Biography
Chira
Mushroom Harvester
Forager Beasts Also known as fae folk or pixies, fairies are small creatures often found along ley lines that cross woodland territory. Ley lines represent specific areas where magic surges, and the skilled creatures use it's boost to craft delicate webbing out of precious metals, creating elaborate designs and structures akin to nests and spiderwebs. Greatly sought after by dragonkind, such work is used by the faeries to attract insects and other small creatures, lured in by the glint of metal and then trapped in a mesh made of too sturdy a material to break free. Once a living creature is trapped, the swarm of fae will quickly consume it, not being particularly picky about what it is. Older dragons are wary of crossing fae-infested woods, and often caution the young hatchlings against venturing alone, and against ever going alone into such places. While harder to trap, a small hatchling caught in their web is just as nourishing as any other morsel. Hosts In order to provide the fae whisperers with the colonies for their trade, some dragons take upon the dangerous task of hosting the mushroom colonies and growing them out of their own bodies. Fed by their magic, the mushrooms grow ever stronger as their host slowly weakens and dies. The price for a fully-grown colony is enough to keep many small clans in wealth and good fortune for life; it is unfortunate that those that lived for it will never enjoy the rewards of their work. Hosts usually live in colonies, isolated form dragonkind and other clans – for who would want to be around a constant reminder of death? The mushrooms are bonded with dragons from a young age, the hatchlings never having known any other life than that of their trade. Healers are cherished and respected by Host colonies. Despite the mushroom itself working to repair its host’s body so it may life off it for as long as possible, the dragons often require magical healing to stay alive past adulthood. To grow old as a Host is a rare feat, and those that achieve it are revered in their colonies as wise and strong. Condemned While some would see it as an honor to give their lives to their clan and to create something great, Chira only wanted to be able to live. Bonded to her mushroom colony from birth, the female has known no other way of life, and as soon as she was big enough to fly she set out to find a new home for herself. It mattered not that her colony would still be harvested upon her passing – her family and the merchant that held her contract would still profit from it, and at least she wouldn’t be forced to live with the constant reminders of her early fate. Fleeing was as close to a release from her end as she was ever going to get. A home to two Fae tamers who worked in crafting Sylvan jewelry, the Tempest Clan saw no problem with welcoming Chira in their midst. The clan had a capable enough healer, and with a huge population of Gembond dragons, no one would so much as bat an eye at her condition. In fact, if anything the clan seemed to thrive despite the crystalline formations present in most of its members, the dragons living normal lives unhindered by the crystals. Chira could only hope that whatever magic preserved them would also work on her. Borrowed Time Despite the warmer welcome than she expected, the female still felt out of place in her new home. The botanists and healers were more interested in studying the magical fungus at her back than interacting with her, and the scholars only wanted to get to know her so they could report back on the progress of her condition. Even the way they said it, “her condition”, made her skin crawl. She was little more than a lab rat, and it unnerved her that rather than living life she was stuck in a frozen mountain watching time go by. Deciding once more to take control over her life, Chira volunteered as a forager for the clan. Her knowledge of plants wasn’t as extensive as the botanists’, but they could hardly spare the time to go dig for herbs and roots when some underling could do it for them. Taking the load off the scavengers’ earned Chira their respect, and her new assignment earned her some much needed freedom. Guardians While roaming the woods at the edge of the clan’s territory and looking for a place to start a growth of regular, edible mushrooms – she took some morbid pleasure in cutting them down each harvesting season, a small victory against the glowing plant growing at her back – the nocturne found creatures that she never expected to see outside of the horror stories of her hatchling days. The grotesque male was a half-decomposed mess, but despite his appearance, the undead nocturne seemed more interesting in tending his trees than eating trespassing strangers. The imperial that followed him everywhere, however – not quite an emperor, but far from a regular hatchling – was oddly endearing, though Chira couldn’t for the life of her explain why. As she kept coming back to her growing harvest without any incident, and no sign of her strange companions in the forest, Chira had time to ponder their existence. Shunning them for their appearance wasn’t that much different from how other clans had treated her for being a diseased dragon, despite her parasite being “voluntarily” inflicted. Regardless of what had made those creatures what they were, they deserved better than her reaction. Earning the trust and affection of the little imperial took no time at all, and Chira could honestly say that she loved Bones. The “young” imperial was charming and eager to have a friend that wasn’t his taciturn father. Cormac was just glad to see his son smile at the new addition to their forest – as long as she brought happiness into their life Chira was allowed to roam their forest freely. |
