Thunder  by yours truly, what is English
xxxxxxxBlood trailed from his shoulders where metal met with torn skin and bone. It itched and stung, but there was nothing he could do. The iron chest binder and the muzzle did him no favour in trying to soothe the wound on his back. He wailed in pain, nobody cared. xxxxxxxThe centaur party carried on with its duties after a successful hunt. He helped them with their hunt otherwise he would not eat. He learned it the hard way over the years. Either he cooperated, or he would be whipped, starved, or hurt. xxxxxxxTonight, however, he had tried to fight back before being dragged to the huge rock they chained him to. He tried, and as always, he failed. The whip cracked on his back as they hurried him to his corral and prison. xxxxxxxHe wailed in pain, as blood trailed from his shoulder. Nobody cared.
***
xxxxxxxThunder roared from above, small, delicate droplets of rain fell from the sky, making the soil around him smell earthy and sweet. The small pool of blood slowly turned muddy. He flapped his wings, discreetly. Perhaps this would be the time, perhaps it would be today. He did it again, and again, short, deep breaths focusing his magic and forcing it to align with the element from above. xxxxxxxThe centaurs were too busy to notice, or care. xxxxxxxSparks of bright blue magic flew around his wings as he flapped them. They cracked in static and buzzed in sync with the wind. He looked up, to the sky above him and stood up on his hind legs. While a halo of voltaic surge formed behind his head, he flipped them so strongly they raised him from the ground. xxxxxxxAnd with a roar, lightning descended from the sky, hitting him, the boulder, the chain, and all of the corral. xxxxxxxThe sound, so like an explosion, drew the attention of the centaur pack. xxxxxxx– The boulder! xxxxxxx– It snapped! xxxxxxx– Bows! To bows! Quickly, now! - The leader yelled at them all, eyes held with him. xxxxxxxHe looked at the boulder, now torn in half. Could this be? Could he, maybe? xxxxxxx– Trap the dragon! Now! Move! Move! Trap the dragon! - The leader yelled seeing him move quickly to climb up the rock. xxxxxxxWith all his might he flew up, chain, boulder and all. The first few arrows buzzed by his ear as he ducked and dodged them. The jolts of electricity still flown by his wings whenever he moved. He danced among the clouds, wrapping the chain around him as he could until the boulder was simply part of him, part of the weight his wings needed to carry. xxxxxxxBelow, on the ground, was the small settlement of centaurs. He hated them. He hated all of them. xxxxxxxHe spread his wings in wrath, fury and resentment before raining thunder on all of them, regardless of age, regardless of trial. xxxxxxxThey were all guilty in his eyes, and he rained judgement from above. xxxxxxxBy the time the storm was over, there were no more centaurs to tell the story. He flew over the savannah, with thunder at his side. xxxxxxxWith it, he was free. | x |

Early life Hakim's egg was snatched by centaurs somewhere around the Highland Scrub at the Shifting Expanse. He was raised as a pearlcatcher on a Thunderhead Savannah by centaurs, and for most of his life, he didn't see another dragon. For a short while, he thought and imagined himself to be part of the centaur herd until he realised he was merely livestock, a slave of their hunting party. He started growing more violent towards his captors, performing many failed escape attempts. As punishment for these attempts, he had his pearl confiscated for good and earned many of the scars he spots. It was finally during a thunderstorm that he managed to escape by channelling the very element onto himself. As thunder hit the boulder Hakim was chained to, it broke in half, and he was able to fly away while dragging a huge chunk of the boulder. Muzzled and chained, he spent days trying to pry the iron muzzle out of his face and chest, earning him another set of scars, this time self-inflicted. He was starving when he finally managed to remove it and attacked the first caravan he saw to steal their food. Much to his luck, this happened to be Sirabad and Amra's caravan. They took him in and helped him heal; taught him how to communicate with other dragons and became his family. He joined them as they travelled around Sornieth and the group eventually settled into living in Porto (after voting so). Although he has a strong bond with all members of his caravan, Hakim still considers Amra and Sirabad his closest family members.

