WTAE || Vera (Datura)

Instructions

======= ☆ Backstory ☆ ======= Bloom ran across the grassy plain. “Run, run, run, run” kept replaying in her mind as she ran, holding a small light of flamesilk. It was nighttime, and her SilkWing friend had gifted her glow silk before running towards the….wave of darkness. Bloom couldn’t remember what it was, she really couldn’t. All she could think about was her friend. “Oh, Aurora, I’m so sorry.” She thought sadly. “Father, Mother, Venus, I’m so sorry…” All she could do was run away from the mass of darkness behind her. In what seemed like hours, or perhaps no time at all later, she reached the shoreline. The black mass was gaining on her. At once, she knew what to do. She spread her wings and flew across to Phyrrhia, away from the mass that covered Pantala. In 3 days time, Bloom reached the far shore. Bloom had barely stopped to rest or eat, and she was exhausted. She collapsed on the Sandy beach and fainted. When she awoke, she found a young male dragon standing over him. He was handsome, his jawline firm, yet he managed a small smile at Bloom. “Ah, you’ve awoken.” He exclaimed. “I’m Sandspeck! Who are you?” “Oh, I’m Bloom.” Bloom stammered. And so began Bloom and Sandspeck’s friendship. About two years after they met, Bloom became with-egg. Sandspeck was delighted to be a father to a dragonet at last. Bloom smiled at Sandspeck as their egg lay in the moonlight. “She’ll be hatching soon, I suspect.” Bloom said, and Sandspeck shivered with excitement. Bloom leaned into her mate, enjoying his warmth. The three moons were full that night. About an hour later, the egg began to crack open. Out of the sand-colored and green egg came a small female dragonet. Her eyes were the color of the three full moons. Her small wings were green, and looked as though flames were under them, her scales were tawny and sandy, her horns the color of pale sand, her ruffles along her spine just like her wings. She let out a small squeak. Bloom stared at her, and said something quite odd. “She is the tree of fire.” Sandspeck seemed to understand, and they named her Vera. From then until Vera was about 1 year old, she lived a normal life. Her powers were discovered at about 11 months of age, and she quickly learned not to use them. However, one HiveWing found them. Vera couldn’t see what was going on, but hid. She couldn’t hear her parent’s screams. She couldn’t hear her father’s cry as he d!ed, she couldn’t hear her mother’s sobs and screams as she d!ed. Silverite sensed that poor Vera was in trouble, and came to rescue her. The HiveWing, noticing Silverite, fought him, but Silverite simply defended himself. It is unknown who did it, but the HiveWing dropped d3ad. Silverite brought poor Vera to the shelter and cared for her. It was around this time that she met Tara, but she stayed away. She was most disappointed when Tara was adopted, but stayed alone. Even now, as a teen, Vera remains cold and silent. She prays someone will adopt her, and is constantly tempted to curse the young ones who come and are quickly adopted.
