═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
A calm and gentle soul, Tolkien is an aged dragon of wisdom and everlasting patience. With expressions that rarely varies from stoicism, his thoughts and emotions remain a mystery to all those who encounter him. Although kind-hearted, he will seldom be seen leaving his den for social favours and much prefers to remain within the solitude of the ruins he calls home.
While a pacifist by nature, Tolkien's stature as a powerful magic wielder is revered by many; and he has been charged with protecting his sacred home and its precious contents on more than one occasion. Capable of devastating arcane magic's that are the result of many a year of dedicated meditation and focus.

» All of his academic collection has been exchanged for their braille versions. His precious books having been donated to the Radiant Sect's grand library.

» His familiar, Alnitak, is at his constant beck and call; as his only living companion, he is required to work as a substitute for Tolkeins eyes.

» The ruins that mark his hide are a remnant from his foolish years. Having dabbled in magic far beyond his years.

════ history ═════════════════════════════════════════════
- He use to work at The Observatory, under the guidance of the Arcanist, but was exiled to the Starwood Strand. He wanted to be a cosmologist, gazing to the stars. But now he is blind and no longer able to see through a telescope. His familiar aids him in this now. Observing the heavens for him and conveying what he sees. He does this for most things, and lives as his constant aid as he works as his eyes.

- he recognises that, even though he has lost his sense of sight, he has gained others.

- At a young age his desire for power led him to attain great arcane knowledge, while his progress was timely, the patience's of a rash young dragon was fleeting at best, as Tolkien quickly found himself striving for feats far beyond his years. Inevitably leading to a moment in his life he has spoken of to a very select few.

- As dangerous ventures into an anthology of forbidden tomes resulted in his terminal blindness. Many years on and he humbly admits to his faults, spending a great portion of his life learning to master patience and meditation–a skill many that know him today greatly admire him for.

- Nowadays, Tolkien holds residence in a small makeshift observatory, in an alcove along the Arcane's domain. His den is deep within what still stands of an ancient ruin, with overgrown foliage that he makes no effort to retain. Protected by arcane ruins of his own design, entry into the ruins is ill-advised by those whom are ill-acquainted with Tolkien himself and do not know the path.

- While his den is a fair flight from the Radiant Sect, Tolkien still maintains a lively written exchange between the Sect Council, whom often seek him out for his soothsayer services and sage advice. While his preference to keep in touch through scroll results in very few in-person appearances within the Sect itself, there have been times Dragons from either side making the journey to one another in times of crises.

- And it is this age-old exchange of trust that has forged a great bond between Tolkien and the clan. In fact, he remains one of the very few individuals DeCapo will entrust with her previous books. As he often seeks her out for any braille tome's she may find, in exchange for the generous donations of arcane manuscripts previously in his care.

_______arcanist2_by_croatiahetalia-dcc5syw.png It was unusually warm outside for an early fall night in Sornieth. Tolkien took wide strides in between the grand pillars, his Arcane Sprite, Alnitak, close by on his left flank.

He felt like tonight would be perfect for mapping the skies, gazing into the unknown cosmos, but he had brought blindness upon himself that he was still paying for.

“Alnitak?” Tolkien said, checking for the quiet creature.
_____
_____ “Yes, Tolkien?” Alnitak answered, and with a bit of a cocky tone. He was reading over a tome, one of the few he managed to keep from Tolkien as he traded them from braille copies.

“The sky, how does it look tonight? Worthy of noting in our tomes?”

Alnitak paused closing his tome to look to the sky. Deep green mixed into the depths of the purples. Blue stars sprinkling overhead, and the proud moon standing bright in the limelight.

“Yes,” he murmured in awe. “If only you could see it once.”

Tolkien remained quiet, his mind coping to the black wall of his vision, painting with the pigment of colors within his imagination. His sky contained luxurious purples and soft pinks, like a sunset at dusk. The sun peeking just over the horizon, wanting the attention. Stars dotted the brink of the incoming clouds. Tolkien smiled and closed his eyelids.

As Tolkien took a blissful zone, clouds brewed overhead swirling to cloak the moonlight. Alnitak noticed them as the unsettling winds that picked up around his fluttered his wings.

“Tolkien, we may need to get to the observatory,” Alnitak said, his voice quivering. He felt a presence, powerful magic surrounded them and he was certain it wasn’t Tolkien. In fact, Tolkien was oblivious to the oncoming storm, and it worried Alnitak. Grabbing for his companions telescope, he put it to his eye, examining the nebulae above. But to his surprise, he was not greeted with beauty. A darkened, spindly-limbed Wyrm rested behind the blanket of the clouds watching. Waiting.

