A Dragon is Born

[Kauria]

Naïma swooped after the hologram, slowing to a hover by the other two dragons. "I think I've stopped being surprised by who I run into." She smiled and let herself down onto the ground. "What's your name, little one?" she asked the hatchling.

[saphira]

"My name is saphira." she replied to the dragoness,"may I ask who you might be?"she asked, although her mind wasn't entirely on the conversation still drifting back to the dream of the locket which she had no doubt was her mothers. Ooc: sorry about that I've been camping for a while.

[Kauria]

"I'm Naïma," the air dragoness replied gently. Though polite, the hatchling's mind seemed elsewhere, so Naïma left her to her thoughts and turned to Sol'Lux.
"And just what have you been up to lately? Saphira here doesn't seem to be one of your own children."

[saphira]

Saphira decided to ask sol'ux later about the dream and paid attention to the conversation with sorrow piercing her heart when Naima asked Sol'ux about her not looking like one of her children.

[Nohiki]

"I am quite old for chasing males around." smiled Sol'Lux, "And though she may not look like one, she is really the only child on the world i have ever been a mother to." said Sol'Lux, "So she is family, even though not biological, am i right?" she said, turning to the little dragoness.

[Kauria]

Naïma's green gaze softened further as she understood the meaning behind Sol'Lux's words. "Well, the best of luck to you both, wherever you're going. I might not have any trinkets to give," she said, nodding at Saphira's tiara, "but I'm hoping my wishes mean almost as much to you."
Naïma crouched down by the hatchling and whispered, "Take good care of her, Saphira."
She flashed a grin at Sol'Lux and spread her wings, a wind stirring. "I'd promised to meet a friend soon, so I'll not keep you waiting any longer. Spirits of the Elementals be with you!" she cried, leaping skyward.

[saphira]

"And to you also!" saphira cried to naima before turning in turn to sol'ux her heart swelling with joy of how she felt towards her,"so I guess we should be off I was thinking we could go to one of the dragon markets and then maybe the great tree for the gathering?"

[Nohiki]

"Hm, market you say? Actually there is something the cave is running low on and there is only one place to get it. The western forests." said Sol'Lux, "And while we're at it, let me show you a much more comfortable way to travel than flying." she said and snapped her fingers, a portal opening. "Let's go."

[saphira]

"oh wow!" saphira exclaimed as she stepped into the portal.

[Nohiki]

"It's not elemental spell. I'll teach you later, you have no idea how many 'friends' you'll make just knowing that." smiled Sol'Lux sarcastically and followed her in. They emerged safely over the trees, a glide distance from the edge, but Sol had something different in mind. "Did we ever train crash landings? Don't do it now, just watch." said Sol and turned herself into uncontrollable spin, but keeping her head facing in one direction to know where she was heading. Right before the impact on branches, she stabilized her flight and covered her eyes,burrowing through the branches and landing in a roll. "Emergency only." she said, healing her bruises. "the branches, or snow, swamp, find something that slows you down, no matter if it makes a few scratches, you'll have bones in one piece."

[saphira]

"alright i get it now," she said before asking," but where do we go know?"

[Nohiki]

"We'll split up, try to find these." she said and shown her few pictures of berries and herbs. "If you meet any earth dragon willing to help, ask for matternil, guam and tarromin. The ancient tree is just a few miles west so we'll fly once we're done here, agreed?" she asked.

[saphira]

"Alright agreed." saphira said before running off. After a while her arms were full of the berries and herbs sol'ux had showed her when stumbled upon a very old male water dragon who wasn't breathing well she stopes the herbs and rushed over to the old dragon. "Oh no are you alright?"she asked worriedly. The elder replied "No there's nothing anyone do to help me get better, but there is something you can do to put my mind to rest before I go."."what is it I'll do anything." she asked the elder despreatly. " I knew your mother young one," he said,"and this is something I know she would want you to have, it was her locket." he said, although saphira did not need to be told what it was for she recognized it at once. And then the elder laid head down and breathed one last rattling breath and was gone. Saphira didn't know what to do so she waited for sol'ux to return.

[Nohiki]

Sol'Lux returned and immediately noticed the look on her face. "What's wrong?" she asked.

[saphira]

"i was on my way back to meet you," she said sadly,"when i came upon an old dragon, older than you sol'ux, and i knew something was wrong with him and i asked him if there was something i could do to help him. He said, that he was beyond help then but there was one thing that could be done to help put him at rest, something only i could do. he told me to take this," she confessed holding up the locket," he said it had been my mothers, but i already knew what it was, and that he had know she would have wanted me to have it, a-an-and then he just died."
