Fear of What's in the Dark
CHARISMATIC | IMAGINATIVE | SNEAKY
An egg laid outside the territory of the eleven elemental gods will not hatch: without their magic, soul never knits to body and the embryo inside withers and dies. Without an anchor, the little waiting spark of Mind that might one day have become a person slips away through the cracks in reality. Most are eaten by the pneumavores that lurk in the hungry Void outside, but a few--lucky or clever or both--survive and grow up to become predators themselves. Shade-touched, these lost souls lurk in the dreams and nightmares of dragonkind, feeding on their fears and growing fat.
The largest of them are the greater horrors, dream-beasts without an identity beyond their Names--the specific terror they draw strength from. Most horrors are little more than beasts, unconscious and unaware of the minds around them, though they ably ape the manner and speech of dragons they meet while dreaming. The larger they are, the more they resemble thinking beings, though the veneer of intelligence lies only skin-deep over a terrible animal cunning. Sleeping dragons caught and seduced by a wandering horror might never wake again, trapped beyond saving in their own nightmares--or worse, awaken possessed, without dreams or mind or reasoning of their own.

Many dragons believe that being afraid of the dark is merely the fear of being unable to see, missing the sun. But it's more complicated than that. Rather, it is more of a Fear of What's Lurking in the Shadows, those terrors and monstrosities that the mind conjures to justify the fear that grips their heart as they rush towards light, towards comfort, towards whatever safety they can create in their minds that whatever it is that might be out there where sight fails them. The Fear of What's in the Dark thrives in this, whispering what ifs into the ears of children dragons and the weaker of the adults, forcing them to cower in their dens during the night of a full moon and dread traveling into deep caverns.
"Who knows what might be out there? Certainly not you~. Who knows, whatever it is might creep up and get you right NOW!"
