Biography
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
In my clan, Helvandr fills the role of being basically a cop / guard, being the one in charge of apprehending wrong-doers and criminals. Alas, with the current state of the police force worldwide, I feel a moral obligation to say that I fully support the Black Lives Matter movement and the anti-cop movement.
I lived most of my life in a third world country and can say that All Cops are ******** in Brazil too.
While I do enjoy Helvandr's lore as a town guard and playing around with what for a story, I feel it is necessary to leave this important notice and reminder here that while Flight Rising is a place of refuge and escapism from reality, my skin colour in real life offers me no choice but to stand with BLM and promote ACAB.
Law enforcement is an extremely important part of society and to see it corrupted by racism, greed and politics is a disgrace. Justice should be blind, and in my country as well as in many others, it currently isn't.
Until we see some change in how government deals with police brutality and corruption, my characters whose lore are related to guarding will remain with BLM | ACAB on their broadcast. If you have a problem with that, feel free to find other clans or lores to read about.
To find out more about where Flight Rising stands with this movement, read A letter from Akiri.
Thank you.

Daredevil by the amazing Dapplestar
xxxxxxxShe had heard the whispers, the gossip. She knew what they said about her, and she was proud of it. xxxxxxx'Helvandr is such a daredevil!' xxxxxxx'Wish I could be that confident.' xxxxxxx'She'll get into real trouble one day.' xxxxxxxSo used to slipping in and out of tricky situations with ease, Hel never thought that last remark would ever become reality. Which is why when the jealous Solveig dared her to fly to the top of Hrafnshelgi, she did not hesitate in her eager response. xxxxxxxThe older skydancer was the ice representative, a talented dragoness who could fly through snowstorms and race across the ice. They had grown up together, and as young hatchlings Hel had been envious of Sol, until one race through a particularly harsh blizzard, Hel won by a rather large distance. That event changed both of them - giving Hel her unmatched confidence and pride, and making Sol regretful and lost. xxxxxxxYears later, and the two dragons were on a hunting trip on the frigid flows. In a moment of rash anger as Hel dived into the frozen sea and came back up almost unchilled, Sol dared her to venture to the very tip of Hrafnshelgi, one of the tallest and most perilous peaks in the Cloudscrape Crags, and steal a ceramic raven doll from the great altar atop it. xxxxxxxHel didn't think twice about the dare, and set off the next day. Sol felt only a twinge of guilt as she watched her former friend fly off towards the mountain, instead feeling mostly just cold, burning satisfaction. xxxxxxxIt was an easy ascent to the top. The sky was clear and blue, and Hel couldn't believe her luck - it was such a crystal clear day that the dare was hardly even challenging. She reached the altar before midday, and grabbed the doll with a pang of smugness. Sol would be mad as she told her just how simple it has been. Just as she spread her wings and prepared to leave, a rumble came from the sky. Looking up sharply, she say dark clouds covering the sky. Weird... They hadn't been there earlier. xxxxxxxShe began to fly, quickly as to get home before the incoming storm began. Before she had gone very far, a gust of wind shoved her back up the mountain and into the clifface. She struggled to rise again, and as she climbed back to her feet, a flash of white lightning struck the doll in her talons. Hel shrieked and it the frail ceramic raven shattered on the jags of rock below. A lump rose in her throat, and a rare thing happened to her. She felt scared. xxxxxxxSnow swirled around her as she flew down the mountain, being knocked from side to side by howling bursts of snow and wind. A wailing sounded closer to her, and as she twisted to search for the source, she realised she was making the haunting noise of terror. Tears streamed down her face and turned to icicles, and rain, hail, and ice battered every part of her. Her scales were drenched with chilly water and frost, her limbs numb... And her pearl was oh so slippery, oh so heavy... Gone. xxxxxxxAnother shriek, and Hel dived desperately towards it. But it hit the stone before she could reach it. A small section of the mountain caved in, and her precious pearl fell down, down, into a dark cave. She was diving too fast though, and crashed into the rocks before rolling the short rest of the way down the mountain, unconscious. xxxxxxxHelvandr woke to an almost immeasurable pain. Her wing was torn, her scales were bruised, and her most beloved possession, her pearl, was gone. She looked back up at the mountain. The storm had calmed, but the mountain was buried in deep layers of snow. She had no energy left to search for her pearl, so she turned to return home. A glint of pottery caught her eye. A shard of ceramic painted the colour of a raven.
