Vesuvius

Born from the world's core of lava Vesuvius was granted life in draconis form by the old Gods and titans to help shape the world by creating volcanoes. He also had the gift of being able to cause their eruptions and explosions at will. As he grew into adulthood a dark titan appears and began to corrupt Vesuvius. He began to use his gifts for destruction. Turning against the old Gods and the titans who had granted him life and bestowed his gifts upon him.

Wars were fought for hundreds of turns to keep the dark titan and his army from taking over the world. Vesuvius his main destructor since his ability to shape and destroy land could wipe out entire armies and clans.

During one such fierce battle came a miracle. A sole survivor. A young unnamed wildclaw who's whole family had been killed. Ordered by the dark titan to show no mercy and destroy the young hatchling Vesuvius was sent back to kill him. Upon finding the hatchling and readying for the death blow Vesuvius stopped. Something about this hatchling dragon caused great hesitation. Again Vesuvius tried to bathe the hatchling lava but couldn't. Sensing the danger the wildclaw lashed out with the power of lightning striking Vesuvius. The jolt was great enough that Vesuvius's eyes turned blue. A vision came into his mind that this wildclaw was very important. Vesuvius conflicted decided to release the hatchling. Sort of. He bathed the hatchling in lava but cooled it almost immediately encasing him. The hatchling would be hurt. Possibly forever scarred. But he'd live. Vesuvius left.

Over the turns more battles were fought but Vesuvius never forgot about the hatchling. The push for world dominance had come. Old Gods and titans had joined the fight against the dark titan and his armies. For days the battle raged with losses on each side. However the old Gods and the titans had started to gain ground on the enemy. In an odd turn of events Vesuvius was struck down during the battle. He awoke to find himself in chains, wings bound and in some sort of a light bubble. The "bubble" he was in was blocking his gifts. He could not break free. Confused he looked around and saw a Fae dragon flit off chittering and cheeping upon seeing he was awake. A short while later four dragons walked in. One seeming strangely familiar. A very large imperial dragon seemed to be the leader. The imperial gazed down at Vesuvius. His light eyes whirling. Studying him. The imperial looked over to the wildclaw and then at the other two dragons. Vesuvius roared in outrage at their telepathic communication. The hovering fae disappeared while the other four just looked at him. The imperial looked at him once more. Vesuvius started to receive mental pictures of his past. The him as the creator. The him before his corruption. "Why are you doing this to me?" he thought at the imperial. The imperials eyes started to whirl faster. He only said "Remember who you are." The imperial turned and walked out. The fae followed. The three remaining dragons stood there. Were they guarding him?? What was he going to do bound and unable to use his gifts?

Exhausted Vesuvius fell asleep. He awoke several hours later. His three guards still there. He eyed them. The nocturne saw he was awake and alerted the other two. The nocturne asked if he was hungry. Vesuvius snorted stating he could happily eat several herd beasts. They eyed him speculatively. He said to them "I won't hurt you guys or this clan. Can't use my gifts remember? Not to mention I am still very weak". The barrier came down and his meal placed before him. He wanted to tear into the fresh meat with his jaws but his claws were still bound. Not a courteous way for lesser God to eat but better than starving. The nocturne spoke again saying "I suspect introductions are in order.". Giving Vesuvius a dirty look he said "We know how you are." then he continued "I am Cullen. Wingleader of the light clan's airborne division. That is Nephelai. Lightning master for the Stormcatcher's armies. The sometimes tetchy guardian over there sadly has not shared his name with anyone. We've no information on him or his clan if he ever had one. The imperial you encountered earlier is named Mnementh. The fae is Zair and is Mnementh's right hand. Mnementh is the current acting leader of this fire clan. The clan has agreed reluctantly to protect you till the last of the dark titan's forces are destroyed." With a shocked look Vesuvius swallows his bite and says "How long was I conscious?".
Cullen replied "Ten days. Nephelai found you unconscious. We suspect that when the dark titan was heavily weakened then finally killed the hold he had on you released making you weak. The dark titans ichor is still leaching from your body. That's the reason you're still in binds. Util your corruption is fully removed, if that's possible, you will remain bound. With that. We've other duties to attend to." As the they left the light barrier came back up. Nephelai stayed behind. Cullen looked over his shoulder, shook his head, then walked off. Nephelai stared at Vesuvius a bit then as he turned to leave Vesuvius said "I know you. Several turns ago. On the boarder between the Sunbeam Ruins and the Shifting Expanse. The drab little hatchling wildclaw."
Affronted by Vesuvius's harshness Nephelai said "Yes. I WAS that hatchling. That you encased in cold lava. Tell me. Was that to kill me via a slow death or to just crush me mentally so I would die of my own accord in that casing?"
Vesuvius snorted. "If I had wanted to kill you wildclaw I would have done it the second I saw you laying there. I'm impressed you survived. But forget not that you left your mark on me." Vesuvius made his aqua blue eyes whirl then commented "A dragon born of fire and brimstone with aqua blue eyes." Feeling almost shameful Vesuvius shut his eyes.
Irritated by this Nephelai turned and walked out. His seafoam circuit markings pulsating, causing a storm and lightning in his wake. Vesuvius chortled.

Several days later clan leader Mnementh appeared. He looked at Vesuvius searchingly again light eyes whirling. He bespoke in a melodious voice saying "It appears the corruption have fully leached from your body. Have you remembered who you are?" The barrier came down. Binds removed. Vesuvius stood to his full height nodded and stated "I am Vesuvius! Born of the old Gods and titans. Gifted with the powers of volcanic creation, eruption and destruction. I have been charged with aiding this world with it's creation of new lands and aid of elemental control."

Mnementh says "And as charged do you accept your crimes against this world and any punishment for those crimes?"
"I do clan leader." Vesuvius stated. Then he said "But it's clear you've no intention to kill me. So why am I still here? What do you want with me?"
"Atonement. This world still needs repair. Clans still need aid in rebuilding what they've lost. New lands need creating or expanding." Mnementh said.
"Bah. The Gods are more than capable of performing such tasks. Why ask a lesser?? I am not saying I do not want to aid Mnementh. But I am not sure they'll allow me in their ranks after felling so many." Vesuvius said.
"True. But your actions then were not you're own. Now they are. It will take time but you will be trusted and accepted." Mnementh said. Then he added "You can start with this clan." Raising a claw to stop a rebuttal he continued "This clan lost it's destined leader hundreds of turns ago. They have him back and are not going to let him go now. Unless .................. he truly wants to."
Vesuvius instantly got Mnementh's implication. "You mean me???" he said. Mnementh shook his head yes. "I don't understand" Vesuvius said.
"Some things we don't. Our destinies are written none the less. Question is. Do you choose this one or an unknown one???" Mnementh replied.
After some thought Vesuvius knew in his heart where he was meant to be. "I choose this one. This clan." he said.
Mnementh bowed gracefully and bellowed "All hail clan leader Vesuvius!!!! Leader to clan Pyroclastic of the Ashfall Waste. Descendant of the old gods. Born of fire and brimstone."
Dragons great and small all around bugled.