Ballots and compromise by yours truly, what is English
xxxxxxx– Wow, would you look at that, a whole party! – The pearlcatcher who was the most talkative of the caravan members said as soon as they approached Blueridge Greatshell Manor. They were all gathered in front of it. Watching the sunset, it seemed. – What do we give the honour? xxxxxxxFarris noticed that, like Sev said, he didn't have a pearl anywhere. Not wrapped around his tail, or on his hands. It was nowhere to be seen. The other pearlcatcher of the caravan kept hers closely between her legs besides her daughter as the two laid on a red blanket. xxxxxxx'Maybe he keeps it safe somewhere', the Nocturne reasoned. xxxxxxx– We would like to have a discussion with you, as leader of Faipur Caravan. xxxxxxx– I'm not leader of Faipur Caravan. – He said in a cheerful voice. xxxxxxx– In that case which of you would be the leader of the caravan? – Nephilim asked, very patiently. xxxxxxx– We don't have leaders, I guess. We just sort of discuss things and make decisions? xxxxxxx– Unfortunately, it would make our lives much easier if there was a... Spokesperson? A leader figure, so to say, whom we could discuss business directly. Could you maybe... Discuss whom your possible leader would be and make that decision? xxxxxxxFarris looked at Nephilim and he was already glad she decided to come over. She simply had a way with words and always handled dragons better than he did. xxxxxxx– Discussing a leader... I guess we could vote? – The pearl-less pearlcatcher looked at his caravan and they all nodded in agreement and stood up. – Ok... Raise a hand or a wing, but not both, whoever thinks... Hama should be our leader? – He asked and instantly raised his left wing excitedly, but only he did. – Aw, c'mon, she's our elder! xxxxxxx– I'm too old to be dealing with these fancy pompous people. – The older snapper said with humour and Farris pretended not to take offence. xxxxxxx– I have a suggestion! – A nocturne said. xxxxxxx– Yes, Amra! xxxxxxx– All who think Hakim should be our leader raise a hand or a wing, but not both! – She said and raised her wing and at her toll the others did too. After a beat they all burst out laughing at Hakim's pained expression. xxxxxxx– Aww, c'mon, Kim, you've been our spokesdragon for so long, you can't be surprised! – The snapper who was Hakim's mate said. xxxxxxx– But it wasn't an official thing, Abi! xxxxxxx– Well, congratulations, kiddo, you've just been named Faipur Caravan Leader! – The huge ridgeback said and pulled a cloth from his own head wrappings to place on the pearlcatcher's head. xxxxxxxHakim turned back to Farris and his group all smug, pulling the cloth over his head like he was a saint in a chapel. xxxxxxx– Faipur Caravan leader Hakim at your service. xxxxxxxFarris couldn't believe he was dealing with a group of simpleton clowns. xxxxxxx» Read the rest on my lore board! :) | x |

Change by yours truly, what is English
xxxxxxx– Ok, how about... A wildclaw? xxxxxxxHakim was laid on a blanket at the beach, lounging in Sirabad's arms when Helvandr's shadow eclipsed the sun. xxxxxxx– Hi, Hel. How are you in this fine morning? xxxxxxx– I've been thinking. What about a wildclaw? - She said, shifting her diminutive pearl to her side as she pulled a massive book about the dragon breeds of Sornieth. - They're strong, have a fairly decent wingspan and aren't much bigger than we are. xxxxxxx– Who even writes this type of thing? - He laughed, but let her sit by his side with the massive book. xxxxxxxHe looked through the paragraphs and illustrations about wildclaws as if he didn't already know all that. At his side, Sirabad sighed a little sad, and on his other side, Hel waited anxiously for his reply. xxxxxxxHakim sighed but kept smiling. xxxxxxxShe kept nagging him about this. Perhaps he should do it, to save the other pearlcatchers that unease. He was growing tired of being known all around town as "that pearl-less pearlcatcher". The centaurs always confiscated whatever form of pearl he made, so he grew used to not having one, or so he thought. xxxxxxxJamila had been far too polite to mention it, so Helvandr had been the first to