"Tolkien!”, Alnitak yelped, snapping Tolkien away before he was discovered by whom he knew. He felt around him, wind separating his feathered wings and tousling his fur. His telescope gave an unremitting rattle that quickened his heartbeat.

“Alnitak, lead me to the observatory, now!” Tolkien commanded.

“What is going on with the weather? Is this your magic at work? Can’t you just call it off?”

“This isn’t mine! It’s the Arcanist!”

Alnitak’s face went pale, he knew that the next few moments to come weren’t ones to look forward to. They both fled to Tolkien’s observatory, but anywhere they went in the Arcane Realm, He would be watching them. The wind had picked up, trying to throw them out of the sky. Lightning tied to touch them but they were just fast enough to escape it. They neared the observatory, flying over the threatening, jutting spires that stood above the rocky ocean.

Tolkien landed, galloping to the door and heaving it open. Inside was packed with open tomes, scattered loose notes, and a single goldened telescope to size the Arcanist’s very own. He hurried across to the stairs, he felt Alnitak fly between his feet and up the stair. Tolkien reached the top without tripping over anything, he knew his home by heart. And now it was threatened by his impatience for knowledge. He should’ve known he went too far, that there is only so close you can come to the line.

They both came to the upper floor, with a vast window on the far east side for stargazing. Alnitak gave a shark squeak.

When they left the window was fastened shut. Now, the weary Wyrm: the Arcanist, was waiting for them, his head bowed in, barely fitting in the unaccommodating room.

“Tolkien,” The Arcanist boomed. He arched an eyebrow.

Tolkien's heart threatened to burst from his chest. He couldn’t escape. “Arcanist.” his addressed the wyrm, trying not to let his fear show through.

“I banished you from your studies beneath me for a reason. I was trying to keep you safe, away from the Shade. I didn’t want you to follow in my footsteps, because power comes at a price.” The Arcanist told Tolkien. Then, he looked to Alnitak and showed a solemn face of disappointment at the Sprite.

“Sorry, Arcanist.” Tolkien apologized. He had expected a completely different reaction from the deity.

“You mustn't speak of this to any dragon. Earthshaker would not be pleased with me if he were to find out.” The wyrm backed his head out of the window and readied to take off. He hesitated, and looked back into the observatory, and said to Alnitak, “Don’t let me down.” Then he took off, enveloped is the wisps of the night sky.

It was now clear outside, and chillier than before. Tolkien was quiet, he returned to his tables, organized the notes that had been disrupted. He knew what he needed to do. Power was just out of his grasp before the Arcanist pushed him away.

Alnitak sought to keep his promise. They would return to their normal studies but he would need to burn the notes they weren’t going to need any further. He would have to keep Tolkien quiet and the Arcanist happy.

And so forth, they never spoke of the encounter.

His sky has been replaced.

The place he once cleaved to,
mapping the stars as they pass in the night
and observing the comets that flew by,
is no longer there,
no longer a place he knows.

Altinok describes in quiet awe,
the moon is waning,
your favorite constellation is back,
and the sky is a lovely, dark blue.

What does blue look like again?

Stars have become nothing more than raised dots on paper,
his claws running across line after line
feeling the words that his sprite transcribes,
turning galaxies of light and gas
into simple, compound, complex sentences.

No amount of poetry can help me remember
what the brightest star of ursa major looks like
in the dead of night.

The night sky is lost to him,
but nothing can replace the loving sighs of his sprite
as he spots the first star of the night
and relays to his master, his companion, his friend
just how beautiful the cosmos are.

Wisdom does not come,
From the fools and young,
lacking experience,
they have no made mistakes and hence
Trouble is on the next bridge,
But wisdom lies on the next edge.

One can study all there life
and still forget sometimes
That they cannot know all,
and when this comes they will fall
Down to foolish, but still wise
One can see it in their eyes-

The way that one holds there head,
Strategize about the dread,
Patience and not saying much
One should get a hunch
That they know more than to spread
Any type of whisper'en,
Gossip is not for them,
And silent are the wise bred.

Mistakes are in one's history,
They create knowledge's symphony,
So that one can learn
That power is not all one should yearn,
And protection is what battling
Is for if you've got that symphony
All organized and playing in tune,
No, knowledge is only acquired,
through the foolish whims of youth.