***
xxxxxxxSol stood at the edge of the lair, waiting as always, hoping as always. Hel had been gone so long... Years had passed. Had something happened to her? Mixed emotions flashed through the dragoness' head. Everybody else had already lost hope, but not Sol. Then, on any given day, a hunched over, bedraggled figure appeared on the horizon. Solveig rushed towards the dragon. It was Hel. xxxxxxxScarred and with a haunted look in her eyes, with a diminutive pearl, and clutching something in her paws. Two gaolers at her side. xxxxxxx"Hel..." Sol croaked, stunned. xxxxxxxAll the pearlcatcher did was stare at Sol with an empty gaze, then she threw the object, a shard of cracked ceramic, at Sol's feet. xxxxxxx"This is yours." "Over the hills and far away, for ten long years he'll count the days. Over the mountains and the seas, a prisoner's life for him there'll be." | x |

xxxxxxxHel's life in jail, minor nods to Ragnir slowly believing her story about not being shade touched. Brejdallir eventually agreeing with him and reuniting Hel with her pearl a few days before she's released. Ends with Hel seeing sunlight again and the two gaolers telling her that they'll go wherever she goes as they want to see the world. Soon enough there will be a text worth reading here.

A dragoness with Icy Blue Eyes  by yours truly what is english
xxxxxxx“Oh, wow, but that was a real jerk move, hm? I mean. I get where they’re coming from but boy, that would never happen back at Porto.” xxxxxxxHonestly, maybe Hel just needed to let loose. Maybe she just needed to vent, who knows? Why was she telling all her woes and complains to this girl she had no idea. xxxxxxxPerhaps it was her piercing blue icy eyes, not so unlike her own, or how her breath felt cold and minty. She had an aura os mystery and mischief. Maybe Hel though she was beautiful. Maybe all that. xxxxxxx“Yeah. I mean, his son isn’t so bad as a town guard but he just… He doesn’t have what it takes you know?” xxxxxxx“Hm… He’s too soft?” xxxxxxx“Not exactly, he’s more of the type to let his friends slide when they make smaller mistakes? Or maybe take bribes?” xxxxxxx“OOoof…” – The girl let her cup of ale down half way to her mouth to show her displeasure. “If you ask me that is even worse than being soft. Because if he was giving softer punishments he’d still be punishing but letting your friends slide is simply not following the law.” xxxxxxx“Hm. Well, he's welcome to write new laws if he wants to, 'cause the former judge has taken leave with me.” xxxxxxx“Really?!” xxxxxxx“That’s how much my work was fair and good, you know? Town judge just picked up and left because he knew they wouldn’t be respecting his laws too much with a guard like that.” – Hel finished her own ale with her witty remark. xxxxxxxYes, truth is, she was outraged. She had put her whole being into earning her place. Finally having a clan, finally having the company of other dragons after so many years as a prisoner without a trial at the mercy of gaolers. She finally had a clan, a job, a role she could work hard to give back to the dragons she lived with. So long had she longed for that life. xxxxxxxSo long, and now it was all for naught. Hel was fired and replaced because dearest clan leader wanted his dearest baby son to have her job. xxxxxxxShe took a deep sigh. xxxxxxx"Hey. To better days!" – The girl said and Hel scoffed, raised her glass and cheered with the girl. xxxxxxxGood Icewarden, it felt good to let that out of her chest. xxxxxxxIn truth, her… – clanmates, allies? – weren’t exactly her friends. The dragons who kept her captive, the dragon who brought her misfortunes upon her, two work colleagues… Hel didn’t have an emotional connection to any of them which meant not a lot of people to talk to and so, poor girl, she latched on to her. In truth, Hel greatly lacked social contact. The other pearlcatcher was likely regretting starting conversation with her. xxxxxxxHel clutched her diminute pearl to her side. The other pearlcatcher had a shiny, round, plump pearl on her lap. xxxxxxx‘A life well lived, well remembered.’ – Hel thought to herself. xxxxxxx“So… Nothing like this would happen on your town, hm?” xxxxxxx“No. Well. I'd like to say that but right now we’re struggling with the other side? Our town guard leader is… Too soft. She’s great with hatchlings but the moment they start testing their limits and talking over her, she’ll recoil. She lacks that firm hand of justice needed to deal with the task.” xxxxxxx“Poor girl. To be honest, I’ll take a vagrant and a thief over a pesky brat anytime, dragons just have different strengths, you know?” xxxxxxx“Oh, yeah, totally. To which their own talents, I suppose. Icewarden spare me of brats, gee. Waitress, another two, please?” xxxxxxxWhat a strange situation, maybe the cloaked pearlcatcher wasn’t regretting Hel's company so much. Hel couldn’t imagine herself as good drinking company but life was always surprising her. She smiled, pleased. xxxxxxx“Let me pay this new round. You already paid last two.” – Hel said as the waitress came back but the girl stopped her and paid. xxxxxxx“No, it feels so good to chat with another like me! We don’t get many ice dragons… At Porto. No other ice pearlcatchers certainly. Feels great to be surrounded by my own element and my own