining in the swaying of flowers and foliage. It was home stripped down to its barest bones and it almost hurt to see the bursts of colors that he knew were there but could never see again. But still, he took comfort in the chimes and relaxed into it. His own low rumble joined in harmony, a steady tone that supported the sweeping instrumentation. How daring of someone to sit beside him. Shifting slightly, he folded up his numerous wings to give the other more room. He couldn't quite control the electricity yet, the only surefire way to simply discharge them and in a space like this it was less than ideal to unleash a whole storm. After all, this was the entire reason why he was here, to learn to better control the powers that even he didn't quite know the extent of. "Do be careful." He grunted out anyways, moving a few seats down as one particular arc of lightning struck a bit too close to Frost. He wasn't going to be responsible for someone getting electrified for his own incompitance [Read more] |

Involuntarily, Pitaya's eyes fluttered shut as he let the music wash over him. If he focused on the windswept tune which gently floated above the chaotic chattering, the jumble of information which assaulted his senses almost seemed to fade into the background. Still present but no longer so glaring that it felt like Pitaya's head was about to split open. The effects were visible as all the tension that had been bunched up within the burly dragon's shoulders was suddenly released and his whole body sagged in relief. The happiness and comfort that was almost baked into the song seemed to be the key to getting such an uptight dragon to finally unravel. Pitaya still had half the mind to hold back the rumbling purr that tickled the back of his throat, shame and propriety keeping him from vocally expressing his contentment in such a primal matter "Thank you..." He murmured, not wanting to talk any longer in fear of breaking such a precious bubble of peace. "Nyx was it? I'm Pitaya and you have my eternal gratitude." Lyn had long since entered the Great Hall, having been surveying the grand place before the announcement even came. Therefore, he had the best seat as he had been the first one to arrive. Sitting primly, he ignored how everyone kept a wide berth around him. He understood that others were wary of the lightning that arched across his body, leaping from scale to scale in a impressive display of lights. Of course it was nowhere near as dazzling as what the Light dragons could produce but it gave Lyn an otherworldly aura that warned other dragons away from him. That was fine with Lyn, he wasn't looking for companionship. Other dragons would simply weigh him down in his quest to learn how to better harness his abilities. After all, he couldn't disappoint his family any more than he already had. [Read more] |

Tsukoyomi Character name: Lyn Gender: Male Element: Electric and Shadow Hybrid Appearance:  Tall, Slender, Graceful. Lyn is everything that one would expect out of a dragon with a prestigious pedigree. With four wings, one skeletal pair wide enough to tough the clouds and another wickedly sharp and sleek, Lyn can appear intimidating especially with his vibrant blue eyes that are always sparking with electricity. He has four more wings that replace his crown feathers, mainly used to help adjust his flying and provide drag. His black and azure scales denotes his element visibly and he is always decked out in glimmering yet fragile jewelry. With every step he takes, smoke curls out from under his paws, dissipating into the shadows that they were formed from Personality: A little haughty and very egotistical, Lyn knows his worth and how powerful he is. His family has been directing storms away from settlements for generations and he takes immense pride in it, earning him the nickname of "Little Princess." If there is one surefire way to break his ice prince like mask, it is to call him that unsightly nickname to his face. Watch as he rages and storms like the elements he wields, his ego as frail as his confidence in himself Abilities: Eye of the Storm Electricity passes through Lyn's body like a fish does through water. He is impervious to it, shrugging off even the worst of burns and strikes, acting as a conduit if needed. If he so chooses, he can store and expel electricity though storing it for prolonged periods of time will lead to muscle cramp and eventually atrophy Ghastly Princeling As one of Her damned children, Lyn has the ability to commune with spirits. This ability is in full effect when a thunderstorm rages and is weakest when the Sun is at its peak. He can issue commands to these spirits but it comes at the cost of sleepless nights and eerie footsteps. Those who dare trifle with death will be marked as such Light's Shadow Master of the Storms, Caller of Destruction, Lightning himself. Lyn can become one with the storms, his own body physically becoming storm clouds that conjure up relentless lightning and crashing thunder. It is difficult to hit him in this state but he can be unpredictable, unable to distinguish friend from foe Palpad?: Wynaut Password: Glowstick Boi Other: He has luminescent markings. [Read more] |

"Ah... uh yes. I'm blind so I don't really know what you look like, forgive me." He admitted, nodding. It wasn't anything shameful to him but it always made things weird when that particular card was revealed. Dragons would automatically assume that he was an invalid and trip over themselves to patronize and infantilize him despite him being fully functional without his sight. He just couldn't see, it wasn't like he suddenly couldn't take care of himself. His soft demeanor certainly didn't help with the image as people would often assume him to be naive to the world's horrors as he had never physically witnessed them. Even worse were the dragons who pretended to be helpful only to lead him straight into trees or walk him off cliffs just for a laugh or two. Of course, nothing bad ever came out of such encounters but they were unpleasant nonetheless. He hoped that Nyx or Aether or whatever name this dragon chose to go by wasn't one of those dragons.

Flinching at the unexpected voice so close to him, Pitaya whipped around and only received a jumbled image of what he assumed was the dragon he had talked to a few times already. "Ah... uh... It's loud. Too loud. But I think I'm okay." He mumbled, trying his best not to flinch when a loud peal of laughter shook the room. The vibrations running through the floor was giving him too much information at once and even if he closed his cloudy eyes it wouldn't help chase the images away. Instead he turned to Aether and tried his best to smile, though it came off more like a grimace "So how are you settling in?" He ventured meekly, figuring that it was rude to not at least try and make niceties with someone he had run into multiple times. [Read more] |

Diamond dorm had been... interesting. While he had claimed one of the lower bunks just out of safety and for his own peace of mind, it had been quite empty for lack of a better word. He was sure it was beautiful but by virtue of being blind, he couldn't tell. The announcement coming out of nowhere had him warbling in fright as he looked around to try and see where the voice was coming from. The announcement itself only had his glimmering gems dulling even more as the dragon trembled at the implications of such a ceremony. Regardless, a teacher knocked on the door and helped lead Pitaya out towards the Great Hall. It was almost embarrassing to have to enlist the help of a teacher for such a mundane task but as soon as he was led to a seat within the hall fairly removed from the others, Pitaya relaxed. Curling up, he braced himself for the flood of information that would undoubtedly follow as more and more dragons filled up the hall with their vibrations and chatter, each sound overwhelming his senses.
