Dragon Log

The other daughter of Melody and Song, she is as enamored of music as her "twin"-- and as interested in using it to invoke her magic. With such interesting talents, perhaps she and her nestmate should consider names of famous bards....

10-9-14: Her faithful companion, a lovely Dryad, has Awakened! This is a happy day indeed, as the Dryad is now ready to begin her adult life as a full member of the Clan.... Or she would be, if she wasn't so interested in napping at the moment....

1-10-15: Symphony.... Harmony.... Rhythm.... Perhaps the name of a great Bard? What will she name herself? So many choices!

2-18-15: After a long time, the Dryad has decided to wake up from her nap and begin to prepare for Spring….even if it is a bit early. In the meantime, a Longneck Skirmisher wandered by the Spiral’s area of the caves while she was working on her magic—and her singing. He heard the music and stopped, entranced….

5-19-15: The Skirmisher remains entranced.... but now he has also Awakened! It is quite astonishing to see such a fierce warrior turned to putty as soon as this particular Spiral begins to sing.... and now he has begun to try to sing himself--with much different results. Oh, dear....

9-24-16: The Longneck Skirmisher is still enthralled with this Spiral's singing, but he has reluctantly accepted that he does not have a similar talent--to the great relief of every non-tonedeaf dragon in the Clan. He is, however, rather good at transcribing songs into music, and has taken up this new hobby with a vengeance. Meanwhile, the Clan's unbonded Harvest Floracat has begun to take an interest in the Spiral whose music--and magic--reflects the Autumnal Season....

2-2-17: After a long, drawn-out bonding, the Harvest Floracat has finally Awakened! His Spiral is relieved that he has matured at last, and looking forward to seeing what the now completely adult cat will do with his newfound potential...

7-28-18: The Thundercrack Carnival has come again, and this Spiral and her sister have heard of an exciting experiment with a special machine...and even better a party...

What's a party without music? And odd-looking characters? The Clan's two oldest Bards have heard about all the excitement, and want to join in...

They wove around each other, strumming on their lute and harp, respectively, bringing a joyful strain to the already excited atmosphere. Where they went, smiles followed, and dragons began to dance, and sing, hardly noticing the odd weather patterns that also seemed to be developing, as leaves and...snow?!....began to swirl around them...

Meanwhile, while some were enjoying the party, the Clan's more experiment-inclined dragons were still bringing items for the Metamorpher...and taking a twirl or two through the falling leaves every once in a while, when they thought no one was watching...

And as the party continued, Duskshadow slipped around to the back, to settle down and watch the festivities. With so many of her Clan at the party--and still bringing items--she had decided it would be best to keep an eye on things. Absently, she blew a snowflake away from her nose, as a falling leaf tickled her tail. Flicking at the rose that had just landed near her, the Clan Mother suddenly froze. Leaves, Roses, SNOW? Oh NOOO...

Duskshadow scrambled to her feet quickly, searching the guests. Where were they? They KNEW better than this! Catching sight of her quarry, Dusk stormed over.

"WHAT do you two think you're doing?! This is the Shifting Expanse! Keep this up and we'll have a magical storm that will destroy the whole area! Turn it off, now!!"

Turning away from the two sheepish Spirals, Dusk shook her head as the music lost its odd, compelling quality and became much less weather oriented. "And I thought Spell and Rune were bad..."

Oh dear...Well, at least the Clan Mother was able to prevent disaster...and don't the two Bards look positively dashing in their new Flame and Sage outfits? Now all they have to do is come up with a name....

3-23-20: Bal and her sister decided to journey to the Mistral Jamboree this year, in the hopes of picking up some new musical ideas at the Cloudsong Celebration. Upon their arrival, they encountered a little more than they had bargained for, in the best possible way, when they were entertained by a Spiral using what appeared to be Weather Magic to make a mini-version of the Twisting Crescendo. ( ) Not only did the Spiral give them some exciting new ideas for wind storms, but his spinning had a rhythm underneath it, that the two sisters were, in fact, able to turn into a new song… ( )

…And later, when they went to chat with the Imperial Fortune Teller in the corner, she “divined” a new gene for one of their Clan Mates…and then gave them the scroll with the needed spell! ( ,
) All in all, an excellent beginning to their Cloudsong adventure…

3-29-20: The Mistral Jamboree is winding down, but Tunespinner and Balladweaver are still going strong, working on composing some new, exciting music based on all their experiences this week. ( ) After the fun they had at the Clouldsong, they can’t wait to return next year--if the Clan Mother will let them come…

3-30-20: When the two bards returned to the Lair after the Mistral Jamboree, Tune and Bal noticed a large green bird was perched on a ledge in their own favorite section of the Controlled Magics Cave. In fact, he was sitting on Balladweaver’s second-best harp! They recognized the Clan's Black-Wing Hummingbird, and immediately went over together to see what was wrong--and in Bal’s case, if she could rescue her harp before it was damaged. As soon as they got close enough, the bird flicked his wings, landed on Balladweaver's shoulder, and stared into her eyes....and though they are no closer to figuring out why the bird decided to leave the Hoard, Balladweaver is now quite sure that her new friend will make an excellent addition to her and sister's collection of musical companions...

6-23-20: The Black-Wing Hummingbird has Awakened! And a good thing too, since he seems to have decided that Balladweaver's harp is an excellent place to perch. Perhaps now that he is a little more mature Bal will be able to disabuse him of this notion...