kind.” xxxxxxx“What brought you all the way to the Frigid Floes, exactly?” xxxxxxx“I travel here once a year during the Gala. Just to… Connect? I guess? I wish I looked more the part of ice representative, I’ve never won a rep election ever but good Icewarden I wish I did. You could win any rep ballot very easily. You just have that melting snow on a slope look!” xxxxxxx“You’d want to be rep?" – Hel shifted the subject from her back to the girl, she wasn't used to receive compliments but that one... Somehow it made her blush. She rubbed her nose to hide her shyness. – "You sound too cheerful for the task of a Frigid Priestess, no offence.” xxxxxxx“None taken, maybe you’re right. But hey, I am a priestess back home! It’s already half way through the job, just missing the Frigid Emblem on my forehead.” xxxxxxx“You’re a priestess?” xxxxxxx“Corpse cleaner.” xxxxxxxHel almost choked on her olives. That girl didn’t look the part at all. xxxxxxx“Curious place, this… Porto, hm? Lots of corpses?” xxxxxxx“You’d be amazed by how many shipwreck and drownings we get. And well, we are pretty active supporters of dominance efforts. We take on their ships… They dock sometimes with the injured…Injured Exaltees don’t always make it. We offer burials for free for exalt rescues. The least we can do.” xxxxxxx“Curious place.” – She said with a solemn nod. A respectable town then. xxxxxxxHer sighed for a while. This Porto place sounded like a big clan, a huge one. With a reputation good enough that the Exalt armies considered it a safe haven. The type of clan Hel secretly hoped she'd be part of someday. xxxxxxxBut right now, even a small clan would do. Her money could only make do for a few more weeks of unemployment. She wasn’t exactly a very good saleswoman. She had no idea how she’d net another job, specially now that they had a whole crew. Judge, cell keeper, seeker, sheriff, town guard. Most clans would have one of these jobs occupied and would not hire a whole group in that case. xxxxxxxIt must have been painfully obvious that she was worried, for the girl leaned in closer to have a look at Hel’s fave which drew a good scoff from her. xxxxxxx“What? Don’t mind me. Just… Worried about work. Unemployment as the case may be.” xxxxxxx“You know. We really could use more security back home. We get far too many pirates. Lately, petty thievery has spiked. Half the town isn’t safe anymore.” xxxxxxxHel looked at her. xxxxxxx“How long are you guys staying at Crossroads?” xxxxxxx“Until we find a job, I suppose.” xxxxxxx“I’ll put up a good word back home. See if Guildmaster Farris thinks we could give your group a try. Let poor Brie get her retirement and become a teacher, maybe.” xxxxxxxHel blinked a little bit. Jobs offers never came falling on her lap, she was shook for a moment. It was either too good to be true or a trap. Honestly, a trap was better than starvation or going back to the Fortress of End. xxxxxxx“That… Honestly, I don’t even know how I’d thank you if you did put up a good word for me and my crew.” xxxxxxx“Nah, you’d be helping us too. Give me the names and assigned roles on your crew and I’ll see what I can do. I’m Modesta, by the way.” – The pearlcatcher reached her paw out to Hel. xxxxxxx“Helvandr. Where did you say your Porto was again?” xxxxxxx“I didn’t. It’s on the Tsunami Flats by the Tangled Wood. Water domains.” xxxxxxxHel blinked. xxxxxxx“Oy. Don’t make that face! You should have known it wasn’t on the Southern Icefield when I said there were no ice dragons!” – Modesta scoffed as she drank her ale. xxxxxxxWater Flight. The Sea of a Thousand Currents. How would she sell that out to Ragnir and Brejdallir? xxxxxxxWell, who cared? If the two gaolers wanted to go back to the Fortress or stay at the Floes, they’d be welcome to do so. It would even save her the trouble of having to look at their ugly faces.In fact, if all Ragnir, Brejdallir and Solveig all wanted to remain on Icefield, they’d be welcome to stay. Helvandr was going to Water Flight, hopefully Signe and Eldbjorg on her toll. xxxxxxx“No, that’s perfect, actually. Maybe that’s what I need, white sandy shores, the soft rolling of waves. Warm weather.” xxxxxxx“Oh, trust me you’ll miss the ice.” xxxxxxxHel caressed her diminute pearl. xxxxxxx“No, I won’t.”  The follow up to this story is Invar's "A Breath of Spring" | x |

Shadow and ice behind the bars,
lost to the sky and distant stars. A proud crusader forced to yield, a shieldmaiden without a shield, forced to leave her soul behind; retreating to a troubled mind. The tangled webs of cunning fate lead inexorably to a path of hate. It was folly brought her there, captured, chained by callous fear. Maligned in a glacial cage to suffer shame and helpless rage. Alone, forsworn of former friends, destined her enemies to defend. Through every trial, she proved her worth, so anguish sparked a renewed birth. The world, which once did seem so vast, now as warped as shattered glass. Tempered like steel, as by fire, filled with bleak, thwarted desire, amid this forge, a soul created, a fate once lost, and now awaited. Stolen dreams with strength replaced, each sorrow a new facet shaped. Fortunes now with foes entwined; a new life poised to be designed, for only through heartbreaks endured can true greatness be assured. Fantastic Poem by Pigwidgeon |
