REVERENCE
Deep respect for someone or something. "rituals showed honor and reverence for the dead"



Reverence is coming. Be ready. Reverence was born one day in the Tsunami Flats when the wind changed directions and ash rained down from the sky. As the flats froze and became covered in ice Reverence's egg changed to a sickly Grey. Her parents had no hope for her survival, so they tossed her egg down the Leviathan Trench through a gap in the ice. Reverence's egg sank deep into the muck with narry a hope of discovery. Months later after the sea once again churned a brave team of divers dove farther and farther. Bags made of strong seaweed were carried down and the levels of muck were slowly peeled back. Finally, Reverence was found. It was a strange sight to them being and egg almost black, but nonetheless they brought it home. The surface was examined, tapped and cracked and soon baby Reverence breathed her first breath. The divers were startled by her haunted eyes and dark, dark scales. As she grew the divers told her the secrets of the seas from the very rocks to the roaring, crashing waves.

When Reverence grew older they told her the history of the land and the magic that thrummed through its rich veins. This same magic ran through their own. They began simple tests with Reverence to see what she could do, but all of them failed until the very last. A hatchling was brought to her bearing an infected cut, and to their surprise Reverence's eyes lit up with pure joy. It started slowly at first and then it rose and from her to the hatchling a connection was formed. The energy inside her went pouring into the hatchling and in front of their eyes the cut became no more. Exhausted she collapsed with a smile still on her face. Her training began easy and soon enough she was mending bones and regrowing limbs without even the slightest sense of exhaustion. From all around Reverence was known as the healer whose limits were entirely unknown. With mischievous twinkle in her eyes Reverence bought a guise to match her scales. She fully intended to exploit the mystery that surrounds her. 

What happened to a healer when they can't heal someone? It was a night of a new moon when a creature came crawling for her help, but there was nothing that she could do. It loosely resembled an imperial with large feathered wings, sharp teeth and bones out of place. As hard as she tried a connection wouldn't click, and she feared that this creature was incredibly sick. When it opened its mouth its body shuddered, and in a raspy voice the creature cried out "My name is Sorrow for that's what I bring. Wherever I go people die," he said with a sickening grin. Sorrow ran off before Reverence could form anything to say back to him. That encounter left Reverence startled and a little more than afraid. As the days went by she began to forget all about her encounter, but Sorrow certainly wouldn't forget her. Weeks later he approached her during the day, and she was intrigued. To hide his deformities she gave him a guise and wrapped him in bandages to protect him from prying eyes. She began taking him everywhere and in some cases when people were too far gone she'd let Sorrow help them to move on.

Many moons later they fell in love and had a nest of three children that were impossible to love. They were unnatural looking, almost demonic, and for all her excitement at being a parent, Reverence let them go. This decision enraged Sorrow and it was only a matter of time before his true nature came to light. It was as if a switch flipped in his mind and the whole clan became nothing more than corpses. Reverence was downright horrified by him. She mourned the loss of her mentors for many, many days before she fled as far away as possible from the place that she once called home. As tears flowed in thick rivers down her face Reverence faltered and crashed to the ground, looking like the broken puddle she was.

A gentle voice called to her then, whispering words of care to her. The voice came from above on a great granite ledge. The voice introduced itself as a leader from the frigid lands to the west that was told about a healer by the people of the past. Her name was Oracle and seemed wise beyond her years. She came close to Reverence and wrapped her in her great wings and with words of encouragement she brought Reverence to her feet. Reverence had a feeling that this odd dragon was safe, so she told her about Sorrow and his vile action. A look of surprise passed across Oracle's face, but it was soon covered by a look of grace.Together they moved on to Oracle's home amongst the cliffs.

As Reverence grew older, she began to tire of the guise she wore upon her scales. The item that once brought her such happiness grew heavy as bad memories outshined the good. She decided it was time for a change and went for a less ominous look. Bits of red and silver to make her presence know, but not misunderstood. No longer would she hang her head in shame of what she'd witnessed by Sorrow's side, but she would rise above it and assume her role as a world renown healer once again.
