Arkos

Arkos didn't remember much about his parents, other than that they looked exactly like him and often told him he was handsome and the greatest son they could ever ask for. When they disappeared mysteriously in the night and left him alone as a hatchling, he was terrified and heartbroken.

Wandering alone in the forest after years of isolation, he found himself drinking at a lake and seeing the face of his mother, or perhaps his father, in the surface of the water. He stared for a long time, his loneliness growing more overpowering, until a rock thrown at him from somewhere nearly cracked his skull open.

Arkos met another Skydancer named Kaida, who brought him to the Gladekeeper's emissary for medical attention. She was sweet but terrified that he would be angry at her, but in truth, he was not. She had brought him to his senses, that his family was gone; and when Juno and Noi asked if he wanted to join their Clan, Arkos accepted the offer with Kaida in mind.
