Our Beginnings
The Apostle's Clan came about strangely, not at all as one would suspect.
The story begins with a Maren outcast. Not fitting in among her people in regards to talents, interests or basically anything else besides having a tail and living in water. They didn't necessarily mistreat her in ways of aggression or chasing her away from their homes, but they did neglect her. None took interest in being around or speaking with a strange woman such as herself. Eventually all the loneliness drove her away from her people. She traveled off on her own, eating meager meals getting hardly any sleep.
One day during a storm she chose to shelter in a large tide pool to wait out the angry weather. From her place in the rocks she saw a small, stone-like object tumble down the shoreline nearby and splash into the water. It was strange that a stone would be blown by the wind that easily. But then it blipped back to the surface and was floating, which stones do not do. This was an egg. A lone, innocent egg in danger being raked about by the waves. Without a second of hesitation she leapt from her safe place in the tide pool and swam for the egg as if the entire world depended on her catching it. She was successful, but at the cost of her own safety as well. The storm darkened and the waves rocked harder. To an extent even her strong tail was no match for them. The Maren tucked the egg to her chest and curled herself around it, determined to protect this creatures life at all costs. The ocean knocked her about ruthlessly, dragging her deep only to toss her up again and slam her into jagged rocks. But still she held stiff for the sake of the egg. After what felt like eons the storm broke.
The Maren was battered and weak, covered with injuries from the whole event. But she had no chance for rest yet. The egg was cooling due to the water. Fighting the pain and exhaustion she forced herself to swim towards the Ashfall Waste. Desperately hoping someone there would give their warmth for this small egg's sake. Upon arriving, she spotted a Coatl resting on a stone a distance in from the water. She put her remaining strength into calling for its attention. It gave a single glance and refused to budge from where it lay. Struggling, the Maren dragged herself upon the hot earthen shore and held the egg further in, towards the Coatl. Once more she raised her voice in plea. The dragon took note of the egg this time and approached. Staring reproachfully at the water as if it were suspicious of a trap set by Maren warriors. But all that lay before the dragon was a weak, bleeding Maren heaving breaths and crying for help to heat a small egg that was growing colder by the minute. The coatl gently pulled the egg away from the Maren and inspected it. It seemed to be a nature dragon. From the size, most likely a Fae. The coatl laid on the ground and tucked the egg under its plumage for warmth, then sharply asked the Maren to explain why she had a dragon egg in the first place. But the Maren was unconscious now. Weak and heavily injured. The dragon supposed the explanation could wait for the moment.
After some time the egg was warm again so the coatl woke the Maren and restated its question. She told it of the storm and how she came by the egg. Taken aback by this beastman's act of selflessness on behalf of an unborn dragon the coatl decided to help both creatures at once. The dragon gave the egg back to the Maren and explained it was an egg that somehow had been taken from the Viridian Labyrinth and would need to be returned. The Maren agreed but knew there was no way to reach there from within the Sea of a Thousand Currents. The coatl told her that just this once it would lend assistance, as a thanks for risking her life for a dragon. But advised her that not all dragons would be as kind so she should remember that they see her as a beastman first. The coatl flew to the edges of the Viridian Labyrinth, carrying the Maren and her precious cargo.
After polite farewells the Maren was left to protect the egg once more. She placed the egg in the cover of a bush and swam around collecting materials from the shorelines, holding them above her head out of the water to keep them dry. She found a tree relatively close to water, with exposed roots. She chose to relocate the egg there and build it a nest from twigs, leaves, mud and animal sheddings. It was a messy thing once it was finished, but it was a home. She placed the egg in and checked it regularly, always being nearby in the water. Thanks to clumps of fur and feathers in the nest it stayed warm at night and she brought it out to the sun in the day.
After multiple days the egg began to hatch. The Maren was relieved it had survived but was saddened that this could mean goodbye, both to the hatchling and to her having a purpose. But when a small green dragon flopped out of the egg without an ounce of grace, she swept all doubts aside as she loved this child more than anything in the world at that very moment. It's eyes were focused right on her and it didn't hesitate to approach. In joyous tears the Maren plucked up her beloved little dragon and held it tight. He was her beloved Tangormane from then on. He grew fast and was healthy. He eventually understood that his "mother" wasn't like him and she did well to explain that her kind wasn't favored by dragons. But he was unbothered by that. He knew her as his protector and loving mother from the moment of his hatching. Nothing would change that. They ate together and built a home together. And after some time, took in other lost dragons as well. They became a clan. And not once was the Maren ever left out again.

❧ The only Exalting I'll do is dragons I've hatched myself from my own breedings. So you never have to worry about me exalting the dragons I adopt from you. If I feel I can no longer care for them to the best of my ability, I will rehome them to a friend or give them away in a non-exalt forum.

❧ I'd appreciate treasure donations, of any size, so I can purchase more lair space and nesting grounds.
I will probably send you random hatchlings as a thanks once they're born.