bluntly ask him. She went through something similar during her captivity years at the hands of the gaolers, so she had related to his plight and explained to him the feeling of having a pearl and then losing it. xxxxxxxWho would have known that his motion sickness, trembling hands, trouble to focus, uncontrollable magic, loss of memory and weak stomach could all be related to the lack of a pearl, hm? He had just assumed it was what it was. xxxxxxxHe now had a small pearl, and he hated it. It was in his nature to long for its presence, but at the same time, it was the physical proof of all that the centaurs had robbed him. It made him very uncomfortable with himself. Perhaps it would be best to change his breed into something else entirely, and leave the tiny pearl he made after Hel insisted as mere decor in his room. xxxxxxx– You know, that's not a bad idea at all. I'm sure Tila and Connor will appreciate not having to feel discomfort during our missions. I guess we'll no longer be a pearlcatcher party anymore. xxxxxxx– Kim. - His mate said. - Don't do this for other dragons. You're not responsible for their feelings on how you live your life. xxxxxxxHel blushed at that jab. Hakim gave his mate an eye. She was his best friend, outside of the caravan, and he knew she meant well. xxxxxxx– I know that. Easier said than done. Still, I think it might be better. I'd rather not remember the reasons I don't long for a pearl. My pearl, that is. - He closed the book with a smile. - Very well. A wildclaw it shall be! That's as good as any other breed, and at least I won't have to learn any flying tricks again. xxxxxxxThe two dragons at his side looked at each other. They had very different opinions about this decision. Hel recoiled shyly, for the first time feeling like maybe she was stepping out of line. xxxxxxx– Well, Kim, you don't have to do this, you know that. There is no shame in having a small pearl. It is also proof of our history, of the life we lived and the struggles we trumped. xxxxxxx– Oh, don't worry. If I was so keen on being a pearlcatcher, I'm pretty sure this thought wouldn't even cross my mind, right? Most dragons don't struggle with the breed their born as. I think I'd rather start anew. xxxxxxxHe looked at the unease of both his mate and his best friend and found it funny how they seemed to struggle with his decision. xxxxxxx– My pearl is just part of who I am and a very small one at that. I think I will be much happier not having to fight with the feeling of empty hands, the strangeness of looking at it in our room, and the anxiety of leaving it behind every day. Is that a bad thing? xxxxxxx– No! - The two replied very fast. xxxxxxx– Not at all, Kim. But give it a little thought, ok? I don't want you to make this decision on a whim. - Hel said, very anxious, feeling like this was her fault. What was she trying to accomplish, anyway? xxxxxxx– I will. I'll speak with Amra and Hama. Or perhaps with that singer and with Eleanor too. Rumour has it they all changed their breeds, right? xxxxxxx– I'll go with you. Unless you want to do this alone. - Sirabad said. Whatever your decision, I'll support you in any way I can. xxxxxxx– Me too! If you need any help, let me know. Ah! Keep the book, if you want to see other breeds, I mean... xxxxxxxThe two were still very unease about the whole ordeal. It honestly seemed like something so simple to solve. Only his body would change after all. xxxxxxx– Thank you, both. And really, don't worry. Just promise me you won't be this awkward when I become a handsome and sexy wildclaw. xxxxxxxHis mate and his best friend jumped at the notion that they could be making him uncomfortable. Hakim laughed at their reaction. xxxxxxx– A wildclaw, hm? xxxxxxxIt was a breed as good as any other but certainly an improvement over the misery he felt like the only pearlcatcher who did not have a pearl. Better late than never. | x |

Favourite food: Least liked food: Hakim honestly thought the Food Club was a club where they'd try new foods, he had no idea he was signing up for a competition. But he broke an expensive ceramic pot after enrolling on the club and now he cannot leave. Oh dear.
